Build for iOS fails with a space in the folder name of the source files

I have a project folder on the Desktop on my Macbook called “Corona Projects” there are various subfolders beneath this for my own projects as well as those I have downloaded from the Corona website.

I have been working with the simulator for both iPhone and Android with no problems. Also, I did a build for Android devices and the resulting .APK file worked as expected. Yesterday, however, I finally got my Apple developer membership going, so I decided to try and work through the whole provisioning and build process for iOS. This is where the problem started.

The Corona UI indicated that the build was fine (certainly didn’t mention any errors), but when I attempted to move the resulting file over to my iPhone device, iTumes informed me that the “signature was invalid.” Of course, since the Apple process of getting various certificates and provisioning is so convoluted, I spent quite a bit of time redoing this to see if I had screwed something up along the way.

After many attempts, I finally looked at the Corona output in the Terminal window (I know I should have done this earlier!), and it appeared that there was an error message regarding not being able to copy a file. Furthermore, the error message seemed to give the source path as something like “User/Me/Desktop/Corona” when in fact it should have been “User/Me/Desktop/Corona Projects/MyProject”.

So there you have it: A very long explanation by me (sorry) of what is actually a pretty simple issue regarding Corona incorrectly handling a folder name with a space in it. It caught me off guard because the Android build (and all simulator builds) worked fine.

Keep up the good work with Corona! Now that I can build for iOS, it is only a matter of time before I pay for the full product and begin my subscription.

Generally never put spaces in filenames. Ever notice how programmers use capitalization and underscores to make names like greatFile or great_file to give stuff? Now you know why. [import]uid: 12108 topic_id: 5012 reply_id: 16427[/import]

LOL. You are absolutely right. And please don’t take any of my bug or error reports as anything other than trying to make Corona a better product because honestly, you have done an AMAZING job of creating the hands-down best tool for iPhone and Android app creation!

That being said, I guess the bigger issue would be if the Corona UI could indicate that an error occurred during compilation. As a new user, I assumed that the Corona “Build complete” dialog indicated the build was successful. Perhaps you could indicate in this dialog that an error occurred (whether it is this error or a different one) and not even create the app file? Just a suggestion.

Again, thank you for all your hard work! I am purchasing the full Corona version today. [import]uid: 13121 topic_id: 5012 reply_id: 16737[/import]
