Hi All
Man I hate being a newbie 
Have written a small app for testing; works well on the simulator on MY PC and Mac doing my first build to test on ipad and submitted the build but its been sitting there for about 20 minutes saying it is performing the build is that normal? I cant quit and start again, I am using the trial version of Corona before I commit to purchase.
Have been trying a few different platforms and Corona was looking good until I started the build…any ideas?
Peter
And I cant quit Corona and cant restart the Mac cause Corona wont let it anyone got any suggestions on how to proceed?
Pull the plug from the wall? 
Never seen something like this but I think sometimes build servers might have maintenance or something for brief moments during the weekend low times. Perhaps you caught a bad moment. Suggest killing the process using Activity Monitor on your Mac, doing a full Restart and then trying again. Good luck.
Thanks Ksan I will try it, I just bought the Mac to do some IOS development…I thought we didn’t have to pull the plaug on Macs
Stopped the task and restated the Mac and tried again still hangs during the build phase, is there a log anywhere I can look at? I cant build for the xcode sim but the app runs fine in the Corona sim.
I guess I better go re-read the docs again I have tried quite a few platforms over the last couple of weeks to find one that actually works and its frustrating as all the platforms seem to fall over during the building phase even when you follow the instructions as closely as possible.
Just ran a build to see if the servers are down or something. It went fine. I am afraid something is not quite right on your end. Maybe a reinstall?
OK I will try the re-install next but its brand new mac and the install seemed to work fine.
The provisioning docs talk about moving the provisioning profile to /Users/(your user)/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles/ and that’s about the only step I cant seem to do but I can see a valid provisioning profile…
just checked the provisioning profiles via the terminal window and it is there…
I think I am going to have to admit defeat and move along to the next platform, I have been programming PCs for 20+ years and consider myself adept at many languages including c++ I am rather sad actually as I was very excited to get into iOS and Android programming. I have worked through all the troubleshooting suggestions in the docs including checking file names and file locations ensuring provisioning is correct and double checked and triple checked all my certificates.
I even went and bought a brand new Macmini to do the builds on for Corona and to get up to speed with the Mac OS. The only SDK I have been able to get working is DragonFire SDK it took all of 5 minutes and I had an app running on my Iphone for testing. Unfortunately the API is pretty primitive and you cant do some of the more advanced sockets programming.
If anyone could offer any advice or tips I would appreciate it, I know I am not the sharpest tool in the shed but I am not the dullest either!
Kindest Regards
Peter
FYI I just tried building the Clock Sample App and that hangs during the build process, I cant be the only one having issues??? Can I?
Its soooo frustrating, no one has had this issue before? I just DE authorised both machines I am using and it still sits there during the build just telling me its Performing Build but nothing every happens
What am I missing? Help!
You should be able todo OPTION-COMMAND-Escape and bring up a list of running apps and kill non-responding apps.
I’m not sure why it hung. Builds should be under a minute or so in most cases.
Can you build on your PC?
Thanks for the reply Ksan, I haven’t tried building on the PC for Android as I need it working on iOS first…
Thanks for the reply Rob, can you see anything from your side? Where can I look for an error message or a log?
Hi @pk6. I can’t see anything on my side. Only certain engineers have access to that data. If you’re on a Mac you should be starting Corona using the “corona-terminal” app in /Applications/CoronaSDK. This will open a terminal window, which then starts up Corona SDK. Messages from Corona end up in that terminal window.
Ok thanks Rob, I will try that.
I just purchased Corona thinking that the latest build might solve the problem but it didn’t 
I opened the terminal window during the build and it still hangs but here is the terminal window output:

I cant see any obvious error message but hopefully someone else can?

Before I send this to the engineers, what version of OS-X is this happening on and what version of XCode do you have installed?
Also does this happen if you try and build one of our Sample apps?
