Communication with Ansca severs exchange a time stamp with the Corona program. The system time of the server and local machine (the one running Corona SDK) must be within a few minutes of each other (after converted to UTC time) in order for proper communication to occur.
In order for this to work, the local machine must be set to the proper time with the time zone set correctly. By default, the machine will be synced to “Internet Time.”
The "time sync"error message will occur if the local clock has drifted beyond the time tolerance or if the user has manually changed the system time and it is no longer synced with Internet Time (or hasn’t synced in a while).
Here is an easy method to update a Windows 7 clock:
- Left click on the clock in the Windows task bar (bottom right corner).
- Click on the “Change date and time settings” link.
- Select the “Internet Time” tab.
- Click the “Change settings” button.
- Check the “Synchronize with an Internet time server” checkbox, if not done
already.
- Click the “Update now” button.
- Wait for a message stating that “The clock was successfully
synchronized…”.
