Android app build problem

I searched through the forum here and couldn’t see anyone with this problem, so here goes …

Been working in the trial version for a few days and periodically building my app and deploying it to my Android phone fine. Starting last night, the build still works fine and creates the APK file, but when I go to my phone, the older version (many iterations ago) is still there.

Almost like the build is taking files from memory or something. Still happening today and I have done complete shutdowns of my systems. I have changed the app name, package name, version number, etc… and these are reflected on the device but still the running code is an old version.

Anyone seen this before?? [import]uid: 47399 topic_id: 11039 reply_id: 311039[/import]

So I found this post with a similar problem from months ago:

http://developer.anscamobile.com/forum/2011/05/08/build-server-keeps-giving-me-same-old-version

So maybe an intermittent known issue?

Also something else I noticed. Yesterday the Android builds were pretty fast (under a minute). Since this issue started happening they are taking about twice as long or more.

Something change on the Android build server? [import]uid: 47399 topic_id: 11039 reply_id: 40176[/import]

Okay, despite the fact that it seems like I’m having a conversation with myself here …

I still think there is some sort of caching issue on the build server and my app is stuck.

Here is what I tried:

I changed each piece of info in the build:

  • application name
  • version #
  • package name
  • even the folder save location

I tried every combination, from changing just one part to all parts and no luck. I know the app gets updated on my device as each time I change the name, the new app name appears on my screen. Then I start the app and it’s 20 versions behind.

So I then completely uninstalled Corona and reinstalled. Opened my project fresh in the editor and the simulator, and did a rebuild. I still get my code version from Wednesday. What the !!!

I cannot see it being something here, that code is long gone. I do notice that when the build runs, the package seems to be located in … /data/local/tmp/AAAAA.apk I cannot remember if this showed my build folder when the builds worked or not or if this is some sort of temp build location that always appears. I tried building sample apps and they also showed this location so I think this is fine.

Anyone, anywhere have this issue before?? Anyone at Corona out there?
