Failed to install the following Android SDK packages as some licences have not been accepted

Hi everybody,

I’m trying to publish my app. So far I’ve been able to overcome all obstacles in that process. But after already having spent hours on this one I’d like to ask for help.

During build I get this output:

Most search results on the internet will ask you to run a file called sdkmanager in the tools directory of the installed Android SDK. But there is no such file in the folder.

Does anybody have an idea what I could do?

Do what F-Droid server does:

cat << EOF > $ANDROID_HOME/licenses/android-sdk-license

8933bad161af4178b1185d1a37fbf41ea5269c55

d56f5187479451eabf01fb78af6dfcb131a6481e

24333f8a63b6825ea9c5514f83c2829b004d1fee
EOF
1 Like

That did it.

The next step also failed (install another SDK version) because of permission issues.

Then it dawned me: I’ve been using the android-sdk from the debian repository. That installed it here: /usr/lib/android-sdk/

Write access for my regular user did not work which is probably also why the installer failed in adding the above values to the files.

Thanks a lot for your answer!
