Hello,

I too am having this issue, my app even got rejected by Apple for it as I didn’t know about it. I have tons of components in my app and it has worked before.

Best,  
Ian

@domhnallohanlon,

Does Thunkable know about the issue above, if so, do they plan to fix it? I am trying to publish my app and I cannot do it because of this.

Thanks,  
Ian

@ianphaas  
do you have a Map component in your start screen?

for me it was the Map, i did not define anything in the map component settings (lat/long)… i only initialised lat/long with blocks on screen start. this caused the blank screen in my app.

@domhnallohanlon,

Does Thunkable know about this issue? It is preventing me from publishing my app and has been around for at least a few weeks with no response from Thunkable. I was considering buying PRO but if this dose not get fixed, I will take my business elsewhere.

Umm, hi, I am also experiencing the same issue here. I did my project on my iPad, and it works fine, but my iPad now needs some repairs so I used my Dad’s Mac to complete my project. But the thing is I can’t run a test or preview if my app still works, because the entire browser will turn into a blank white screen and that’s it, nothing happens.

I hope the Thukable staff or Beaver scan help me to fix this issue.

Hi.  
I think if it works fine on your iPad, and not on your Dad’s Mac maybe your Dad’s Mac has a problem.  
And even if some specific components are used in the app it may work on some devices and not on others.  
For example, once I used a firebase component and did the live preview on my laptop and it showed a blank screen. But, when I previewed on my Dad’s phone it worked.
