is Appcelerator having MAJOR server problems today???

I am constantly getting the "Aw Shucks Page". This seems to also be affecting my app builds…

If I hit refresh a few times I can get the page to load. I can also eventually test my app if I Stop/Launch the emulator a few times but this is very annoying!

Is anyone else having this problem?

  • David, yes, I have also noticed that it is unreliable today. I have tweeted Jeff and Marshall a while ago. Don just let me know that he is chasing the department responsible. I'll let you know if I hear anything more.

  • The intermittent problems seem to be resolved now. Is anyone else still having any issues?

    • Maybe something to do with the tracking functionality? The servers have been all over the place today

  • I sure hope the reports of apps crashing have nothing to do with the server downtime. Having an explicit requirement on Appcelerator servers being up to launch an iPhone app is quite troubling… Any chance APpcelerator can comment.

    • I'm looking forward to a comment as well? Surely this isnt the case for ANY app developed on the platform is it?

  • My app was also crashing during this time, because of the Titanium.Geolocation.reverseGeocoder() method.

    I've removed it, to use a Google map API call, and no more crash.

    • No problemo :

      var xhr = Ti.Network.createHTTPClient();
      xhr.setTimeout(30000);
      
      xhr.onload = function() {
          if (this.responseText) {
              //Ti.API.info(this.responseText);
              var responseJson = JSON.parse(this.responseText);
              if (responseJson) {
                  var status = responseJson.status;
                  if (status == 'OK') {
                      var result = responseJson.results;
                      if (result.length) {
                          for (var i in result) {
                              var thisResult = result[i];
                              if (thisResult.types && thisResult.types.length) {
                                  thisIsItBaby = thisResult.formatted_address;
                                  break;
                              }
                          }
                      }
                  }
              }
          }
      };
      
      xhr.onerror = function(e) {
      };
      
      xhr.open('GET', 'http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?sensor=true&latlng=' + latitude + ',' + longitude);
      xhr.send();

    • Oops… Will use Pastie next time…

  • It never even crossed my mind that a published app could crash if the appcelerator servers were having problems. This is a HUGE drawback!!!!

    It would be in their best interest for someone from Appcelerator to jump in here and comment on this issue and perhaps communicate a possible solution.
