Icon build error

thatssopanda · June 1, 2018, 2:04pm

Hello!

When I build my simple guide app using Version 2017.3184 (2017.12.8), I’m getting the following errors. Any idea what could be causing this? I thought I had all required icons, but maybe not!

What happens if you try and build one of our sample apps?

Have you tried copying the Images.xassets folder from one of these sample apps to yours and just replaced the PNG files?

Can you share your build.settings?

Hello Rob!

I created a new project using the tabbed project, made no changes, and received the same error. This time, I did notice that I’m getting an iOS SDK mismatch in the console. I’ve copied the console error along with build.settings below.

So let me re-ask you this: Have you tried building a sample app like HelloWorld, not create a new project.

If you have installed Xcode 9.4, you will need to install daily build 3307 or later to get rid of that warning.

I suspect this is the source of the problem:

all = { "Icon.png", "Icon-\*dpi.png", "Images.xcassets", },

I’m not sure why we are saying to exclude Images.xcassets file for all devices. I suspect that should be on the android line.

Also, do you still have the icon error with the blank project?

jacques1 · June 5, 2018, 5:54am

I was initially getting a similar build succeeded/build failed ERROR: with exit code 255 and output: ERROR: while compiling icons:.

I’m using Mac OS (10.13.5 high sierra), corona build 3308, xcode 9.4, IOS SDK set to 11.4 when building, after build set to ‘do nothing’.

The error I got, first it indicated the ‘build succeeded.’ followed by the assets error that ‘thatsopanda’ posted.

However, after I opened up xcode (as i wanted to confirm the version), xcode asked to install some additional components, and after that installed, I rebuilt the app using corona and it built fine without any errors.

I also made sure to remove the old .ipa and .dsym files from my build folder before rebuilding with corona.

I notice if you leave the files in your build folder and rebuild then corona does not go through the whole process of adding/deflating assets nor re-compiling the xcode assets catalog. However, most likely it seems that whatever components xcode installed in itself seemed to be the fix.

So perhaps ‘thatsopanda’ can retry with any of the above.

note: I also notice that the time when I got the icon assets error my .ipa was 92.8MB, when xcode did its additional component install and I rebuilt the app and it built fine, the .ipa had become only 82.8MB?

@rob My brain read that as “build a blank project”. I tried opening up the sample app, Hello World, and I still received the same issue. I’m copy/pasting the console output below. Please note, I did try upgrading to 2018.3308 per jacques1 suggestion.

Did you run Xcode and let it finish installing?

thatssopanda · June 5, 2018, 6:23pm

*slams head on desk*

All I had to do was open up xcode and allow it to self-update. If anyone else is running into this issue, just update xcode! Thank you to everyone who replied here to help me out!

mr.coxall · June 19, 2018, 1:25am

I have updated Xcode, I have downloaded the latest daily build of Corona (3319) and I am still getting the “ERROR: while compiling icons” error.

Any suggestions?

rob · June 19, 2018, 2:53pm

@mr.coxall, have you actually run Xcode after updating it?

Rob

bbk · July 2, 2018, 8:54am

I am really happy that there is such a good support for Corona SDK.

It saves me a lot of time !

This fixed it for me too. Thanks for the help! Rob is Miracle. :)
