Mobile App works in Corona but not on the phone

I am build a mobile app using the Corona SDK. When testing the code in Corona it all works fine however when I put it on my phone I get an error something like "a path in my computer\mainMenu.lua:147:attempt to index local 'shotgunIcon' (a nil value)" I can not figure it out because it works in Corona and the variable isnt a nil value.

local shotgunIcon = display.newImage("Sprites/ShotgunIcon.png")

local shotgunIconGroup = display.newGroup()
    shotgunIcon.x = CONTENT_WIDTH /2
    shotgunIcon.y = 300
    shotgunIcon.name = "SHOTGUN"
    shotgunIcon:addEventListener("tap", switchWeapon) 
shotgunIconGroup:insert(shotgunIcon)

Also why would the error on my phone have a file path on my computer???

Android is based on Linux, which is case sensitive for filenames. But Corona is installed on Windows, which is not case sensitive for filenames.

OMG I found it. Corona is not case sensitive with file names. The phone however is. My file was called "ShotGunIcon.png" not "ShotgunIcon.png"
