After compiling, I scan the QR code on my android phone. But then when it tries to access the web link in the QR code, it returns an invalid link error. I tried compilin projects that were successfully loaded to the android phone weeks earlier and they too hit the same error. Is anyone in the group getting this error?Is there a bug in some update?

the QR code link is only valid for 2 hours, see also Packaging & Sharing Apps

Select "App (save .apk to my computer)." A pop-up box should alert you that your download has begun. Note: The other option (provide QR code for .apk) produces a scannable QR code that will download the app for two hours. You can share this code with others, but they have to use it within 2 hours of your generating it.
