I tested this project and can’t see the stage on iOS. I can see that you changed the Stage size. Can you make a project where you don’t change the stage size? ---

@jane It works fine if I don’t change the stage size. It also works fine if I turn the stage size back to a smaller size, after ‘breaking’ it. This is a bug where the stage doesn’t display if the size is set too big. I was curious if it was small-phone specific, but it looks like no, since you’ve got something huge, right? (This bug is probably unrelated to the bugged project we were discussing on intercom.) ---

Yes, I’ve got a terribly large iPhone XR 😄 I’m glad you’ve identified this as a separate behavior to what we were discussing on Intercom! If you’ve been trying different sizes, do you have an idea of what the upper limits for a Canvas height/width appear to be? I can look into this myself if you don’t. 🙂 ---

Stage width of 1600px. (1500px is ok.) ---

Thanks! And you haven’t noticed any minimum height that causes this behavior? ---

I recognize these symptoms. Here’s my guess: You renamed those assets after uploading. It’s specific to Android builds, and only builds. You can confirm that’s the problem by unzipping the apk and looking - at least you could last year. The fix last year was to delete the assets and upload new ones. And then you’ll have to manually fix everything that refers to the original asset. ---

> [@muneer](#): > > Welcome back. I’m not really back - just got pinged because apparently I still had notifications on this post, and suspected I knew the answer. (Hopefully [elcidbernardez360iqo](https://community.thunkable.com/u/elcidbernardez360iqo) will post back if that does turn out to be the problem.) I’ve been building apps over in Expo/React Native, not really doing any Thunking any more. It was slow going at first, but I really like having version control and fuller control of what my components are doing. ---

I went through your project. The stage goes white because you have a lot of broken sprites in stage 2. Remove all broken sprites and re download the APK. ---

> [@catsarisky](#): > > building apps over in Expo/React Native That’s nice. I took the route of **Flutter** and now building apps slowly but still very active in Thunkable. Two of my clients requested to have a copy of the source to give me the contract. I suggested to them to create an account with Thunkable and maintain the copy and waiting for feedback. Wish you all the best in the **React** world. ---

This happens to me on my app also. The real problem is that, I want to pay and upgrade my account, I don’t have the money for pro, so I’ll be stuck with starter upgrade. But, if this canvas problem persists, what is the point of upgrading. Anybody who downloads this app, wont be able to use it. My solution to the above problem is to continuously reinstall it, again and again and again. Sometimes it will install properly after reinstalling it 2 times, just now it took about 20 times or reinstalling to install it. Does anybody who works for Thunkable ever read the posts here? This issue is 2 years old and still exists. This is an important issue. And I’m wonder what to do in order to make everything nice and easy for the person who downloads the app I’m making. Top is an example of White Screen, Bottom is example of what it is meant to look like. ![white](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/0/e/0eb7e882a184df89a38d7eabdb3684e5554831fe.png) ---

Hello @pcostinj @peterjamesleniq thanks for reaching out here. I have gone ahead and flagged this issue to our engineering team. We will start to investigate what might be happening and get back to you once we find out more information. Thanks for your patience!
