Description

After add Ti.cloudpush module, android can't compile a production apk with UTF8 text in AndroidManifest.

I have an app with a hebrew (utf8) name. When I add the push notification module, it stops compiling and throws a "UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xd7 in position 336: ordinal not in range(128)" error.

Test case

Create a new app, give it a UTF8 name with an AndroidManifest.xml file. Add Ti.cloudpush module. try to compile the app for distribution.

Any updates on the subject?

Your AndroidManifest.xml doesn't seem complete... You don't escape the XML tags like . Can you provide your actual manifest, or one which reproduces the issue in a simple app? I added the cloudpush module, added an AndroidManifest.xml file replaced what you have between both android:label properties with hebrew. It builds for production fine with 3.0.2 GA.
