On Android everything is OK, but on iOS the build fails :( what am i doing wrong?

Does the build succeed when you remove the plugin? What does the build log say?

My bet is that the file plugin is the problem. There is a problem with the build system where it pulls in an old version of the file plugin (because the media plugin requires it), but that old version does not work with the media plugin. You need to explicitly include the file plugin to get a version that will work. The default version the XDK will request, when you select it on the Projects tab, should work.

Well, i'm not actually using

Well, i'm not actually using the file plugin: i just need Android/iOS support, so i wrote this code:

new Media(
                ( device.platform.toLowerCase() === "android" ? '/android_asset/www/' : '' ) + "sounds/5min.mp3",
                null,
                null,
                function(status){
                    if (status === Media.MEDIA_STOPPED) {
                        myapp.fire.sound.play();
                    }
                }
            );

But the Media plugin will

But the Media plugin will include it, regardless. It uses it internally and it gets automatically included in the build, but that automatic inclusion is failing, so please try including it explicitly in your project settings to see if it resolves the issue...

I included the File plugin

I included the File plugin and the build was successful.

I tried to remove again the File plugin and the build was successful again! o_O

Maybe the first time i included the plugin something happened that fixed the problem.

Thanks a lot!
