Titanium Studio - Can't start Android App in Emulator

StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19211001

Question

I have built an application with Titanium Studio. The IOS Simulator works perfectly. But I can't build my app in the Android emulator. I have the Android SDK v.22 and I am using Titanium 3.1.3.

Could someone tell me what I must do?

I get this log:

[INFO] Titanium SDK version: 3.1.3 (09/18/13 12:00 222f4d1)

[ERROR] ProgrammingError: You must not use 8-bit bytestrings unless you use a text_factory that can interpret 8-bit bytestrings (like text_factory = str). It is highly recommended that you instead just switch your application to Unicode strings.

Was it helpful?

Solution

This problem can occur if you

  • have file names with non-standard characters (like ñ or é).
    Switch to standard unicode characters in your file names only.
  • have incidentally added a PSD file to your assets
