When I try to “Make Native App with Voltbuilder” (run android --debug) I keep getting the error,
error: Error: Invalid character in entity name

It built a few days ago but today it doesn’t. As far as I’m aware nothing has changed.
Can you zip your project folder and send it to support@appstudio.dev? We’d like to try this here.
Hi, I have just emailed the project.
The problem is in your splash property:
The clue which tipped me off was the error message in the log, which hinted that the project’s resources might have a problem:
2020-12-20 10:50:33,121 - root - ERROR - An exception has occurred!
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "shutil.py", line 788, in move
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/Users/george/Downloads/BS7909TempInstallCerts.appstudio/voltbuilder/www/resources' -> '/Users/george/Downloads/BS7909TempInstallCerts.appstudio/voltbuilder/resources'
Hi, i have other apps which use the same splash property which seems to build ok.
I saw the same error in the log and it appeared that the AppStudio was not generating all the required voltbuilder files, so I deleted the voltbuilder folder but got the same error.
Can I copy the voltbuilder file and contents from a different app?
You’re right - there’s more to this. I’ll keep looking.
FIXED:
I removed the “&” from project properties > Common > “Description” text.
I also removed the date from the copyright text
I also removed the () from the project properties > Common > “Description” text.
Not sure which one was the issue but its working now.
It was the &. We’ll have a look into why.
Thank you!
Thank you for looking in to it.
Much appreciated.
