Android Question Signing package file Error

[MaCaveAVin]

It has been a while without using B4A.
Today I'm trying to use it again and then following error appears when I'm tryng to run any of projects I have.

B4A version: 5.50
Parsing code. (0.00s)
Compiling code. (0.05s)
Compiling layouts code. (0.00s)
Generating R file. (0.08s)
Compiling debugger engine code. (1.00s)
Compiling generated Java code. (1.17s)
Convert byte code - optimized dex. (1.58s)
Packaging files. (0.40s)
Copying libraries resources (0.00s)
Signing package file (private key) Error
Process timed out.
You can change the timeout value under Tools - IDE Options.

I've tryed to generate a new key without success...
I've updated Java JDK without success...

Does anyone have an idea what could be wrong ?

Have you looked at this lot https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/pages/results/?query=Signing+package

 

[MaCaveAVin]

Yes, but only answer I found is to format my computer... :-(

I've aso tried to disable antivirus software without success

I believe another solution may exist...

Erel, any idea what could be root cause of signing package file timeout error (timeout is set to 60s) ?

Have you tried creating a new key, if that fails I would remove B4A and everything do to with it, make sure your java is update date then reinstall B4A 7.8 with the newest SDK and try again.

I'm sorry but formatting your computer is NOT an option and is 100% overkill, also does it work in Debug mode?

 

[MaCaveAVin]

Yes I tried a new key and also debug Key it's same behaviour.

I did also uninstall B4A an install again version 5.50 (my license for new updates has expired for a while), without sucess...

 

[MaCaveAVin]

I've increase timeout to 120s.

Now it works !

B4A version: 5.50
Parsing code. (0.03s)
Running custom action. (0.04s)
Compiling code. (0.26s)
Compiling layouts code. (0.01s)
Generating R file. (0.05s)
Compiling generated Java code. (1.75s)
Convert byte code - optimized dex. (0.89s)
Packaging files. (1.13s)

Found 5 resource files.
Signing package file (debug key). (90.33s)
ZipAlign file. (0.03s)

I've tried latest B4A trial version and it is the same behaviour.
I'm really wondering why it takes so much time ...!

 

[Peter Simpson]

Hmm really, that's interesting to know...

Looks like a Java issue. Try to update to a newer version of Java.
