Posted on by PamelaChinyemba31

Hello,

I am working on an app and when i press play while in the studio it starts on the correct screen, but when i press play when I am on the page that lists all my apps it does not start on the correct screen. What could be the problem.

My on start property is set on my loginscreen which is the page that needs to start.

The App is set on Run on start.

I'm finding your wording a little confusing... Are you saying that when you press play on the top right of the edit screen, the app doesn't run your OnStart or play from the correct screen?

@PamC In Development time, when you hit the play button the App will just run the screen which you are working on. If you want to go to the start screen, do this,

But when you Play the App, it will start with the screen that you had set in the App StartScreen property.

Hi @CNT ,
If you do it this way, does it run your OnStart also? or do you have to do it seperately?

@RJM07 @PamC

They are two separate things!

@CNT , I see now. I just tried it.
I never noticed that it exists before, the play symbol on it made me think it would put the app into play mode, just from the start.

Thanks for clarifying though 🙂
