Where are the Intel XDK build logs?

[Carl_S_2]

When I build XDK for iOS, I get the message 'An error occurred while building the application. Verify your build assets are correct and try again':

I have searched online and checked the build assets, but can't find anything wrong, so I am stuck.

Is there any way that I can see the log for the build to tell what went wrong? I can't seem to find a link to the logs anywhere, either in the XDK application or the online AppCenter.

Hey Carl, Are you using the classic (legacy) build or the Cordova build or iOS? The Cordova build has a link to the build log right under the the build failed message. Viewing that (focusing on the end of the log) will help you debug especially if you have included custom plugins. If you are still trying to work with the legacy build, I would highly suggest moving over to Cordova which is more flexible, has more documentation, and has more features available (and fewer bugs). The transition from classic XDK to Cordova is very quick and straightforward - most of your code stays the same. Let me know if you need any guidance with that.

Hi David

Thanks for the reply. I am using the Cordova iOS build, strange I didn't see the link. I was swapping between Cordova and legacy ad-hoc to try to get things working and maybe I got mixed up somewhere along the way. Anyway, I changed two things and it is building OK now with Cordova iOS: -

• I found an android setting in the iOS config file that I removed.
• I changed the app name, because I read that if it started with the project name that could cause issues. 

Cheers,

Carl
