Stuck on Connecting to Server for sample app ios device build for trial account.

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

I’ve extensively searched for this specific issue but have not found the exact problem. Some were close and helpful but did not solve the entire issue.

I downloaded the trial version of Corona, opened a sample app in the simulator(works in simulator), tried building for ios/device or xcode with a developer id. After pressing build there is the 30 second delay then it starts to connect to the server. It just sits on ‘connecting to server’.

The console print out had some other errors but they were fixed by pointing the xcode-select to the correct path.

Current console print out after that fix:

my provisions are in /user/(username)/library/MobileDevices/Provisioning Profile

my certificate in keychain are valid, xcode organizer has the correct profiles.

There was a great deal of forum posts about the build.settings causing this issue but this is a sample app.

I have never got a build to work. Today was my first attempt. I have built apps for devices using the same provisioning profiles but it was through xcode in ios sdk.

As I mentioned above, I set the sudo xcode-select to the correct path and that cleared up some error in the console.

I have reinstalled corona and had to put my email/password in a few times.

I could try using an older build but I only have a trial account.

I initially had that problem and still do at times. Have you went to the top and below build hit relaunch? That has fixed my problem each time [import]uid: 69302 topic_id: 29683 reply_id: 119166[/import]

#3

I just tried that. It only relaunches the simulator and doesn’t change the connecting with server status. [import]uid: 170087 topic_id: 29683 reply_id: 119235[/import]

#4

That’s weird because that is all I did before I purchased it. I know that the building does take longer when you are just testing. Try one more thing. Close out the simulator and hit build again a open your file and see if that works. [import]uid: 69302 topic_id: 29683 reply_id: 119239[/import]

#5

I can’t really follow this. If I close the simulator I don’t have an option to build. It’s just like starting over. [import]uid: 170087 topic_id: 29683 reply_id: 119262[/import]

#6

So are you saying that you do not already have a build folder with all your files in it? Because if you do you can close the simulator and select build and select your folder and whatever you have there will open up the same. [import]uid: 69302 topic_id: 29683 reply_id: 119267[/import]

#7

I am building a sample app that came with corona simulator. Physics->bridge to be exact. So all the files are in that folder. If I close the simulator there is no option to build because that closes corona.

I open Corona simulator, pick a sample app from the start up screen, it opens in the simulator, then I go to file->build->ios and fill in the build info and click build. This is the only way I know to build an app in corona. [import]uid: 170087 topic_id: 29683 reply_id: 119273[/import]

#8

nothing here [import]uid: 170087 topic_id: 29683 reply_id: 119274[/import]

#9

If you are using the files that came with corona it should be downloaded on your computer. You would just have to open the folder that has those files once you go to build again. [import]uid: 69302 topic_id: 29683 reply_id: 119276[/import]

#10

I resolved it. I just needed to refresh my xcode organizer. The app built fine after that. Thanks for your time. [import]uid: 170087 topic_id: 29683 reply_id: 119280[/import]
