Android build fails with Release mode

Bugs
1

When I do Android build with use of Release mode it fails with error “Unable to budle applicationg. Reason: Errors occured during the build” and below exception. Happens for different projects (including Defold tutorial ones). No issue when release mode is disabled.

Any idea?

Platform: Ubuntu 64 bit
Defold: 1.2.85

Exception:

Thx for reporting this! We seem to be missing that executable in our 64bit Linux editor! We’ll add a ticket for this tomorrow. Until we have a fix, as you say, the workaround is to use the non release mode.

ok. thx.

I’m having some issue with payments on android (failing saying that I need to authenticate to google store). I guess this is because of non-release mode.

Can you tell me if release fixing this is a matter of days or rather weeks? If second, it’s no issue but then I will setup editor on some 32-bit linux and build it there.

I’d say it will take at least two weeks, since we’re about to release a new version this week (we’re in beta phase now), and that fix won’t make it in time I’m afraid.

I hope I’ll have time to look into this today or tomorrow, though I can’t make any promises. If I get to it, I’ll make sure to post a temporary solution here.

@jakob.pogulis - don’t worry. no need :slight_smile: looks like I’m the first person stuck on this, so the only one so far. I will build it on 32bit Linux or Windows. Just wanted to know estimation, so I can plan my actions.

It is also not urgent for me… I do it for training here
