Android build failed / Error code: 256

borderleap · October 29, 2015, 4:59pm

Anyone seen this? Can’t build for Android… :(

borderleap · October 29, 2015, 5:40pm

I was using the latest daily build… couldn’t get past the error, even ensuring my Android SDK was up to date. Reverted back to the public build and it’s working now.

I just did a build for Android with 2751 on a Mac and it built fine.

Can you tell us more about your setup?

Any more errors in your console log?

I got the ‘Error code: 256’ when building for Android today.

It turned out the error was thrown because I had added android push icons but some of the required icons were missing… as described in this thread: https://forums.coronalabs.com/topic/58954-push-notification-icons-android/

I’m getting this error now on build 2806.

From the log…

Are you still getting this error?

Do you get it if you build the Hello World sample app?

I just tried to build HelloWorld and got the output below. Note that the first time I tried to build today I got the dialog warning about a lack of Java SDK, so I installed it. After that I got further - to the point where the 256 errors are occuring.

Firstly, are you using the Android debug keystore or one of your own? If your own, try with the Android debug keystore.

What happens if you run this command in a Terminal window?

ls -l /usr/bin/jarsigner

If that results in a “no such file or directory”, what does this yield:

locate jarsigner

beernathan · January 29, 2016, 8:17pm

I’m using androiddebugkey.

When I run ls -l /usr/bin/jarsigner I get

lrwxr-xr-x&nbsp; 1 root&nbsp; wheel&nbsp; 79 27 Nov 10:26 /usr/bin/jarsigner -\> /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/Current/Commands/jarsigner

Perry_Clarke · January 29, 2016, 8:55pm

What do you get if you run jarsigner itself in a Terminal?

jarsigner

Perry_Clarke · January 29, 2016, 9:03pm

Here’s a more acid test … what output does this command produce when run in Terminal?

JAVA\_TOOL\_OPTIONS='-Duser.language=en' jarsigner -tsa http://timestamp.digicert.com -keystore /Applications/CoronaSDK-2806/Resource\ Library/Android/debug.keystore -storepass 'android' -keypass 'android' /Applications/CoronaSDK-2806/Corona\ Simulator.app/Contents/Resources/\_coronatest.jar androiddebugkey

Perry_Clarke · January 29, 2016, 10:26pm

Interesting … how about:

JAVA\_TOOL\_OPTIONS='-Duser.language=en' jarsigner -keystore /Applications/CoronaSDK-2806/Resource\ Library/Android/debug.keystore -storepass 'android' -keypass 'android' /Applications/CoronaSDK-2806/Corona\ Simulator.app/Contents/Resources/\_coronatest.jar androiddebugkey

I removed the -tsa option as it seems to be giving your version of Java issues.

Hmmm … it seems like your Java installation is busted in some way. jarsigner is a standard command used to build Android applications (however they are built). I’ve installed Java version “1.8.0_71” and made sure I can build Android apps so this issue seems specific to your computer.

If I were you, I would remove and reinstall Java (you can find some help with this at http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/webnotes/install/mac/mac-jdk.html )

This is what I see on my computer:

&nbsp; ~ % java -version java version "1.8.0\_71" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0\_71-b15) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.71-b15, mixed mode) &nbsp; ~ % JAVA\_TOOL\_OPTIONS='-Duser.language=en' jarsigner -tsa http://timestamp.digicert.com -keystore /Applications/CoronaSDK-2806/Resource\ Library/Android/debug.keystore -storepass 'android' -keypass 'android' /Applications/CoronaSDK-2806/Corona\ Simulator.app/Contents/Resources/\_coronatest.jar androiddebugkey Picked up JAVA\_TOOL\_OPTIONS: -Duser.language=en jar signed. Warning: The signer certificate has expired.

beernathan · January 31, 2016, 10:33pm

Uninstalled, then Installed again. Same error code in Corona when building (256).

beernathan · February 1, 2016, 1:33am

I did some more research on this, but can’t find anything - there was a netbeans ticket, but it looks like it wasn’t ever repeatable.

Perry_Clarke · February 1, 2016, 5:51pm

Just for completeness, do you get the same (or similar) error just running jarsigner with no arguments at the command prompt?

Yeah, I found that same NetBeans bug but couldn’t find anything else.

beernathan · February 2, 2016, 2:11am

If I just type “jarsigner” I get a usage listing…

Usage: jarsigner [options] jar-file alias &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; jarsigner -verify [options] jar-file [alias...]

Is that what you mean?

borderleap · October 29, 2015, 5:40pm

I was using the latest daily build… couldn’t get past the error, even ensuring my Android SDK was up to date. Reverted back to the public build and it’s working now.
