OK, so i am trying to export an android apk for my latest project Purge Persist & Profit!

I have a few apps on google play made with agk, so i do have some experience.

But this error doesn't really tell me much...Anyone else encountered this? Any mods or devs know the answer? Is there an error code reference somewhere?

Thanks ,

Bob

Looking at windows errors, a 258 error is a timeout error. Maybe a drive unmounting?

I know but i have found in the past that quite often error codes are simply passed through. Thought it might help

well it might have had a hint of truth to it: my files were stored in dropbox (i usually work there now), and when i moved them to desktop, the apk exported fine. so thanks!

I sometimes have issues compiling my apps as my AppGameKit folders are all in google drive. When you start compilation (or packaging) it creates a number of temporary files, which then start to get backed up. As the file is open in another application, they can't be deleted so the compilation/packaging fails.
I routinely have to disable GDrive when building apps for this reason. (If only it would wait 60 seconds after a file was created/edited before backing up.)

May I suggest using a git based solution for syncing and backing up projects? For free you can use github.com if you don't mind projects being public or bitbucket.org if you need some privacy. Or set up a git server of your own on your LAN - a simple little Pi3b would do the job perfectly fine, assuming you've attached some kind of proper storage to it, not just any old SD card.

Biggest advantage of git is the version control. Code happily knowing that you can step back any changes big and small should you need to. Best thing since buttered toast!
