I made a game and tried to export it for an Android APK. But there is a error message (check below) it has something to do with the splash screen. I’ve tried exporting it on mobile pc and website, but none of them worked. It is a cloud game if it helps. I’m posting it here because I might think this is a bug

I’m having the same problem. Have you solved yours yet?

Yes, you need to check in recources and see if there are any corrupted files or weird names, I noticed it when there was one sprite showing up where it needs to be empty
Did that, replaced every icons and thumbnails, even reverted the splash screen back to GDevelop logo and water mark. Still gave me an error

Have you updated the engine? And check for corrupted names / file extensions
How do you know if the file name/extension is corrupted?
The game works fine in preview, and I can build to Web, Desktop, and Manual with no problem. only APK gave error.
The engine and my operating system is up to date.

It’s very obvious, you just need to look for a very different one, it’s hard to explain. You can also find it easily if you see a certain sprite everywhere. If this doesn’t work I can’t help you further I think. Then it needs to get fixed by the gdevelop team

Just curious… what kind of file/folder names are invalid (can’t be used)?

Aan far as I know you can use a lot, like PNG, jpg webp etc (I’m not sure)
Hey, my build works! so basically there were some overlaps files (old files and new files under the same name). Though the source of the old files already deleted, but somehow under the menu “Resources” they still detected it with missing icons.
The old files directory were under directory “Resources folder” and the new files are under “assets” folder.
Once i cleared all the double files from “Resources” menu, build completed.
Thanks again! I really appreciate your help.
Cheers!

To add context: The game engine does not know nor care about your project folder’s subfolders or content.
It only cares about what is in the resources panel. Meaning if you move a file directly in your folder, and not in the engine, you break your project links. Likewise, anything you intend to remove has to be removed out of the resources panel. (This also means that files deleted out of the game project in-engine are not deleted from the folder, which is pretty standard in game engines to avoid data loss).
