For me:
disabling [“plugin.appodeal”] and [“plugin.facebook.v4”] solves the problem.
Sure there is a problem with plugins.
I have the same problem
(I have send the error report in “report a bug”)
plugin.facebook.v4 is the problem for me. Removing it allows compilation but leaves a broken app 
Please include vital information with these reports:
-
What version of Corona SDK are you building with?
-
Are you building on a Mac or PC?
-
What platform are you trying to build for?
-
Please copy/paste the entire error message(s) from the console log window that we open behind the simulator.
-
Is this an always fails or sporadic failure?
Thanks
Rob

- Build fails always
Rob, simply add plugin.facebook.v4 to hello world and try an android build and you will see the failure. Remove Facebook plugin and it will build.
enabling plugin.appodeal is also causing build errors on Android. IOS working just fine.
@adrianm, there are multiple reports with different issues, so I doubt it’s the Facebook plugin itself is the issue. Please provide there requested information so we can classify the reports.
Rob
@Rob, It is definitely the Facebook plugin for me. Add it to your hello world app and the build constantly fails. Remove it and the build works.
This is the most simple use case I can think of… Just trying to localise for you so engineering can replicate.
It crahses with this plugins:
[“plugin.admob”] =
{
publisherId = “com.coronalabs”,
supportedPlatforms = { iphone=true, android=true }
},
[“plugin.google.iap.v3”] =
{
publisherId = “com.coronalabs”,
supportedPlatforms = { android=true,iphone=false }
},
[“plugin.kidoz”] =
{
publisherId = “com.coronalabs”,
supportedPlatforms = { iphone=true, android=true }
},
[“CoronaProvider.native.popup.social”] =
{
publisherId = “com.coronalabs”
},
The build error (5) was sporadic for the past few weeks but after trying few more times the build would occur. Today after trying more than 5 times it is not building.
Here is the warning :
ERROR: An error occurred during build (corona.build.7). The server returned the following message:

I am using Corona Simulator in Windows 10, Corona Simulator : 2016.3016. Trying to build for Android both Amazon and Google Play but neither builds.
I am using following plugins in the build:
plugin.google.play.services
shared.android.support.v4
plugin.appodeal
plugin.flurry.analytics
CoronaProvider.native.popup.social
With all these plugins the build was successful yesterday and day before yesterday also, without any error. I had to build for around 3 to 5 times and all the build were successful in the first attempt. I only added an image and changed some logic in the game today and saw the build error today.
@Sheekore, if you’re using Corona build 3005 or later you should not be including plugin.google.play.services and I doubt shared.android.support.v4 is needed either. Please remove them and try again.
Rob
We have also a similiar problem with build on Android error 5. (we are using the appodeal plugin)
Everyone, please provide me all the answers I asked for above. At a minimum I need to know your build number…
@Rob, Thank you for letting me know this. I have removed both the plugins. The same error (5) still persists though.
Building for Android with Version 2017.3023 (2017.1.12).
Error code: 5

Hi,
It is same here, until today I was getting this error a few times and eventually it was working but today not a chance. I have tried to remove play services but did not help.
I have tried with daily builds 3023, 3007, 2972 and last stable build but all the same.
Here is the plugin settings in my project;
-- Plugins Section plugins = { ["plugin.math2d"] = { publisherId = "com.roaminggamer" }, ["plugin.google.play.services"] = { publisherId = "com.coronalabs", supportedPlatforms = {iphone=true, android=true } }, ["plugin.hockey"] = { publisherId = "com.coronalabs", supportedPlatforms = { iphone=true, android=true } }, ["plugin.openudid"] = { publisherId = "com.coronalabs", supportedPlatforms = { iphone=true }, }, ["plugin.googleAnalytics"] = { publisherId = "com.coronalabs", supportedPlatforms = { iphone=true, android=true } }, ["plugin.iCloud"] = { publisherId = "com.coronalabs", supportedPlatforms = { iphone=true, appletvos=true, osx=true } }, ["plugin.facebook.v4"] = { publisherId = "com.coronalabs", supportedPlatforms = { iphone=true, android=true} }, ["CoronaProvider.native.popup.social"] = { publisherId = "com.coronalabs" }, ["CoronaProvider.native.popup.activity"] = { publisherId = "com.coronalabs", supportedPlatforms = { iphone=true } }, },-
