Build error code 5

Are you using any plugins?

Yes.

plugins =

    {

        [“facebook”] =

        {

            publisherId = “com.coronalabs”,

        },

        [“CoronaProvider.ads.admob”] =

        {

            publisherId = “com.coronalabs”,

        },

        [“CoronaProvider.native.popup.social”] =

        {

            publisherId = “com.coronalabs”

        },

    },

Removed all plugins and all is well.

Without seeing your whole build.settings, it’s going to be hard to look for problems.  You can also add the plugins back one at a time to see if a specific plugin is causing the problem.

Same problem Here:
 

Corona message when finishes building:

Jan 16 10:04:19.007: iOS build failed (5)

Cannot build my app after upgrading to the most recent daily build.

Both these Corona builds fail: CoronaSDK-2015.2535, CoronaSDK-2015.2537

*** However, I went back to version Version 2015.2529 (2015.1.3) and it works! ****

So does Version 2015.2533 (2015.1.9)

SOLUTION:

There is a major issue with daily builds 2535 to 2537.

The last good daily build is 2534 so go get it.

I wasted 4 hours on this problem today.

Thank you very much theromero, you saved my day

Same here. This issue happens with 2535 but not with earlier builds.

For @pwilczynski

The forums say you are a Starter tier account (but frequently, people will have access to other tiers).  Can you confirm your tier level and the version of Corona SDK you are running?

I think your error is different that everyone elses, since they are running on a later daily build which seems to be having issues.  Your error seems to do with your directory/application name:

/Users/pwilczynski/Desktop/ Angielski z kryminałem - Cold little hand.app /Info.plist: file does not exist or is not readable or is not a regular file (Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=260 “The file “Info.plist” couldn’t be opened because there is no such file.” UserInfo=0x7f8e735133d0 {NSFilePath=/Users/pwilczynski/Desktop/Angielski z kryminałem - Cold little hand.app/Info.plist, NSUnderlyingError=0x7f8e73513160 “The operation couldn’t be completed. No such file or directory”})

Spaces and non-ASCII letters cause build issues.  In fact this is another thing we continue to try and harden and one of the daily builds in the past few days deals with non-ASCII characters better.  I would recommend naming your app with out spaces and most certainly getting that one UTF-8 character out of there.   You can still have that name for the iTunes Connect display name of the app, but for the app bundle that name is going to be too long to show under the icon anyway.

As for the rest of you who did not provide the version number you are trying to build against, please post the version that is failing and try to drop back to 2534. 

Thanks

Rob

@theromero was this the issue you were messaging me about last night or is that a different problem still?

Thanks

Rob

Version 2015.2538 (2015.1.17)

Build failed:

There was a problem linking the app.

Check the console for more information

Just updated Corona to latest build. The previous version I had worked all right and just did a release version with it to iTunes. Don’t however remember the version number for it. Maybe a week old.

ISO

Okay I’ve alerted Engineering.   Please use daily build 2534 or earlier for now.  Since it’s the weekend, this may not get looked at until Monday or so.

Rob

This should be on the home page in blinking lights!!! Come on, more people need to be aware of this issue. I wasted too much time on this just to find out the last builds have been busted, smh. You guys used to be better then this…

I tried to build (removing spaces and build failed, back to 2534). Maybe remove the latest builds if they are broken?

Yes they are, you must build using 2534 or earlier. 

Just to be clear we know builds 2534 and earlier work. 

For Builds 2534 and earlier: If you are getting build errors with one of those version and you have spaces or non-ASCII characters in the directory name where the app is being built from, then try removing those spaces and non-ASCII characters.

For Builds 2535-2538:   Drop back to 2534.

Rob

I am using public release 2511. Removing non-ASCII char from directory name helped - this wasn’t a problem before, but now it solved it.

Thanks for all the info guys … we’ve figured out the issue and it should be fixed in Daily Build 2015.2539 and above.
