I made an app using Streamlit. Everything works fine in my local folder, but in Spaces, it is always in “Building” state. I’ve tried Restart Space a few times and still have the same issue. The last part of the log is as follows. Could anyone suggest how to fix it? Thank you.

I was disappointment about this yesterday but could not get it to work no matter what I tried. Today I restarted the space and it works! Really I did not do anything and I am not sure why …

Same issue.  
Container logs show:

```auto
Running on local URL: http://0.0.0.0:7870

```

But App shows “Building” forever.  
Restarted the space a couple of time. But same issue.  
Any fix?

Same issue.  
Both spaces: gradio and streamlit doesn’t work with default test app.py files

But both spaces write only Building…

Restarting spaces and Factory rebuild does not helped.

## Problem was solved by Factory rebuild AFTER runtime timeout
