Cannot build APK with buildozer

[jairoerazo]

Versions

Python: 3.7.1
OS: MacOS Mojave 10.14.4

Description

I'm trying to build a simple kivy app with buildozer. I already tried rebuilding (deleting .buildozer folder then running buildozer -v android debug, reinstall buildozer via pip install buildozer, but I still encounter the same issue. I need help. The code of my app is here in branch Tests.

buidozer -v android debug

#    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
#    List as sections
#
#    You can define all the "list" as [section:key].
#    Each line will be considered as a option to the list.
#    Let's take [app] / source.exclude_patterns.
#    Instead of doing:
#
#[app]
#source.exclude_patterns = license,data/audio/*.wav,data/images/original/*
#
#    This can be translated into:
#
#[app:source.exclude_patterns]
#license
#data/audio/*.wav
#data/images/original/*
#


#    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
#    Profiles
#
#    You can extend section / key with a profile
#    For example, you want to deploy a demo version of your application without
#    HD content. You could first change the title to add "(demo)" in the name
#    and extend the excluded directories to remove the HD content.
#
#[app@demo]
#title = My Application (demo)
#
#[app:source.exclude_patterns@demo]
#images/hd/*
#
#    Then, invoke the command line with the "demo" profile:
#
#buildozer --profile demo android debug`

I think the error is generated because the ld linker is not found:

How and where can I configure the path to ld linker (/usr/bin/ld)?

[jairoerazo]

This warning:
[WARNING]: lld not found, linking without it. Consider installing lld if linker errors occur.
it was solved by installing llvm, but the error still exists. (error: python3.7m: no archive symbol table (run ranlib))

[one-quaker]

Have similar error http://dpaste.com/3R8NM0F

[AndreMiras]

Annoying this is still an issue on macOS.
Looks somewhat related to:

• apk create failed when --storage-dir used #1611
• App build failing on MacOS #1647
• Android debug results in error involving clang++ and linker. #1796
• buildozer failed clang++: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 #1800
• [WIP] Fix configure for python's recipes when building from macOS #1682

[one-quaker]

That error inside linux docker container (FROM ubuntu 18.04)

[AndreMiras]

Wait what? The initial report from @jairoerazobotero isn't inside Docker to me, judging from the paths /Users/jairoerazo/. But if you have a reproduction in Docker that's interesting.
Could you share the complete debug info, e.g. the complete build command you used, the entire log and your buildozer.spec?
Edit:
Because our CI builds under Docker via https://github.com/kivy/python-for-android/blob/6f08f52/.travis.yml and last build was green https://travis-ci.org/kivy/python-for-android/builds/530902117

I have lld installed and this error line is removed from logs but further proceeding with same error.

I am looking for solution since 50 days but found nowhere.
If any one could guide me I would be more happy to fix it.

Attaching logs with spec file for reference.

Hi,
Here is the problem:

# (bool) If True, then automatically accept SDK license
# agreements. This is intended for automation only. If set to False,
# the default, you will be shown the license when first running
# buildozer.
# android.accept_sdk_license = False

You have to uncomment the last line and said True:

android.accept_sdk_license = True

I made the changes suggested by you but still the error is same.

PFA spec file and logs for reference and to figure out the exact problem and resolution as this issue is now more longer than 2 months.
Seeking the resolution die hard.

I'm sorry but I never use Mac...
The only think I can said is have you done the entire installation procedure for buildozer on MacOS ?
If yes then I don't know, maybe try Docker image ?
I'm working on Windows and I use this image, the only problem I had was because of a permission issue with Docker for Windows
If you have an issue here is the solution I found for me : kivy/buildozer#902

Hope it will fit you're requirements

I'm also hitting this issue, I'm on macOS, but everything is run in a docker image that was NOT produced on a Mac so it should not in theory affect anything.

Is there no solution for this? I mean I could fire up a VM and run docker in the VM, but I'd love to be able to run this natively in native docker.

Is there a way to see the python build verbosely? I can tell you right now that is where the issue is as there are no build files at all in the python3-libffi-openssl-sqlite3/armeabi-v7a__ndk_target_21/python3/android-build directory. Which is why it can't link python3.7m it doesn't exist since that build must be bailing for some reason, but I can not see anything so I have no idea why.

[TheSin-]

Okay I found the issue, on macOS, macOS typically doesn't have a case sensitive fs, and docker doesn't change that. in the hostpython3 build there is a dir Python, so when you build it, it can not build the binary python in the same dir as there is no diff, since the binary isn't built everything from there starts to fail.

somehow is created a python.exe, so for testing only (this isn't a solution) I moved the Python directory to Python.dir, and move python.exe to python and re ran Buildozer without cleaning first. And guess what ;) it worked!

So the question is could we check for python and if it's missing check if python.exe exists and use that instead in python_for_android cmd ?

Or it could just patch the hostpython3 build to move Python directory and patch all the make files to use the new location so it's not in the way during the build. We have had to do this a few times in fink.

right now it's ugly as hell but I'm doing, but would be nice if python_for_android could fix it internally instead.
