Fdroid local build does not download NDK

[Relative2982]

I followed the Submit to fdroid quick start, but my app does not build because NDK 27.0.12077973 and fdroid does not download it.

Output of fdroid build in the docker container:

fdroid build --verbose appid

So we see the full error message

Do you have sdkmanager from Debian Bookwork Backports installed?

If not, add to sudo: this:

      - apt-get install -y -t bookworm-backports sdkmanager

Why censor the repo address?

Thank you for your reply.

I fixed the problem by running sdkmanager --install "ndk;27.0.12077973" before fdroid build io.github.**.

And you are right, there is no need to censor the repo address. I just opened a merge request Add XiVPN (!17227) · Merge requests · F-Droid / Data · GitLab
