Failed downloading Plugin

Hi,

On Corona 2019.3540

I am frequently facing this problem, where by android build fails with random plugin-download errors. It will successfully build 1 out of >10 times. Tested on Windows and Mac with the same problem. When it manages to build successfully, then it will continue to be successful in subsequent builds.

Sample error :

21:03:16.210 ERROR: There was a problem downloading plugin 'shared.android.support.v4\_com.coronalabs'. Please, try again. 21:07:30.471 ERROR: unable to fetch plugin download location for plugin.calendar (com.coronalabs). Error message: \ Oct 26 09:16:58.192 ERROR: configuring 'plugin.facebook.v4a\_com.coronalabs' failed!

Is anyone facing this issue ?

I also face the same issue but I try again, and it works. Though, sometimes after two tries.

Just retry, it will eventually work. Our system administrators are looking into the issue. We just haven’t had any luck finding the cause.

It works now on Windows (Android build), but still fails on Mac with a facebook error (build fails on Android, but successful on iOS build). I rechecked the docs @ https://docs.coronalabs.com/plugin/facebook-v4a/index.html and my build.settings are correct. I even tried to build on the sample code (and adding facebook4a plugin in it, and it also fails with the same error). Part of my build.settings below :

 android = { facebookAppId = "7363227965366XX", -- last 2 digits masked with XX .......  

Below is a more detailed error log on Mac. The folder ‘/private/var/folders/_2/xqg4j0112l1d0gwl9xtxrkhr0000gn/T/CLtmpSO620F/template/app/build/corona-plugins’ could not be found on my Mac using Finder.

Pls advise. Thanks

This is a known issue. But it’s sporadic and we can’t find the cause. Basically the facebook ID is 14 digits long and somewhere on some machine it’s truncating a couple of digits like it’s getting converted to a number some where. But it doesn’t happen to everyone. We’ve checked to see if its which build server you’re using and we can’t find a difference. 

So keep trying it should eventually build.
