There are still a couple of changes pending for the iOS build servers, so this fix is still very much “In Progress”. We’ll keep this topic updated when all changes go live.

Thanks @doctorsof

@andrestproductions when was the last time you tried downloading your app? This should be working for Android now, I’m just waiting to hear about the iOS build servers.

We tested a sample app with Firebase before the upgrade, but maybe there is an issue? Can you create a new topic for this including, if possible, screenshots, a simple example app, and steps for us to reproduce this error on our end, thanks.

I think this problem has been solved. The only thing that impresses me is that the Gifs work for iOS and not for Android. If this can be fixed, it will be great.

Thanks @Balanced_Kitchen, @martint and @hernandezsilvaericko for confirming that the build servers are working properly again for everyone downloading iOS and Android apps. Since my own tests are also working fine I’m going to mark this topic as “[solved](http://community.thunkable.com/tag/solved)”.

Thank you to everyone who helped out with testing and debugging calls recently, we really appreciate it.

@domhnallohanlon,

Quick question,

To get our downloaded apps to work again, do we need to rebuild the apps so they are ready to publish?

Thanks,  
Ian

@ianphaas if you downloaded an app earlier in the week that was crashing unexpectedly then the update to the build servers means that newly downloaded apps should no longer be crashing.

Since the fix only went out yesterday, if you downloaded your app before that you will need to download again for the update to take effect. i.e. it won’t retroactively fix any built apps that were downloaded before the fix was released.

Hope that makes sense!

@domhnallohanlon,

Thanks, this actually works better for me as I discovered some bugs in my app I needed to fix before rolling out to the app store, so this helps me as I am able to fix them now.

All the best,
