Titanium Appcelerator - After enabling cloud services I get UnicodeDecodeError when compiling for Android
- by Shahar Zrihen
I've got an app that has a UTF8 name (hebrew). I use the platform/android/AndroidManifest.xml file for this.
I've managed to narrow it down to the Ti.cloudpush module.
only when I enable this module I get the error.
I used to be able to compile it to android without any issues but as soon as I enable cloud services I get this error -
[ERROR] Exception occured while building Android project:
[ERROR] Traceback (most recent call last):

[ERROR] UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xd7 in position 501: ordinal not in range(128)
and this is my manifest file with the part that causes the issues.
If I remove the hebrew name, it compiles without any issues 
<application
    android:icon="@drawable/appicon"
    android:label="??????"
    android:name="QuestionnaireApplication"
    android:debuggable="false"
>
    <activity
        android:name=".QuestionnaireActivity"
        android:label="??????"
        android:theme="@style/Theme.Titanium"
        android:screenOrientation="portrait"
        android:configChanges="keyboardHidden"
    >
Any suggestions?
