server build error

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

I’m preparing my app for Amazon store but I keep getting error message from server.

I can build fine by selecting Google Play as Target App Store but I get error msg when I select Amazon.

What am I doing wrong? Is there problem with server?

#2

What version of Corona are you running?

What is the error message?

What messages are in your console log?

#3

I’m using corona version 1202 and the error message I’m getting is following

ERROR: An error occurred during build. The server returned the following message:

A device build error occurred on the server. 

BuildID: 525c7cb9a8338 

Error: 

I didn’t put private key because my client says they need the build unsigned in order to submit it to Amazon store.

could that be the reason?

#4

I received private key from my client and I’m still getting build error.

#5

Ok. I think I know what the problem is. 

My app name includes “&” in it and when I changed it something else for heck of it, it had no problem building it. 

Is “&” not allowed for Amazon store?

#6

I solved this issue by using & instead of just & in application name. 

I don’t know why server wouldn’t take & alone but it built the app and once it’s built I just removed amp;

#7

Glad you found it.  It’s not so much that Amazon won’t allow it, it’s probably an issue with Android not allowing it.  The Android manifest is an XML file and things like &'s break XML.
