I got this weird bug when using CoronaBuilder on 3594 trying to build for Android. Here’s the full output.

$ /Applications/Corona-3594/Native/Corona/mac/bin/CoronaBuilder.app/Contents/MacOS/CoronaBuilder build --lua /my_path/build_args_android.lua

Does the sample projects build properly ? If not try checking “java -version”

#3

Nope, I’ve tried sample ones too.

java -versions yields

openjdk version "14.0.1" 2020-04-14
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 14.0.1+7)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 14.0.1+7, mixed mode, sharing)

And my app builds just fine when I build from the simulator

#4

I have the same problem.
@ joecoronasdk How did you fix it?

#5

Solar2D and Android sdk only supports java8

#6

I’m not sure if this is the Java you’re saying. I run java -version and this is the output below
java version “1.8.0_261”
Java™ SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_261-b12)
Java HotSpot™ 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.261-b12, mixed mode)

#7

@vlads After I upgraded to Java 8, I still get the same error.

#8

Does build works fine with Corona Simulator but fails with the CoronaBuilder?

#9

Corona Simulator works fine.
Corona Builder is giving me the error below.

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

For anyone who has this issue in the future:

I run these two apps below to accidentally fix the problem.

  1. Setup Corona Native.app
  2. Setup Corona Enterprise.app
#11

Thanks for letting me know. Shouldn’t be hard to fix it for builder.

#12

Any updates on this ?

Edit: The workaround is good enough for me. Thanks.

#13

What the issue? It seems like problems were solved by installing java8 and/or running setup corona native app.
