Collada files don’t embed textures, they only have references to them. Make sure that your textures are reachable from the collada file when you open it in Preview and make sure to include the textures in the app bundle when building an app.
How do I export a SketchUp model to a COLLADA file?

How to export textures from Blender to Mac?
Put your collada (.dae) file along with any textures you will be using in it. Drag the folder into your project and save as copy like usual. Click on your scnassets folder and you will see a checked box (if not check it) for converting to a “y” up axis.
How to export animation simulation to Collada results?
Alembic should be available in release builds, but as alembic support is compiled into blender, if it isn’t available you will need to find a different copy of blender that has it included. Blender can use this exported data in the Mesh Cache Modifier for mdd and pc2 or the Mesh Sequence Cache Modifier for alembic.
How to skip polygons in a COLLADA file?
Skip polygons for invisible nodes: If a node is invisible, will not export that node. Remove unused vertices: Scans the polygons to identify any vertices that are not being used, removes them from the mesh, and reassigns the polygons to use the reduced list.
How to change the up axis of a COLLADA file?
Up Axis: Select the up axis for the particular program the object will be imported into. The default is Y Up, but different programs may use other axes. This changes only the Up-Axis setting and will not perform any additional geometry modifications.
Can You import a COLLADA file into SketchUp?
COLLADA is an XML-based schema that enables you to transfer data among 3D digital content creation tools, such as SketchUp, Maya, 3ds Max, and Rhino. COLLADA files use the .dae file extension, which stands for digital asset exchange. In SketchUp, you can import and export COLLADA files pretty easily.
How to remove unused vertices from a COLLADA file?
Remove unused vertices: Scans the polygons to identify any vertices that are not being used, removes them from the mesh, and reassigns the polygons to use the reduced list. Affects both standard and LOD models so if exporting LOD levels and need the exported mesh to contain a compatible vertex list across all LOD levels, deselect this option.
