Build stuck at "Connecting with server"

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

Last week I lost connectivity to Internet while I was doing a device build for iOS. The connectivity was restored quickly. But the build process stopped working. Everytime I try to build now, Corona shows the popup with message “connecting with server”. That’s it. Nothing happens after that. No message in the terminal. I already reported to support last week. Wondering if anyone has seen this issue before. [import]uid: 19297 topic_id: 16862 reply_id: 316862[/import]

what’s on your config.lua build settings?

usually means you have a malformed syntax on config.lua or buildsettings.

can you post the code here or email it to support, provide me a ticket and i will look

Here you go:

-- build.settings  
  
settings = {  
 orientation = {  
 default = "portraitRight",  
 supported = { "portraitRight", "portraitLeft" },  
 },  
 iphone = {  
 plist = {  
 MinimumOSVersion = "3.2.0",  
 LSRequiresIPhoneOS = YES,  
 UIInterfaceOrientation = "portrait",  
 UIPrerenderedIcon = true,  
 UIStatusBarHidden=true,  
 CFBundleIconFile = "Icon.png",  
 CFBundleIconFiles = {  
 "Icon.png" ,  
 "Icon@2x.png" ,  
 "Icon-72.png" ,  
 "Icon-Small-50.png" ,  
 "Icon-Small.png" ,  
 "Icon-Small@2x.png"  
 },  
 },  
 },  
}  
  
-- config.lua  
application =  
{  
 content =  
 {  
 width = 320,  
 height = 480,  
 scale = "Letterbox",  
 xAlign = "center",  
 yAlign = 'top',  
 fps = 60,  
 imageSuffix =  
 {  
 ["@2x"] = 1,  
 },  
 }  
}

Have not changed these for a while…

Tried the new build 649. It asks for verifying purchase. Once I enter email and password, it crashes. Also shows up the following errors before open any app:
objc[2295]: Object 0x554f80 of class NSPathStore2 autoreleased with no pool in place - just leaking - break on objc_autoreleaseNoPool() to debug
objc[2295]: Object 0x5551a0 of class NSPathStore2 autoreleased with no pool in place - just leaking - break on objc_autoreleaseNoPool() to debug

Build 648 was no different than previous builds. But it did not crash like this.

I am really stuck with this now. Working with maps which do not show up in the simulator. [import]uid: 19297 topic_id: 16862 reply_id: 63557[/import]

I had this same problem recently when I tried a build while my internet connection was down. I deleted all the com.ansca* files under ~/library/Preferences. When I restarted the simulator it asked for my login and password and everything was OK after that.

I got the idea to delete these files from these instructions which I got from my welcome email when I first purchased coronaSDK.

  1. Deauthorize your computer in Corona SDK: Corona Simulator>Preferences>Deauthorize and Quit
  2. Start Corona SDK and reauthorize
  3. If it still says you are a “trial user”, do the following:
  • Deauthorize your computer: Corona Simulator>Preferences>Deauthorize and Quit
  • Remove two files in ~/library/Preferences/ folder:
    — com.anscamobile.ratatouille.plist
    — com.anscamobile.Corona_Simulator.plist
  1. Start Corona SDK and reauthorize

If you are running on Windows, do the following:

  1. Deauthorize your computer in Corona SDK: File>Preferences>Deauthorize and Quit
  2. Delete the Ansca Mobile registry key:
  1. Start Corona SDK and reauthorize [import]uid: 67839 topic_id: 16862 reply_id: 63568[/import]

@ elbowroomapps: thanks for all the details. I am on Mac. I tried your steps. But no luck. [import]uid: 19297 topic_id: 16862 reply_id: 63570[/import]

It is working now…

I went back to build 513. It asked to login again (which happens with deauthorize and authorize as well, but that did not fix it). After that it completed the build fine.

Now I tried newer builds (645) and worked fine.

I tried 649. It keeps asking to verify purchase. Even after that, it assumes trial mode. But it builds fine in trial mode. [import]uid: 19297 topic_id: 16862 reply_id: 63582[/import]

We’ve had some other issues reported with build .649.

Daily builds should not be presumed perfect or even functional. First course of action if you experience any issues should always be to revert to the latest stable build.

Glad all is now resolved.

Just a note this issue exists with just about every Corona build I had tried… Been stuck with this for 2 days but have been traveling and just assumed it was connection issues. Today, I was at a good hotel and fully expected it should work… but it did not.

Had search the first day I had the problem, but didn’t find anything and didn’t want to post incase it was an issue. Finally today combed through and found this post.

Indeed, this solution worked great:

> mkdir tmp
> mv ~/library/Preferences/com.ansca* tmp
:wink:
