@Danidude88 Since none of that worked and you don't see a player.log file in the SimplePlanes folder (in your Files app) then it must be Unity that is crashing on startup before it even gets to our code. Unfortunately, that means we won't be able to fix it until Unity comes out with a patch. Are you in our TestFlight beta testing group?
@Danidude88 I'm sorry to hear the game isn't working on your iOS device. A few things you can try:
Restart your device - you've probably already tried this, but worth mentioning.
Clear your Settings.xml file by going into the Files app and into the SimplePlanes folder and swipe Settings.xml out of existence.
While you're in the SimplePlanes folder, email your player.log file to us at games@jundroo.com.
If that doesn't doesn't work, try uninstalling and reinstalling. Note that this will remove all aircraft on your device, so make sure you back up any design files you want to keep inside the SimplePlanes -> AircraftDesigns folder in the Files app.
@StaleCrackers Your device should be compatible. Can you email your log file to us at games@jundroo.com? Hopefully that will shed some light on what is happening. You can find it using the Files app here: On My iPhone -> SimplePlanes -> Player.log
@StaleCrackers Try restarting your device and see if that fixes the issue. What kind of iPad do you have? Does your iPad have the latest iOS installed?
@Dragoranos This is fixed in v1.12.103, which is rolling out to mobile today. Once you get the update, please let me know if it is working for you when you get the update.
@winterro I agree that is irritating that it spews that message, but unfortunately that is coming from the Unity engine so there's nothing we can do to stop it. Believe me, I wish there was!
@TheCommentaryGuy What version of the Android OS are you using? After ensuring SimplePlanes has permission to access photos, also try restarting your device and see if that fixes the issue. If not, can you email your log file to us at games@jundroo.com? You will need to connect it to a PC and use Windows Explorer to find it here (or somewhere similar): Internal shared storage\Android\data\com.jundroo.SimplePlanes\files\player.log.txt
@DeadlyDialga I can't reproduce this issue. After you experience the issue again, can your email your log file to us at games@jundroo.com? You can find it here %userprofile%\AppData\LocalLow\Jundroo\SimplePlanes\Player.log
@Ian_Yashima Sadly that is due to the Unity upgrade. We need to update our games periodically to maintain compatibility with the different app stores (iOS, Google Play, etc) or otherwise they will yank our games from their stores. Sometimes that requires us to update to a newer version of Unity and this always has the risk of breaking mods. Unfortunately that appears to be what has happened here with those mods in your screenshot. If the authors of those mods have the time and are able to rebuild it with the new mod tools using the same version of Unity we are using then the mods should work again. Sorry for the inconvenience.
You might ask "is the next major project SimplePlanes 2?" Great question! That's a very strong contender, but there are other project ideas that we are very excited about as well. Part of the team has been focusing on research and development and rest assured that once we have something more substantial to share you can expect more frequent updates from us.
@jamesPLANESii New build is out (v1.12.102) and we believe we fixed the issue with your crafts. We were all admiring your Miro today while troubleshooting that bug!
@44HH44 @GuianLorenzo @Aghsan22 Okay, we were able to track down this issue causing the game to crash on startup on some Android devices. It appears to be a bug in the Unity game engine. The good news is that they are aware of the issue, but the bad news is that we'll need to wait for them to fix it.
The mobile versions should be available soon for beta testing. iOS is here and Google Play is here.
There is a known issue where the game crashes on Android on startup. Unfortunately, this is a bug with Unity so we will need to wait until they can fix the issue. Fortunately they are aware of the issue.
@EternalDarkness @windshifter1 Thanks! I can't reproduce the delete part bug. Was the keyboard binding removed for Delete Selected Part? Do you have any error messages in the dev console when this happens? (You'll need to make sure the dev console is open before entering the designer otherwise it might not capture the error messages.)
We appreciate your concern, but we don't expect to be affected by the new changes and we don't plan to switch engines. Hopefully the response from the dev community has knocked some sense into them.
@Nerfaddict No, rest assured that development is not dead. I know we've been quiet on SP for a while, but we just don't have anything to share at the moment. Game dev is a slow process with many dead ends.
@AndrrewGarrison Whoa, I have a doppelganger! I'm sure you're doing it in good fun, but it's clearly causing some confusion. I would really appreciate it if you could change them to something else. Thanks!
When you logged in with a different account, you should have seen this dialog from Steam's Cloud Sync. It can be a bit confusing, but if you click the wrong button it is certainly possible to lose aircraft on your PC. Steam Cloud Sync is great, but if you are logging in with multiple accounts on the same PC it can be problematic.
@UssrLENIN okay, thanks for following up and letting me know what the issue is.

Do they crash the game when loading them in the designer or flight? Do you have a link to any of them? What kind of device do you have?

@Ruskiwaffle1991 This should be fixed in v1.12.103. Check your app store for the update.
@IzzyIA We upgraded Unity and had to update the input system due to compatibility issues with the old version.

%userprofile%\AppData\LocalLow\Jundroo\SimplePlanes\Player.log@TheCommentaryGuy You might need to give SimplePlanes permission to access your photos. Here are instructions.
This should be fixed in the next update for mobile (v1.12.103.1), which will be rolling out later today. It is currently fixed in the Steam version.

Update v1.12.201 is now available on Steam, iOS, and Android. It fixes the weird rotation bug and Fine Tuner.
