Hi All, 

Built my app using my dev profile on friday, worked fine, build today (monday) i get an error in the build, error is as follows…

2013-10-07 16:54:48.351 Corona Simulator[26101:707] CreateDictionary: item.value unexpectedly NULL for item.key ‘appPackage’

2013-10-07 16:54:49.588 Corona Simulator[26101:707] Connection error: (corona.build.6) fault(Missing required arguments.)

2013-10-07 16:54:49.588 Corona Simulator[26101:707] Connection error: (corona.build.6) ({

    “/FaultCode” = 1;

    “/FaultString” = “Missing required arguments.”;

    “/kWSHTTPResponseMessage” = “<CFHTTPMessageRef 0x11016a4f0(0x11016a500)> { parsed response, url = http://developer.coronalabs.com/services/xmlrpc, status = 200 }”;

    “/kWSResultIsFault” = 1;

})

Any ideas?

Hello @Tetchyfett,

Does this still occur, attempt after attempt? It may be just an isolated build server issue, but if not, we’ll have to explore further what’s causing it.

Thanks,

Hi, yes attempt after attempt, i wonder if its my certificates, but none have changed and they are all active… weird.

Hi @gazalc,

Can you give me the system and build details? For example:

– Build # of Corona SDK

– Your OS and OS version

– Device/OS you’re building for

Thanks,

Brent

Build –  Corona Version 2013.2087 (2013.07.15)

iOs – 7.0.4

Device – Iphone 5S

Hey guys, I’m getting this same error today. What did ya’ll end up doing?

#13

same here…was fine before today, built several times…universal ios app

Just returns a dialog with “(null)”

iMac 10.7.5

I had a NULL error returned yesterday after downloading new provisioning profiles in Xcode and trying to do a Corona iOS build. Once I restarted the Corona Simulator, the builds worked correctly. If you do make any iOS profile changes, be sure to restart Corona so it can pick up the changes.

This may not be the problem you’re seeing now but a good FYI. We are looking at our servers to see if anything shows up. I was able to do iOS builds here without any problems.

I have not changed my provisioning files, but thanks.

For fun I tried building on my windows box for android and it fails as well. This worked a few days back too…

#16

We looked at the error and it seems to be coming from an error in the project’s config.lua code. As a test, if  you’re having the NULL error, can you try building the HelloWorld sample app. If that builds without error, double check the config.lua file and make sure the syntax is correct and there are no errors. You might want to check the build.settings file if the config.lua file looks ok.

Thanks,

Tom

Tom,

Thanks, the HelloWorld built fine. I checked both my config.lua and build.xml and they were unchanged (in source control)…well it ended up being a typo in one of my game source files…sigh.  Thank goodness for source control diff. I have been trying out the corona editor with emacs and it looks like one of my command keystrokes made it into the game file.  Thanks so much!!!

I am surprised the compiler didn’t give me a file / line number error but such is life.

Sorry for the false alarm, thank you for the help.
