Huh, I'm not sure if it was RC4 or reinstalling the SDK, but that Roaming error's gone. Now I'm not so worried about picking up the Android extension, heh.

[Hitomi]

Just wanted to chime in on this thread saying that I was having the same problem, and all of the suggestions here weren't working. So I just went to the build.xml file, and the line that was giving me the error was:

storepass="${key.store.password}"


So I simply removed the variable and manually added my password and voila! It worked!

I had a heck of a time finaly getting past the jarsigning problem.

Finaly, I determined that re-generating the keystore file was NOT replacing the existing keystore.

Browse to the location of your Private Keystore File, the location is in the Android Tab of preferences and will be something like, C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\GameMaker-Studio\AndroidKeystore.keystore and delete it, then regenerate a new keystore file.

You, sir, are my savior!!!

[GameMakinRyan]

I've tried all of the above, and it still won't compile - I'm getting this nonsense here:

BUILD FAILED
C:\Android\android-sdk\tools\ant\build.xml:470: Unable to resolve target 'Google Inc.:Google APIs:8'

Total time: 5 seconds
jarsigner: unable to open jar file: C:\Documents and Settings\Ryan\Local Settings\Temp\gm_ttt_23002\gm_ttt_19463\bin\RunnerActivity-release.apk
Unable to open 'C:\Documents and Settings\Ryan\Local Settings\Temp\gm_ttt_23002\gm_ttt_19463\bin\RunnerActivity-release.apk' as zip archive

Any ideas on what the issue might be? I followed every single step on the YoyoGames page on how to set up for Android, all of my SDK, JDK, and Keystore info is correct, the passwords are the same for the keystore, I tried generating it, checking everything, then running the JarSigner.exe and I'm still getting this error.

One thing that helped in my case was actually removing the keystore files from disk, and regenerating one via GM's dialog. Once I did that, I didn't have any more problems. I'm sure this will only help with the issues involving jarsigner returning -1, not with the SDK targets not being found.

[yvesnadjarian]

Yeah, I'm having problems too. I got this:

BUILD FAILED
c:\Android\android-sdk\tools\ant\build.xml:470: Unable to resolve target 'Google Inc.:Google APIs:8'

I was having this one too.
Here what it solved to me:

Unistall SDK... then installed only APIs 7, 8 and 11
Just the> SDK Platform and Google APIs

And ready to go
Hope I helped

yes this is a very important part: delete all keystore files before generate a new one....this works for me..i had the same problem....maybe this is a bug of gm

Hi,


Had you resolve your pb ?


I had the same, and to resolded it, i had do that :
- Go to you android-sdk directory

- Lauch SDK Manager.exe

- In SDK Manager, in Android 2.2 (API 8) section, check Goolgle APIs

- Click on Install 1 package button !


That's all !

I can confirm that on a new setup the directions above worked perfectly and got GMS creating APKs for me. Thanks for posting the tip.

[jackietuan]

I had a similar problem with the "Build Failure" and non of the above solutions worked for me. But I managed to get mine working by accident and here is what I did.

1) Before generating my keystore, just as the guide above, with the 2 passwords being the same. I also ticked "Always do full install of APK"
2) Went to "Global Game Settings"
3) Select "Android" tab
4) Within "Android" tab, go to "Graphics" tab
4) Within "Graphics" tab I selected "Any device supported". I left everything else as they were.

And for some reasons, this worked for me.

Hope this helps.

[hobbitbabes]

i also regularly have this problem and what works for me is for me to got to program files/java/java jdk/bin and then double click and run jarsigner then restart game maker studio and it works for me..

I had a heck of a time finaly getting past the jarsigning problem.

Finaly, I determined that re-generating the keystore file was NOT replacing the existing keystore.

Browse to the location of your Private Keystore File, the location is in the Android Tab of preferences and will be something like, C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\GameMaker-Studio\AndroidKeystore.keystore and delete it, then regenerate a new keystore file.

that did it for me. Grr...that along with reinstalling, reupdating, generating it the way told....and then saving it to the project folder.... grrr... what a frustration!

Here is where it says the error has been, like the line of code on the build.xml file...

<do-only-if-not-library elseText="Library project: do not create apk..." >
            <sequential>
                <property name="out.unaligned.file" location="${out.absolute.dir}/${ant.project.name}-release-unaligned.apk" />

                <!-- Signs the APK -->
                <echo>Signing final apk...</echo>
                <signjar
                        jar="${out.packaged.file}"
                        signedjar="${out.unaligned.file}"
                        keystore="${key.store}"
                        storepass="${key.store.password}"
                        alias="${key.alias}"
                        keypass="${key.alias.password}"
                        verbose="${verbose}" />

Could you please edit the build file and email it to me at playgames2011@live.co.uk, help would be appreciated

[proon]

After the latest update when i build my apk this appears in the build:

[javac] Note: Some input files use or override a deprecated API.
[javac] Note: Recompile with -Xlint:deprecation for details.
[javac] Note: C:\Users\Tiago\AppData\Local\Temp\gm_ttt_7722\gm_ttt_21916\src\com\massivehamsterstudios\arnie\Gamepad\Gamepad.java uses unchecked or unsafe operations.
[javac] Note: Recompile with -Xlint:unchecked for details.

Then it says build succefully and the apk has only 4mbs (it's 18mbs) and when i run it a black screen appears and returns to the home screen

[G-Games]

Decided to come back to this topic because I also have a problem (never seen this one before though):

Anyone any ideas on how to solve this?

[sebastiankit]

Update Game Maker.

I have poured over this thread(it appears to be the only online resource even close to this issue), and have tried every theory.

 

I have brand new downloads/installs of the Android MIPS Edition(v1.1.747), JDK(1.7.0_17), and SDK with all API's installed(only installed the ones that were asked for at first, filled in the rest later). As I said, every previously mentioned theory/fix has been tried.

 

There is a 1-2 minute wait between the [javac] Notes and BUILD FAILED

[G-Games]

The solution is the GoogleAdMobAdsSdk-6.1.0.jar file which seems to be gone once I've updated. Reinstall + NOT updating fixed it for me. So, if you find that file, everything should be working again.

[Armalitus]

GoogleAdMobAdsSdk-6.1.0.jar is the only file in the directory, and GameMaker won't create an APK without one.

 

I have replaced it with GoogleAdMobAdsSdk-6.3.1 from my Andoid SDK folder. I still recieve the same error:

////I will now attempt to try this "fix" in conjunction with all of the other "fixes" I've tried in this thread.

[Armalitus]

After "downgrading" from beta to stable, the APK build worked. I had forgotten that it was even a variable.

 

Now running GoogleAdMobAdsSdk-6.2.1
