Unable to build for Android due to "WebException: The operation has timed out."

[SimonDarksideJ]

Summary

Opened up a project today and updated to:

• VideoKit V: 0.0.22
• Function V:0.0.30

Now I cannot build due to the following error (video Kit seems to be doing a web call during build?)

I've now tried this in two different projects with no success.

Suggested fix

Issue seems related to access issue, so this should be a warning and NOT an exception. Providing details on what to check to resolve.

Additional Detail

On examining the network behaviour, the web call seems to be calling clerk.videokit.ai:443 with no response

@SimonDarksideJ thanks for reporting this. You do need an internet connection when building because VideoKit has to download a resource to embed into the app binary.

As I am logging this issue from the same machine I am trying to do builds on, I do have an internet connection. The issue does not appear to be on my end. Especially as I had to download fiddler in order to trace the connection issues.

If the issue is internet related, surely there should be a more friendly and informative way of failing the build, with a more meaningful error.

[SimonDarksideJ]

OK @olokobayusuf , I rebooted and it looks like I can connect to the end point again and build.

However, as stated above, the error message should be more meaningful and trapped, other than a script reference error.

@SimonDarksideJ thanks for confirming that you got past it.

However, as stated above, the error message should be more meaningful and trapped, other than a script reference error.

I'll keep this issue open to do just that
