Building for Android (distribution) crashes Corona Simulator

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

I’ve tried build 644 and 652, and I get the same results. I’m selecting my private keystore, then when it starts trying to build, it shows me the Corona Simulator main menu for a second, then it crashes.

Building for android using the androiddebugkey works fine. Also, building for iOS works fine. The only problem seems to be when building for android and signing it for distribution.

Here’s an excerpt of the crash log:

Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS)
Exception Codes: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE at 0x0000000000000008

Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I’m trying to ready my app for submission to the android market.

I probably should have mentioned for completeness – I’m on a 2011 13" MacBook Air 1.7 Ghz with 4gb ram, running OS X Lion 10.7.2.

I had a similar problem with Lion on my mac mini.
After uninstalling the latest version I decided to install the stable one. But no luck there.
The error still was coming up. In my case I had to uninstall the stable, reboot my mac and finally re-install the latest version (644 I think). It worked for me.
I’m just guessing this could help you, although I don’t really know what fixed it after all.

I tried your solution, but it didn’t work for me. :frowning:

I just tested something else – i built the ShapeTumbler sample project for android distribution and it worked fine! So now this is blowing my mind.

When it crashed this last time, I looked in the Corona terminal and saw this:

Invalid memory access of location 0x8 eip=0xc295
/Applications/CoronaSDK/simulator: line 9: 520 Bus error: 10 “$path/Corona Simulator.app/Contents/MacOS/Corona Simulator” $*

I’m not sure that’s helpful to anyone, but I’m at a loss. I’ve examined my build and config settings and there is really nothing out of the ordinary:

-- config.lua  
  
application =  
{  
 content =  
 {  
 width = 320,  
 height = 480,  
 scale = "letterbox",  
 audioPlayFrequency = 22050,  
 imageSuffix =  
 {  
 ["@1.5"] = 1.5,  
 ["@2"] = 1.8,  
 }  
 }  
}  
  
-- build.settings  
  
settings =   
{  
 orientation =  
 {  
 default = "landscapeRight",  
 supported =  
 {  
 "landscapeLeft", "landscapeRight"  
 }  
 },  
 iphone =  
 {  
 plist =  
 {  
 CFBundleIconFile = "Icon.png",  
 CFBundleIconFiles = {  
 "Icon.png" ,   
 "Icon@2x.png" ,   
 "Icon-72.png" ,   
 },  
 }  
 }  
}

And again – building for android using the debug key is working fine. Anybody have any other ideas what’s going on?

Well – I haven’t done anything today except cracked open my MacBook Air, and it let me build for distribution. I suspect there must have been a problem on the ansca side of things? At any rate, I’m happy it’s corrected!
