iOS Question issues with b4i

[ilan]

i have big issues with b4i lately.

an app that should take 2-3 days takes me more than 3 weeks.
sometimes the app runs well and sometimes it doesn't.

sometimes i get an error that a file does not exist even if it does and sometimes i get other weird errors that doesn't tell me much. this is really frustrating.

i have upgraded to b4i 4.8 beta hoping the problem will be solved but no luck

i don't know what is the problem now i am getting that msg:

i tried to clean the mac builder folder and rebuild again but no luck.

i remember that in the past the errors gave a clue about the issue but lately it's hard or almost not understandable in what line the error happens or what is the problem.

In such cases helps only the one, uninstall App and then compile again.
I often have something like that.

This can perhaps say only Erel.

This specific error is related to the virtual assets file feature. For some reason the state of the stored files became corrupted. The solution is indeed to uninstall the existing app, clean the project (ctrl + p) and run again.

Check the files folder. Are there many large files? Does it happen on the simulator or a real device?

Hi erel, there are no big file in the assests folder and it happens on both simulator and real device. Uninstall the app does solve the problem it just happen often latley.

If i update file in the assets folder it happens.

The problem is if i want to test my app and i add data on the fly after i get this error and need to uninstall the app i have to add again all data and that slow down the coding process. But i still love b4i

How many files are stored under the Files folder? Click on Files tab -> Sync. Make sure that all files are listed.

If you encounter this issue often then you can try to package all the files in a zip file and include this zip. You can unzip it with iArchiver library.
