Bob cannot bundle with certain characters in the project title

[JCash]

As reported here, the bundling step may fail if the title contains certain characters.

From forum post:

If I set project title to “Kỳ Hoàng”, it failed to compile Android bundle, but if I set it to “Ky Hoang”, it compiled successfully.

These lines are in console when it failed:

Could someone take this? Thanks!

It has not been planned yet. I took a quick look and was unable reproduce on macOS. Which OS are you using? Also, is this when running from the editor or from command line using bob.jar?

[baochungit]

Thanks for taking your time! I'm using Windows 11 and that was running from editor.

I added some images to describle my case

It seems the error message now is different from the one I catched on 1.6.2 but it still failed to build with the project title having unicode characters, for example Kỳ Hoàng.

Will I wait for build server or Defold Editor updated to have this fixed?

[britzl]

This is a change in bob.jar. It should be available now.

[baochungit]

Sorry but I'm quite confused since I'm still seeing this error when building Android apk on Defold 1.7.0.
What should I do to have this change working?

[britzl]

This was merged last week so it is not included in bob.jar for 1.7.0. It is also not included in 1.8.0 since the beta is too old. It will be included in 1.8.1, but you can try it now by downloading the bob.jar alpha for 1.8.1:
