Build for device just hangs.

I’m trying to build for device at the moment in order to test our application (if it goes well, we’ll be upgrading from the trial; since we’ve reached that stage), yet the build process just hangs.

Screenshot is below, any ideas why it’s doing this?

this happened to me once before, all i did was restart my imac and it never gave me that issue ever again [import]uid: 10827 topic_id: 4916 reply_id: 15886[/import]

It suddenly kicked in after about 10 minutes of waiting, all good now :). [import]uid: 13089 topic_id: 4916 reply_id: 15892[/import]

Same for me…
Corona Simulator not responding…
And i restarted my MacBook Pro several times.
Not the first time it happens to me.
Is that a corona server issue??? [import]uid: 25327 topic_id: 4916 reply_id: 35763[/import]

Is there any comment on this, I constantly get “connecting to server” hangs and this is making the development pretty miserable.

I have to test multitouch stuff on the device so this is really a priority, I CAN’T wait 10 minutes-hours each time I want to build a distributable for the device.

This must be the server side as sometimes it works in “small” time as 20-30 seconds which is still miserable.

Please do something to fix this, it’s making the development process really annoying, even so annoying that I’m thinking of unsubscribing and moving to other platform just for this.

Please fix this ASAP, this is CRITICAL [import]uid: 85536 topic_id: 4916 reply_id: 80388[/import]

edit: doublepost

edit2: Same thing happening again

edit3: Some notes, when “Using custom build Id XXXXXXX…” appears, the build always goes through. Before that nothign happens and the process just hangs. [import]uid: 85536 topic_id: 4916 reply_id: 80389[/import]

Hi Mikko,

just wondering - sometimes it is a good idea to look at other things whilst you are waiting for an Ansca reply, so how large is your App? Do you have any large video files or large graphic files?

Can you confirm if you do a very small test piece, the same thing happens?

I am wondering if you have the ability to test building on someone elses internet connection at a different location?

Also I wondered if this suffering is on a wi-fi connection, if you have other things which may interfere with the signals, like other wifi networks close by(but I gues you may find other internet uses slow too then) - the other idea I had was to pop a cable in and make sure it is not a dodgy wi-fi issue. Cables are pretty rock solid.

Just a few ideas, I hope you sort it soon.

IPete2.

Other websites worked ok so I don’t think it’s my connection (I can’t of course be sure). The app is quite small so I don’t think it’s about that (at the moment I’m just prototyping so there are no graphics)

I’m building to android if that matters.

And yes, I have wifi (the box about meter from my computer) I will test with physical cable next time this happens. [import]uid: 85536 topic_id: 4916 reply_id: 80470[/import]

The build hanged again and I used speedtest.net to check that there was no problem with my connection. Other sites worked OK too for the whole time including www.anscamobile.com.

Interestingly forums (and apparently the whole developer.anscamobile.com) also blocked my post for the time when I tried to build but www.* worked ok.

Is anyone else having this problem? I’m asking because this might also be DNS issue. [import]uid: 85536 topic_id: 4916 reply_id: 80480[/import]

Hey guys,

Sorry to hear about this - I haven’t encountered any issues building personally and I don’t believe we’ve had any server issues.

It would be work checking your internet speed - there are some speedtest sites online that are quick and easy.

I will pass this on and see if anyone from the team has any ideas or suggestions for you.

The one thing to keep in mind is those of you on trial accounts are likely to encounter slower build times than subscribers.

> It would be work checking your internet speed - there are some speedtest sites online that are quick and easy.

As I said above, I checked the speed during the hang. I cross-checked with multiple sites after it hanged again and at least they said there is nothing wrong.

The odd thing is as I said that developer.anscamobile.com was also unreachable or very, very slow but www.anscamobile.com worked fine. I assume this means that you have server or internet problem somewhere on your network or my provider (a big one where I live) does have some dns/routing problem.

Apologies, I missed that part of your post.

I’ll ask around today and see if we were in fact having server issues.

Are you still experiencing the problem? [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 4916 reply_id: 80581[/import]

For iOS builds, the build process can hang if there are problems with the syntax in the build.settings file. The easy way to find out if this is the problem is to rename build.settings and see if the build works.

If your app contains lots of graphics or large graphics, this can slow down the build process too. [import]uid: 7559 topic_id: 4916 reply_id: 80678[/import]
