Error when creating Android standalone | DESPERATION!

[panagiotis merakos]

Hello Klaus,

Have you reached the point where it asks you for your alias and keystore
passwords? Or is the error thrown before reaching this point?

Here is what you can do that _might_ provide some more information.

Open the message box and type:

put true into gRevDevelopment

This will cause any breakpoints in the IDE stacks to be respected. Now time
to add a breakpoint and see what happens line by line and where it fails.
Type in the message box:

edit the script of stack "revSaveAsAndroidStandalone"

This will open the script editor at the script of this stack. Now scroll
down to line 1389 and add a breakpoint at the beginning of this block:

if the result begins with "jarsigner error" then
    throw "signing failed -" && word 4 to -1 of the result
else if the result begins with "jarsigner: Certificate chain not found" then
    throw "signing failed -" && word 2 to -1 of the result
else if (the result begins with "jarsigner: key associated with") and (line
1 of the result ends with "not a private key") then
    throw "signing failed - key password was incorrect or" && word 2 to -1
of the result
end if

Now build an Android standalone - this breakpoint should be hit. If not,
try putting the breakpoint sooner in the handler. Once the breakpoint is
hit, step over line by line to see where it fails, and what is the value of
the various variables at this point.

Also, may I ask why your deadline is the 1st of November? If the issue is
the 16KB page size requirement, note that your app will NOT be removed if
you don't meet it. What this deadline means is that any new app or app
update that is submitted *after* the 1st of November must meet this
requirement. However, we will release a new version that supports this on
tsNet and PDF widget (since only these 2 components are affected now)
before the deadline anyway.

Hope this helps
Panos
