Hello Thunkable Support! I worked on my App "White Wolf " for a while now, and now I have the problem that the sprites on my Canvas don’t show anymore. I exported the app as an apk and installed it, but it doesn’t work. But on the live test feature it does work well. I would be really happy if you could help me solve this issiue! Timo ---

Welcome to Thunkable. You have not provided enough information for anyone to help you. Is this problem specific to this project only? What if you start a new project and add a canvas and a sprite and try it in the mobile Thunkable app, will it show the sprite or not? ---

I work on this project for about a month now, and I always made copies to have a backup. This is not the first App I made, so I have a bit of experience. On the last backup of my Game wos this not the case! ---

The project with the problem in it, took me quiet long to build, so is it okay if a share a copy of the Project?

I noticed you have invalid sprites under `sprite1` images. Remove the invalid ones and it should work OK ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/c/2/c2fee8678b4d27018f2321fd4229f403d9cf47e9.png) And do the same for all other sprite types. ---
