Hi guys, I’m getting the following error when trying to build:

Hi @donkonstante,

This is strange. What build number are you using? What version of OS X? Have you successfully built the particular app before? Please supply all of the necessary information you can think of (even some information that might seem unimportant), and we’ll try to figure this out.

Thanks,

Brent

Hi Brent, apparently my XCode got corrupted in the night. No clue how that happened… I just reinstalled it and it works again.

Hi Brent,

I’m having the same problem. I’m on OSX 10.8.4, Xcode 4.6.3 and Corona 2013.1137 with a Pro account. Please let me know if you need additional details and I’ll get back to you ASAP!

Hi Brent,

I found the error when building from Corona terminal, which I forgot to do when I found the problem. There was a lua error. Sorry for the false alarm.

In my case, I forgot “,” in one page lua. :) 

Buld = Error null

Open Corona Terminal to see where is error. 

#11

Make sure you don’t have errors in any of your .lua files including ones your app doesn’t use.  The build process compiles them all used or not and syntax errors will generate that screen.

I started getting this same (null) error after downloading the Xcode5 beta to update one of our client’s apps built in Xamarin. Just a few hours before, the code samples for vungle and iAds Corona implementation were working just fine. Now, I just get this null error, even after deleting Xcode5, reinstalling 4.6.3, and restarting.

#13

(sorry, that last post was me; was accidentally logged in to my test account)

 

Anyway, please confirm that your system knows it should be using 4.6.3 again. The system may not “pick up” that you want to revert to 4.6.3 just because you remove 5 Beta.

 

Best regards,

Hi Brent,

Where exactly do I set that? I looked at Corona Preferences and but did not see an area to designate the path to the current Xcode SDK location. 

#15

This is a command line command.  Run

xcode-select --print-path

If it doesn’t point to /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer then run this command:

sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer

#16

Thanks Rob,

I typed those into the Terminal, and the path seems to be correct now. Now it works for the most part, but occasionally I do get a new error:

A device build error occurred on the server. 

BuildID: 5237b26d50d7f 

Error: 

Any thoughts? It happens maybe half of the time I try to Build for Xcode Simulator

#17

Is there any more errors?  Can you open up the “Console” app and see if there are errors there from the Xcode simulator?
