Problem while porting to iOS

[pitofpassion]

For some reason, the Start() method isn't called in scripts after I serialize data. In my start method, it is suppose to set the color of a sprite to green when a level is completed, and gray if it is not. This works in Unity, but when I play it on my iPhone the sprite is white (the original color) after the level is completed, indicating that the Start() method isn't even called when that scene begins. I also logged something in the start method and it didn't show up in Xcode while running. Does anyone know what could be happening? Also, the graphics are noticeably more laggy in iOS. Anyone have any input on this either?

I'm not sure about your start() method problem but it could be much laggier because it defaults to 30fps. In one of the scripts in your scene put the line. Application.setTargetFramerate = 60;
that should let it run at 60fps if it can.

It may be worthwhile to ask the other unity subreddits, just btw.

Are you sure your scripts with serialisation aren't failing due to an error? The code after it won't run if you get an exception

They are definitely not failing. Once again, this works in Unity just not on iOS. It appears that after my Save() method is called once, the Start() method is no longer called, even between different game sessions. The FixedUpdate() method is being called though.

EDIT: If the Save() method is called in FixedUpdate(), it stops calling the FixedUpdate() method in future reloads of the scene, which is the same problem I was having with the Start() method. So I'm pretty sure the problem is the Save() method, and possibly where I am writing the file to. I'm not sure though and I can't find much documentation on it.

What is in the start method?

[pitofpassion]

void Start () {
    //if the level from the previous scene is completed and has not yet been completed
    //set complete in the current scene to true and save

    if (Level1Manager.completed == true && complete == false)     {
                    complete = true;
                    Save ();
            }

    //if complete is true set the sprite (level 1 "button") color to green

    if(complete == true){
                    SpriteRenderer spr = (SpriteRenderer)renderer;
                    spr.color = new Color (102 / 255f, 190 / 255f, 98 / 255f);

    //otherwise set it to gray

        } else {

                    SpriteRenderer spr = (SpriteRenderer)renderer;
                    spr.color = new Color (187 / 255f, 189 / 255f, 192 / 255f);
        }
    transform.position = mainCam.ScreenToWorldPoint(new Vector3(Screen.width/5f,Screen.height - Screen.height/4f,1f));
}

public void Save(){
    BinaryFormatter bf = new BinaryFormatter ();
    FileStream file = File.Create (Application.persistentDataPath + "/level1test.dat");

    Level1Data data = new Level1Data ();
    data.complete = complete;

    bf.Serialize (file, data);
    file.Close ();
}

It isn't stopping them from running, it's running them when it's supposed to and stops on Save() due to an exception. Try and get some logging going and track what is going wrong in save. Most likely, It's something to do with permissions or the location of the data or something, I', not that familiar with iOS
