Description

The old http://v8-snapshot.appcelerator.com/ server is not available anymore that served v8 snapshots to Mac/Windows machines when building the SDK for Android.

SDK location:

titanium-sdk/android/titanium/libv8-services.js

Lines 176 to 195 in 51c7c98

	console.log('Attempting to request snapshot...');
	const snapshotUrl = 'http://v8-snapshot.appcelerator.com'; // TODO: Migrate to Github Artifacts once ready
	const packageJsonData = await loadPackageJson();
	const requestOptions = {
	body: {
	v8: packageJsonData.v8.version,
	script: rollupFileContent
	},
	json: true
	};
	const snapshotId = await request.post(snapshotUrl, requestOptions);
	// Request generated snapshot from server using `snapshotId` obtained from server above.
	const MAX_ATTEMPTS = 20; // Time-out after two minutes.
	let attempts;
	for (attempts = 1; attempts <= MAX_ATTEMPTS; attempts++) {
	const response = await request.get(`${snapshotUrl}/snapshot/${snapshotId}`, {
	simple: false,
	resolveWithFullResponse: true
	});

We are still at v8 8.8.278.17 (Ti 10.1.1.GA) because of a bug in 9.4 (#13395). I've fixed 9.4 (tidev/v8_titanium#55) a year ago but the build action doesn't work anymore.

v8 8.8.278.17 download:
https://github.com/tidev/v8_titanium/releases/tag/v8.8.278.17
but I'm not sure if that is the same as the snapshots from the v8-snapshot server.

Expected Behavior

downloading a snapshot

Actual behavior

failing after a few attempts

Reproducible sample

go into android/titanium and run node -e "require('./libv8-services').createSnapshotThenExit()"
