Checked this version with web-app (published). The screen open blocks seemed to be working now, Thanks. Thunkable staff.

it’s working but there is a different bug for me on ios. when I’m downloading my app or publishing it, a lot of pictures in my app is getting cut. don’t know what causes it, but it’s not possible to publish a version with half the pictures cut. did that happen to anyone else?

Looks like it is working for me on Android (I have not tested on iOS yet). @oreeldadln I am not seeing the issue you are describing on my app but it does in fact ring a bell…

The demonstration app I created (see my prior post on this thread) still does function correctly. A proper solution will both render visible components AND have the start event occur only once per screen and the open event only occur on screen opening. Neither production or staging meet both criteria for my demonstration app. 😢

@drted I totally agree with you. I am still getting the screen-reopen even in the app compiled on the staging environment ☹

Just checked on iOS, the issue has been fixed there but I am still seeing the “top bar color not being the same as the screen’s background color” issue as well as the multiple start screen opens.

Did you download your app from the staging environment or the production one?

You don’t need to remove the working version from your devices to install the test one. Just go to the staging (test) environment [(link)](https://x-staging-pro.thunkable.com/). My recommendation is to temporarily change your app’s id to something like com.test.app and use the Download option to send it via email to your iOS device and to download the APK to copy to your Android device and install it manually. This way you can have both working and test versions on your devices. The reason you most probably say that you are still seeing the issue is because you have not downloaded the app from the staging environment since the fix is not yet deployed to the production environment.

I hope this helps

Yes, because the Thunkable Live app uses the production environment, not the staging environment where the fix is available.

Thanks for testing @drted

I took a look at your demonstration project and apparently there seems to be 2 issues that I can see immediately

1. On Web: The labels on both the screens on which the actions are performed aren’t visible to me as shown in the attached image. Are you able to see them?  
 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/1/8/188b380709f2d34ccddcda38536e7bb74dff1835.png)
2. Multiple firing of the blocks - We will be looking into it more and get back to you.

Are you testing on the Thunkable Live app or have you downloaded a version from the staging environment?
