If you are using google play services plugin , just remove it & try to build or else you can update corona sdk version & use it.

if possible share your build.settings & lib you require for IAP.

There seems to be a lot of moving parts with this post. Let’s slow down and address one thing at a time.

Please remove this block from your build.settings:

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; ["plugin.google.play.services"] = &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;{ &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; publisherId = "com.coronalabs", &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;supportedPlatforms = { android=true } &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;},

Then try and build your app. Copy/Paste the build error exactly as it appears. Please do this with 3012.

Thanks

Rob

Try updating to daily build 3007 or later and see if that changes anything?

Also try building “HelloWorld” sample app.

Rob

sky256 · January 10, 2017, 1:14am

“Hello world” was built with no issues.

Switching to version 3007 didn’t change anything.

sky256 · January 10, 2017, 1:19am

I have just tried to remove appodeal plugin from my build.settings file, and it has helped. I have build my project with no issues.

Is it something wrong with appodeal plugin on Corona’s side?

rob · January 10, 2017, 2:00am

The appodeal plugin is very large. If you’re on a weak network connection, it can take too long to download.

Rob

sky256 · January 10, 2017, 2:14am

My network connection is fast enough ( i could download corona sdk in couple of minutes) and don’t think it is a problem. Also, I build for ios without any delays.

There are a couple of reports of build failures around Appodeal. Can you try commenting that out and see if it changes things?

Also when you wait “waited 45 minutes” are you saying you wanted that amount of time between build attempts or you hit the build button and after 45 minutes it gave you a build error or after 45 minutes you stopped the build?

Thanks!

Rob

sky256 · January 11, 2017, 6:56am

I meant “after 45 min i stopped the build”. Sorry, if i wasn’t clear.

Suddenly, today I have built my project without any problems. I have no idea what happened. I did change nothing in my “build.settings” file.

Many thanks to assif_tiger, Rob for your help!

ERROR: Build Failed: A device build error occurred on the server.

I’ve got the same issue, I think. So… what was the solution??

sky256 · January 13, 2017, 10:47am

I find out that my internet connection could be the source of problems with building process. I couldn’t build for android at home, moved my laptop to the nearest starbucks and built with no issues. I still have no idea what connection preferences I have to change to be able to build from home.

vladoz260 · January 13, 2017, 10:53am

Hm! So, did you keep the “plugin.appodeal… blah blah blah” string in your build.settings?

sky256 · January 13, 2017, 10:55am

Yes, I did change nothing in my build.settings

Supertapp · January 13, 2017, 11:17am

Missed this thread, same thing going on over here: https://forums.coronalabs.com/topic/67350-android-server-build-failed/

For me its including Kidoz or Supersonic or Google Play Services that breaks it.

rob · January 13, 2017, 4:54pm

Hey everyone. This thread is getting unmanageable and I seriously could use your help to keep things straight.

There are two types of build errors:

Happens all the time, can’t build at all.
Happens from time to time.

I really need these separated out. Then I need to know:

What build of Corona SDK are you using.
What platform are you building on (Windows, macOS)
What plugins are you using.
Are you building for iOS or Android when it fails (or is it failing for both)
Can you build HelloWorld successfully for the platform it’s failing for?
Can you post the complete error message from the Corona Console log (Copy/Paste please, no screen shots).
Can you try to use a different network connection?
What is your IP address. If you don’t know: http://www.whatsmyip.org/ or http://whatismyipaddress.com/ (one was giving me an IPv4 address the other an IPv6).

I’m trying to avoid asking for build.settings files because they can be massive, I may come back on a case by case basis and ask for it.

Thanks

Rob
