When executing buildozer android debug, an error message is displayed saying that aidl cannot be found

I have an error when executing buildozer android debug

Traceback (most recent call last):

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/root/.buildozer/android/platform/android-sdk/build-tools/35.0.0-rc4/aidl'

And executed in the /root/.buildozer/android/platform/android-sdk/tools/bin directory:
./sdkmanager --list --sdk_root=./
./sdkmanager --licenses --sdk_root=./

I also checked whether the aidl file exists through the ls command, but when I manually open the aidl, the system says that the file cannot be executed and there is no such file or directory. I clearly agreed to the Google license, so what went wrong?

I am bumping into the same issue.

Looks like
Run '/home/user/.buildozer/android/platform/android-sdk/tools/bin/sdkmanager --sdk_root=/home/user/.buildozer/android/platform/android-sdk platform-tools'
and other commands that trigger license request - happen in this function here:

android.py

I've changed

auto_accept_license = self.buildozer.config.getbooldefault( 'app', 'android.accept_sdk_license', False)
to
auto_accept_license = True

rebuilt the buildozer image and was able to skip the issue.

Probably this variable should be configured somewhere in a proper way, maybe in a spec, but I cannot find it yet.

👋 @libai919,
Sorry to hear you are having difficulties with Kivy's Buildozer; Kivy unites a number of different technologies, so building apps can be temperamental.
We try to use GitHub issues only to track work for developers to do to fix bugs and add new features to Buildozer. This issue has been closed, because it doesn't describe a bug or new feature request for Buildozer.
There is a mailing list and a Discord channel to support Kivy users debugging their own systems, which should be able to help. They are linked in the ReadMe.
Of course, if it turns out you have stumbled over a bug in Buildozer, we do want to hear about it here. The support channels should be able to help you craft an appropriate bug report.
