TITLE: Fixing Android SDK path issue to build a “blanket” APK

USER INTENT: The user wants to build a “blanket” APK (an Android APK for their project) and needs help resolving a Gradle build failure caused by Android SDK location not being detected.

TASK DESCRIPTION:

• Build the Android APK.
• Resolve the Gradle error occurring during the task :app:lintVitalReportInternal:
  • Error: SDK location not found. Define a valid SDK location with an ANDROID_HOME environment variable
• Ensure the Android SDK path is properly configured so Gradle can determine dependencies and proceed with lint/build tasks.

EXISTING:

• The user attempted to build the APK and encountered a Gradle failure at :app:lintVitalReportInternal.
• The key blocker identified is missing/undefined Android SDK location (no valid ANDROID_HOME environment variable detected by the build).

PENDING:

• Configure Android SDK location so Gradle can find it. This typically includes one or both of:
  • Setting ANDROID_HOME (and/or ANDROID_SDK_ROOT) environment variable to a valid Android SDK install path.
  • Adding sdk.dir=... to the local.properties file at the project root.
• Re-run the build after environment configuration is corrected to produce the APK.

CODE STATE:

• No code changes or file modifications were provided in the conversation.
• No repository file paths were explicitly mentioned other than the Gradle task reference :app:lintVitalReportInternal (implying a standard Android project with an app module).

RELEVANT CODE/DOCUMENTATION SNIPPETS:

• Build error snippet reported by the user:

  * What went wrong:
  Could not determine the dependencies of task ':app:lintVitalReportInternal'.
  > SDK location not found. Define a valid SDK location with an ANDROID_HOME environment variable
  

OTHER NOTES:

• The failure occurs during a lint-related Gradle task (lintVitalReportInternal), but the root cause is fundamental: the Android SDK path is not configured on the machine/CI environment.
• The user’s phrase “blanket apk” likely refers to simply building the project’s APK (possibly a release or debug build), but no build variant details were provided.
