could not generate package manifest: LC 6.7

cwkalish · Post by **cwkalish** » Fri Jan 09, 2015 8:17 pm

I am trying to build an android standalone using LC 6.7 (In order to test that writing files has changed in LC 7, see my earlier post).

But, I find I am no longer able to create standalones. I always get a "could not generate package manifest" error. I Have updated my android SDK, and it works fine building android standalones w/ LC 7

Hi all,

Please make sure you are using the latest version of LiveCode (6.7.1 and 7.0.1) as these contain fixes for the latest Android SDKs.

I have 6.7.0.5012. When I ask to check for updates, it says I am up to date.
The "about livecode" shows this as version 7

Could it be a problem w/ Android Studio? When I set the location of the SDK to be in my library folder (where studio puts it), the location does not "stick". The next time I start Livecode, the path to the SDK gets blanked out and I have to relocate it.

Neil, is this fix supposed to be available in the Linux engine? I haven't be able to make a Android build in Ubuntu successfully for several versions, including 6.7.1 and 7.0.1.

@ cwkalish- You will be able to download the latest releases from our main downloads repository here- http://downloads.livecode.com/livecode

@ FourthWorld- As far as I'm aware, this was integrated across all platforms. There error was due to some slight changes in the Android SDK that caused the build error within LC. Is the "could not generate package manifest" error the one you are experiencing?

Kind Regards,

Neil Roger

Upgrading to 6.7.1 did it for me. Thanks.

Still no luck here, cwkalish. Which OS are you using? And do you have a 32-bit or 64-bit version of Java installed?

A couple of things I tried (this was before upgrading to 6.7.1, so not sure they matter):
I had originally downloaded the latest JDK (I think 1.8?), but then went to Apple's site and downloaded the jdk they list (1.6.0)

I had originally installed Android Studio, but it seemed that Livecode didn't like the location of the sdk to be in my library folder (where studio puts it). I found that when I quit and restarted Livecode the path to the sdk would often be blanked out. So I loaded the sdk following instructions in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83qrKr9bR3M

I tried loading everything up on a new computer, but haven't been able to get that one to work. There I keep getting told that the sdks is not valid when I try to specify the path in Livecode preferences. So looks like there are many ways to go wrong here.

"Unable to create manifest" this seems like a common problem

I'm using Livecode 7.0.2. My stack will not build for Android. I can't find any solutions on the forums. Are there any other solutions?

I am joining this discussion as well. Am just starting to deploy to Android after sucessfully making program for windows, but it will not build.

I await the advice.....

Should have said- fails with the error 'could not generate package manifest' in both 6.7 and 7

update: it builds a test app from the sample stacks. Will not build mine. Looks like i got some coding to sort!!

As it is not a large app, i am going to use this as a training lesson. Build from scratch, deploy at regular intervals during the process and see where it trips up.

Guess I had better get the coffee on........

I tried again. I tried building in a new location, but that didn't work. I got the same could not generate package manifest: LC 6.7 message. I need help.

I tried again. Should I reinstall the Android SKDs? That's the only thing I can think of:. I need help.

Hi Max

Have you tried LC 7.0.3? That version of LC builds fine for Android (at least for me) but when I attempt the same in 6.7.3 I get the following error:

EDIT: apologies, I hadn't noticed where you say earlier in the thread that you are using 7.0.2

Hi all.

Did not get to bottom of this with my program.

Re-wrote from scratch. Much improved and learnt lots from process.

Now if only I can start to make money from it.........Lol.
