Beta: Very slow compiling

When I tried to compile a large app, it was very slow but finally it came up on the tablet and ran fine. However, the compile window still showed the progress bar at 99% or more. After a while, the window went away but the debug window still showed a broken link. After a minute or two, the debug window closed. I could still run the app.

So I tried a small test app of about 50 lines. I changed the time-out from 120 seconds to 300 seconds. The progress bar has only gone about 1/10th of the way and doesn't seem to be moving anymore. It just says "Compiling generated Java code." Now the bar is about 1/3rd over and the "Process is running longer..." window opened.

I'm compiling to a tablet connected via USB.

Can you post the contents of the compilation window?

Compiling the 50-line app again; this time the results were a little different:


At this point, the progress bar was about half way across and quit moving, then after a couple of more minutes, the "Process is running longer than expected." window came up and the progress bar jumped to about 3/4.

I said No, not to cancel. It sat for another couple of minutes then added "Error" to the "Signing package file" line and said "Process timed out."

I had changed the timeout to 300 seconds, but I just checked and it's back to 120 seconds.

The signing step usually takes less than a second here. You can try upgrading Java JDK. Maybe there is a problem in your installation.

Don't forget to update Tools - Path configuration.
