@Zoyt None of the .lua files relating to my app are being exported, from what you said this sounds like a issue with codea, do you think a re-installation would fix it?
Ill back it up and re install and see if that changes anything, its quite odd though how its not exporting the lua files…
@Luatee can you export a really simple project (just make a brand new project and export it) then host the zip file somewhere so I can download it and take a look?
@Luatee thanks for that. That is very odd, the export process is not working as it should. Has it ever worked for you in the past?
@Simeon I know I wasn’t sure if it was normal to begin with but obviously its not. I can’t be too sure I haven’t previously had a mac this is the first time I’ve come to export a project properly, I had a fiddle with it when it was first released and I didn’t get any crashes/errors but then I didn’t explore the files it created so I couldn’t tell you.
Luatee lent me his project to fix. Here’s how I fixed it:
- Take the project directly from the Codea app by using iExplorer. Copy the entire thing onto your computer.
- Export the project in Codea.
- Replace the folder in the export called “MyProject.codea” with the folder you took from Codea with iExplorer.
- Rename the folder (in the project navigator) call “MyProject” to your project name.
- Look for any red files in the project navigator (other than “libcodea.a” and “libtoos.a”) and replace it with the corresponding file in the actual file in Finder. Every time you replace a red file, delete the red file. That way, Xcode know only to look for the new one you placed in the project, and not the old one.
- Make sure you’ve replaced the file called “MyProject-Prefix.pch” with “[your project name]-Prefix.pch”. If that’s done, go to Project Settings > MyProject (the target) > Build Settings > Apple LLVM 5.0 - Language > Prefix Header and change that to “[your project name]/[your project name]-Prefix.pch”.
- In AppDelegate.mm, change
MyProject.codeainNSString* projectPath = [[[NSBundle mainBundle] bundlePath] stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"Paint.codea"];to[you project name].codea - Run it.
Make sure that [your project name].code and your sprite pack and shader packs folder are all references, not group (has a blue file icon).
I hope that helps!
@Simeon - I can’t seem to figure it out. saveImage seems to crash the Codea runtime. I’m wondering if this is an issue with my manual configuration of the engine or a Codea issue. Here’s the crash log:

@Zoyt I’ve done some debugging on Xcode and I’ve found the, well what I think is the problem, obviously saving images in Xcode doesn’t work using saveImage and leads to that error. At the top of the draw function you’ll see imgload, I commented these imgload parts (3 parts) at the top of draw function and now it loads up, the problem l think is that using saveImage saves a path of an image to one of the directories but not the image so it’s loading nothing, I’m thinking this is caused by the crash with saveImage. I haven’t been able to locate the save file but if I take out the image loading script for the menu then it runs fine 
I had an issue with saveImage in the runtime before, to fix it what I had to do was delete the documents (or Dropbox) folder that I was trying to save to from the Xcode project. Perhaps Simeon has fixed that particular issue, but it’s worth a try.
Well I’m just doing saveImage(“Documents:blah”) and spriteList(“Documents”) but saveImage causes a crash and then when I look for the documents folder its not there, I have documents.spritepack which is in the project but that stores all needed images so I don’t want to delete that!
