warning: No -tsa or -tsacert is provided and this jar is not timestamped.

getting this strange message when compiling for android

warning: No -tsa or -tsacert is provided and this jar is not timestamped. 

???

Engineering says this isn’t an issue.  Somewhere after Java 7 u51, they added a warning when .jar files are made without a timestamp.  This serves a purpose to make sure the .jar file doesn’t expire even if the certificate does.  However Android converts jar files to dex files, so this is irrelevant.

thank you for ur answer !!

btw… do u know why the building process does need so long in this days

before i needed around 20 seconds, now i wait sometimes 3 minutes till the compiling is done?

my internet connection is good.!

Have you added in some plugins?

Rob

no not really something new since last update

seems ios is still fast… its android builts that needs so long now

Android is normally slower than iOS to build.  Times are also dependent on the plugins you are downloading.  For instance if you’re only using iAds on Apple and AdMob on Android, you have to download the huge Google Play plugin which also adds to the time.

Finally while you may have great Internet, that doesn’t mean that every connection between you and our servers is having a good day.   For instance, my home provider is 16 hops and 4 different providers before I get to the place where the servers are hosted.  I had a few timeouts on some of the intermediate routers due do congestion.
