I have an old GUI-based standalone app that I wrote 3 or 4 years ago using app designer. I was able to compile and run it ok then, but now when I compile and run it (with R2021b). The GUI never appears. The app produces no error messages. I inserted some disp() statements in the app that appear in the command prompt window, so i believe it's it starts up and runs ok, but there's no GUI to control the app. It just sits there waiting for me to press a GUI button I can't see. I works just fine when I run it from app designer.
The complier log has some new warnings that weren't there before, but I think they're benein.
it acts like the app.VCOTest.Visible = 'on'; instruction quit working without throwing an error.
Any ideas?
