Ionic build tools installed but receiving error "No installed build tools found. Install the Android build tools version 19.1.0 or higher."

Question

I am trying to build and generate an apk for my Ionic 4 application. When I attempt to do this, I am met with the following error:

A problem occurred evaluating project ':CordovaLib'.
[cordova]  > No installed build tools found. Install the Android build tools version 19.1.0 or higher.

I have looked at many other solutions on Stackoverflow for this problem and nothing has fixed my issue. I have the Android SDK and SDK tools installed through the Android Studio SDK manager.

I have ANDROID_HOME set in both my .bash-profile and Android Studio path variables. Here is what my .bash-profile file looks like, which is where I believe environmental variables are intended to be set?

export ANDROID_HOME=~/Users/zacharyjordan/Library/Android/sdk
export ANDROID_SDK_ROOT=~/Users/zacharyjordan/Library/Android/sdk

export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/tools:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/tools/bin
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/platform-tools
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/emulator

When I attempt to build my application, it doesn't even seem as if Ionic is detecting my updated ANDROID_HOME path. It lists ANDROID_HOME as ANDROID_HOME=/usr/local/Caskroom/android-sdk/4333796

If anyone knows what I can do to get my app to build properly I would greatly appreciate it. No other solutions on Stackoverflow have fixed my problem thus far.

Answer 1

I just troubleshooted this error on a coworker's computer and the problem was an environment variable called ANDROID_SDK_HOME that was set to a different folder ( C:\\Android in his case). Changing that variable to match the actual sdk folder fixed the issue.

Answer 2

I have the Android SDK and SDK tools installed through the Android Studio SDK manager

SDK tools is different than the build tools .

Go to SDK manager, download build tools v19.1.0 or higher then error should be gone.

Answer 3

I managed to resolve my issue with the above error by creating 2 environment variables on my OSX machine for ANDROID_HOME this essentially is the same as what you did above but for my paths. (I had not done this prior.)

After that I ran the command sdkmanager "platform-tools" in my cordova projects CLI. I had difficulties resolving this issue before using Android Studios SDK Manager but this method seemed to clear things up.

Note: If build tools cannot be found for your project. It's worth trying sdkmanager "build-tools" in your CLI.

Hope this helps.

Answer 4

我修好了

export ANDROID_HOME=~/Android/Sdk

Answer 5

First of all you get that because of your environment path is not correct.

What worked for me (Windows 10):

open Android Studio -> SDK Manager -> SDK Tools

☐ Hide Obsolete Packages

☑ Show Package Details

From Android SDK Build-Tools list

☑ 29.0.3

Set the PATH for the ANDROID_HOME to YOUR_PATH\\sdk
