I’m having the same problem as BlinkOut:

I’m updating one of my games for Google Play and here’s the error that occurs when I attempt to build for Android.

How do environmental factors such as operating system, development environment, and dependencies influence the likelihood of encountering build errors?

the problem is really that there is no AI or method to help us find simple issues without a lot of work. Other than that, Solar2D is the best 2D engine by far
