1.3.3 build (so pre-release) not building zip for submission

Hi all,

I downloaded the latest continuous build and it seems to work for me in the simulator, installing onto my development devices but doesn't build the zip at the end of building for distribution.

I know this is pre-release software, but maybe this will help the dev team.

Basically, looking at my build.log

** BUILD SUCCEEDED **

+ Looking for application binary at /Users...

Writing archive plist to: /Users...

{'CFBundleIdentifier': 'com....

Finishing build

And then no .zip file is made.

The issue is also noted here in one of the comments on a comment:

I shortened the log lines above but would be happy to send whatever is helpful to anyone at appcelerator.

Hope this is helpful info.

Steve

  • Turns out, this is how 1.4 works:

    • Thanks Daniel. Is that the latest build from here: http://builds.appcelerator.com.s3.amazonaws.com/index.html

      I'd believe I was doing something wrong, but I just don't know what. Have successfully made many apps before…

  • I've notice that too, guess it depends which build of 1.3.3 you're using for whether it creates the zip file or not. The build I tried a week and a half ago would not create the zip so to get an app update out I ended up just switching to 1.3.2.

    Thought I read something about some changes needing to be made to how apps are compiled to conform with some recent Apple changes, but I don't remember the specifics now. Try grabbing a new build out of git, it seems to be working okay now.

    • Thanks for the input Dan - Here's a little more info. I was trying with a build from 9am (eastern) this morning. I also just tried with the latest (4:45 pm eastern) and got the same result.

      Also, as to what happens: The build happens, takes a minute or two, then the Mac switches focus to Xcode like it's going to do something. Then the process is over and no app .zip file.

    • Steve, when all thing failed. I would clear Xcode cache, and restart machine. There's a lot users complained about that on native build xcode compilation, it's the Xcode thing not 3rd compiler btw.

    • hmmm cleared and restarted - no luck there…

  • Hi Steve, i really hate this Community Q&A thing, it doesn't email you if someone reply as comment. So i will just post a new reply… LOL. TI Should not have killed the old Forum support, this Q&A thing is the worst community system, ever!

    Anyway,

    I grabbed mine from here, it marked 2 weeks ago, a much older build.

  • Daniel - Unfortunately I need to use a newer build. It looks like some changes in more recent builds on github are to address issues Apple had when people submitted apps.

    But thanks for that link anyway.

  • You are right, i just drop in latest build and it's not creating the production zip file. Drop back to the older 1.3.3 that i got, it does.

    Here's the end of the log file to one that created the zip

    BUILD SUCCEEDED
