got an error when I tried to side load


The bundleID field is missing from pdxinfo.



I think I've heard that happening if you try to sideload it using the web-browser, have you tried sideloading it with usb from computer?

I haven’t but will try that approach

I will get to fixing it so you can sideload it from the web too, I've just not gotten around to it yet. My apologies for that

I found this isue with my game too and spent ages trying loads of different things. the first thing is to try a different zip program. i found windows built in zip didnt work but winrar zip option did.i tried just rezipping ur game and that didint woirk, it needs more info in the pdx . should read something like this then it seems to work :)

"

Also with this if you then place a 350 x 155 px image called "card.png" in the images folder it will show up on the playdate menu

Hi LowtekGames - sent you a message on twitter :) I think I have a fix for this but I'd really like to verify it first so trying to get someone to try uploading it through the web browser. I sent you a link with the fixed version, if you got a chance to try it out let me know, that would be awesome. Then I know I can post my new build to itch as well with the proper metadata (pdxinfo).

I'm also happy to try out a new build if you send me one. (@livingtech on twitter.)

Thanks Martin! I think the sideloading hassle should be resolved now.
