Hi,
I am trying to update my Android app with its application name in Chinese & Japanese (like 台)
My last update was in 2016 and it worked with these non-english characters. When I try the 2018.3222 and 2017.3184 (public), it returns a build error (below).
Android build failed (1)
It works if the application name is in english (without any other characters).
Happens on Windows build. No problem on Mac build.
Anyone experiencing the same problem ?
Engineering is investigating the issue. In the meantime if you’re just building to test on a device, you can just avoid the Unicode characters and if you’re needing to upload an update to Google Play, do the builds on the Mac until we can figure out what’s going on.

Hello! Thank you for reporting the issue. We are working on fixing it. For now, to build your application with name in non-english charset, change locale to target charset. Here’s instructions how to do it: https://www.java.com/en/download/help/locale.xml
I was able to build app without problems setting locale to Japanese (Japan).
