Titanium does not compile Android app (Cannot read property 'sdks' of undefined)

Question

I am trying to build my Android mobile app.

I have used the following command:

$ appc ti build -p android

However, it bizzarely gives me the following error:

Appcelerator Command-Line Interface, version 6.2.2
Copyright (c) 2014-2017, Appcelerator, Inc.  All Rights Reserved.

An uncaught exception was thrown!
Cannot read property 'sdks' of undefined
Cannot read property 'sdks' of undefined

What is going on and how do I fix this issue.

Answer 1

This is bug in Titanium cli: https://jira.appcelerator.org/browse/TIMOB-24751

You can fix this by installing windows sdk or patching the bug your self. Edit file C:\\ProgramData\\Titanium\\mobilesdk\\win32\\6.1.0.GA\\windows\\cli\\commands\\_build\\config.wpSDK.js

Add the fix from this pull request https://github.com/appcelerator/titanium_mobile_windows/pull/1006/files
