I’ve been working with Corona for about a month now, and I’m curious why (when I build my application for a device) your servers get contacted?
Thank you. [import]uid: 10211 topic_id: 18177 reply_id: 318177[/import]
Basically so there is no fraud going on. If you didn’t need to contact their servers, everyone would get hacked clients which would mean that everyone can build for their devices for free without a subscription. It’s a way of protecting Ansca and a way of protecting us.

I was under the impression that Ansca’s servers don’t just “authenticate” your client and allow a build to occur, they actually do the building and deliver the resulting ipa/apk.

Yeah they build the files on their servers as well. They need to do that in order to control their product.

Just to confirm what has already been said (thanks Jordan), when you do a device build (or even an Xcode build), everything gets built on our servers and you’re sent the final app.
This is why the only thing you really only need to USE Xcode for is getting the app on your device (for iOS), though you can always go through iTunes (in which case you’d never have to open Xcode). [import]uid: 52430 topic_id: 18177 reply_id: 69490[/import]
