Troubleshooting

1. The Android Studio may fail with the error message This version of Android Studio is incompatible with the Gradle Plugin used. To fix this, use Android Studio Jellyfish 2023.3.1.
2. The Xcode build may fail with a PhaseScriptExecution error if:
   • The project workspace path contains spaces. For example, if the archive downloaded from the Download Portal was extracted to /Users/john/package 2/.
   • Another HTTP server is running on port 8081.
3. The EXC_BAD_ACCESS error occurs when playing Widevine-protected DASH streams on iOS, specifically when WVCdm.createSession is called. Since Widevine CDM does not allow debugging, and this error is part of the tamper protection, you can resolve the issue by disabling debugging in Xcode: go to Product -> Scheme -> Edit Scheme -> Run -> Info -> Debug executable, and then uncheck the box.
