Corona Build Server Down?

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

Hi, I am unable to complete an iOS build. It keeps getting timed out. Are the Corona build servers down?

I get the following console errors:

ERROR: XMLRPC: The request timed out.

ERROR: Build Failed: The request timed out.

Thanks

#2

Just got this error: ERROR: Unexpected empty response from build server

#3

If it helps I just added this  new plugin: 

 [“plugin.cardIO”] =

            {

                publisherId = “tech.scotth”,

                supportedPlatforms = { iphone=true, android=true }

            },

Could be the issue…

#4

So it seems as though the cardIO plugin is not supported in the Corona build that I am using. Is this something that can be fixed? I am using build 2016.2906

Hello I will answer the pm question here as well. First I want to say there is very little I can do on my side to fix this issue. I honestly did not test that far back. You are using a 7 month old build which I am guessing is to avoid the splash screens. My guess it that the card iO plugin is to big because it is around 300 mb. Before you freak out when you build with the sample app you should be getting around a 2 mb project. I am guessing the older builds cannot handle it, I will look into getting this smaller but I honestly don’t think I can get it as small as it needs to be for that build. Any ways here are your opinions

  1. Use a newer build(recommended)

  2. Try to submit a bug report(which probably won’t help much because they will probably recommend 1)

  3. Ask for a refund from the markplace staff( they only can do it)

Sorry if I sound a little cranky in this post I just woke up.

Hi Scott,

Thanks for your prompt response (and no prob about the crankiness  ;))

It is a bit upsetting to hear all that, because essentially, to use this plugin is now going to cost me $104, because if I upgrade builds I will definitely want to get rid of the splash screen. I don’t mind doing this later on down the track as using the latest version is always a good idea, but for now it doesn’t suit me. 

I guess I will have to submit a bug report, and if nothing gets resolved just get a refund. It’s a real pity because I really like the plugin, and I am sure you would make more sales if it were backward compatible, as I couldn’t be the only person in this position.

Thanks again, and hopefully we can get it resolved.

Just keep in mind you are not going get any of the new corona features like corona live builds, windows multitouch, mac video views, and bug fixes. You are also I saying it will cost 100$ just to use my plugin is not completely accurate. Also you are targeting an older iOS version.

#8

We cannot retro-fix previous builds so submitting a bug report won’t do any good. Apple has made sufficient changes, there is a pretty good chance you won’t be able to submit with 2906 any way.

What might be helpful is to see the entire log where the build failed.
