sencha touch package build - just displays the command prompt does not display any errors

Question

I have been working on this problem for days, and I cannot work it out.. please help ?

I followed the getting started tutorial on http://docs.sencha.com/touch/2-0/#!/guide/getting_started

I successfully created the GS project .. sencha generate app GS ../GS

Now I am trying to create an .apk file, so I install on my Android handset for testing.

Problem : When I type in the following c:\\sencha-touch-2> sencha package build c:\\GS\\packager.json

Nothing happerns and the cursor just goes to the command prompt

Below is my packager.json file.

If anybody had any ideas or can help , I would really appreciate it

{
    "applicationName":"GS",
    "applicationId":"com.steve.GS",
    "versionString":"1.0",
    "iconName":"Icon.png",
    "inputPath":"c:\GS",
    "outputPath":"c:\Build",
    "configuration":"Debug",
    "platform":"Android",
    "deviceType":"Universal",
    "certificatePath":"c:\debug.keystore",
    "certificateAlias":"",
    "sdkPath":"c:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk",
    "androidAPILevel":"15",
    "orientations": [
        "portrait",
        "landscapeLeft",
        "landscapeRight",
        "portraitUpsideDown"
    ]
}

Answer 1

Try running "sencha package build packager.json" in c:\\GS

if this doesn't work:

• do you habe the latest Sencha-Cmd installed?
• What sencha touch are you using 2.0.1? (I didn't find any info on android packaging for 2.1.1)

Answer 2

To build a sencha touch application, make sure you update your packager.json file in the sencha touch project with the following attributes:

• "applicationId":"com.test.projectname",(package format to be followed here)

• "platform":"Android", ( if you are building for android device)

• "platform":"AndroidEmulator", ( if you are building for android emulator)

• "certificatePath":"../", (path to your certificate - can use the key which is used to sign android application)

• "certificatePassword":" ** ", (password to your key)

• "sdkPath":"../../../../../../android-sdk_r16-windows/android-sdk-windows", (path to android sdk if you are building for android)

• Ensure that you are giving a relative path from the packager.json folder unlike in the question where the physical location to the sdk and key is provided
