Cannot Unlock Debug Keystore + Build Failed 256

[elifares]

Before reporting the issue:
I have checked Solar2D forums for a solution and made a post there
I have installed Java 8 on my macbook (Intel - x64 with Intel Core i9)

Description of the bug
I was following the instructions in Signing and Building — Android and followed the Signing for Debug Build section.
First bug is: Entering android as the password for the debug.keystore did not work.
Second bug: Build failed with Error code: 256

Platforms involved
Building on: tried on macOS 15 then upgraded to macOS 26.2 (25C56), same results
Building for: Android

UPDATE: It's not a problem with my app or build settings. It's something to do with my Macbook laptop. I copied the code over to another laptop and was able to build it successfully.

I have the same problem on a macbook air m1

The problem appears to be essentially the JRE included with Solard2D/Corona SDK on silicon Macs.
There are two ways to fix this. The simplest is to install Rosetta and use the included JRE:

softwareupdate --install-rosetta
But there's another solution: using a native jre for Silicon.
I looked for the same version used by the latest version of Solar2D, the JRE 17.0.6.
I downloaded the tar.gz to avoid system installations and cluttering the environment. I also used a symbolic link to keep the original corona package as clean as possible.

Basically, you can follow these steps from the command line. If you don't have wget, you can use curl.

# let's move it to a neutral directory
cd tmp
# download the tar.gz with wget
wget "https://github.com/adoptium/temurin17-binaries/releases/download/jdk-17.0.6%2B10/OpenJDK17U-jdk_aarch64_mac_hotspot_17.0.6_10.tar.gz"
# or with curl (-o for the file name, -L to follow redirects)
# curl -o OpenJDK17U-jdk_aarch64_mac_hotspot_17.0.6_10.tar.gz -L https://github.com/adoptium/temurin17-binaries/releases/download/jdk-17.0.6%2B10/OpenJDK17U-jdk_aarch64_mac_hotspot_17.0.6_10.tar.gz
# let's create a folder in our home
mkdir -p ~/jdks
# let's unzip the file
tar -xzf OpenJDK17U-jdk_aarch64_mac_hotspot_17.0.6_10.tar.gz -C ~/jdks
# let's remove the archive
rm OpenJDK17U-jdk_aarch64_mac_hotspot_17.0.6_10.tar.gz
# let's give it a more compact name
mv ~/jdks/jdk-17.0.6+10 ~/jdks/jdk-17.0.6
# Let's rename the Solar2D jre
mv /Applications/Corona-3729/Corona\ Simulator.app/Contents/jre/jdk /Applications/Corona-3729/Corona\ Simulator.app/Contents/jre/jdk_old
# let's point the directory to the silicon JRE
ln -s ~/jdks/jdk-17.0.6 /Applications/Corona-3729/Corona\ Simulator.app/Contents/jre/jdk

voilà.

@micheg this is great! Do you know of any universal binary distribution we can bundle with Solar2D?

I looked for it, but unfortunately, it doesn't exist. All the major Java 17 distributions (Oracle, OpenJDK, Temurin, Azul, Microsoft) for macOS are distributed separately by architecture.
The only option is to make two releases, one for Silicon, one for Intel, or to deprecate Intel—after all, Intel-based Macs haven't been produced in 6 years—or to leave the JRE/JDK installed separately.
However, since this version of Java isn't particularly new, it could cause a system-wide problem.
Another solution, though less efficient, could be to force to install "Rosetta" when the user first requests an Android build on OSX..
(Most Mac users are probably more interested in iPhone/iPad builds.)
