Licences for Android build tools not accepted

Kenny315 · October 11, 2017, 7:00pm

echo “Y” | /opt/android/sdk/tools/bin/sdkmanager “build-tools;26.0.2”

I added this step after my restore_cache step and before my gradlew dependencies step. This properly accepted and downloaded v26.0.2 build tools. Not a proper solution, but it works for now.

Hm. That workaround didn’t work for me:

Warning: Failed to find package “build-tools
[===                                    ] 10% Computing updates...              
Exited with code 1

But this did:

   - run:
       name: Approve license for build tools
       command: (echo y; echo y; echo y; echo y; echo y; echo y) | $ANDROID_HOME/tools/bin/sdkmanager --licenses

hat tip this person:

Tried all, only this one works, thank you!

Hi everyone,

Sorry about the problems that you are having with this. It seems that Google have amended one of the Android SDK licenses today, and that exposed a bug in how I wrote the license accepting script in our Dockerfie. I’ve updated the CircleCI 2.0 image to accept the licenses properly - https://github.com/circleci/circleci-images/commit/1ac3ee07c1142291cafaf74c21b04fed46016a57 - this was the bug - the SDK manager would not update all components because the licenses had not yet been accepted.

For CircleCI 1.0 users, @edenman’s comment is the best solution - Licences for Android build tools not accepted.

Sorry for the downtime you have had today because of this.

Marc

I am seeing a similar license issue but with [Android Support Repository]. My build error also just started happening today, and occurs even when I rebuild a previously passing build.

Another user posted this here, but I thought I’d see if these two issues were linked.

Hi Alan,

Is this still failing for you? It might have taken a while for the new Docker image to propagate around through our Docker caches.

Fixed on CircleCI side it seems.

Hi Marc,

It’s no longer failing for me! Appreciate the quick response.

Thanks,

Hi Marc,
I have started having this issue while trying to run my ionic application using cordova run android from the command line. I have tried the license fix excepting it multiple times but I still receive the error. Here is what it looks like:

@gettindatfoshow
Had the same problem, managed to resolve it with this:

dependencies:
override:
- echo y | android update sdk --no-ui --all --filter build-tools-26.0.2,android-26

instead of my original:

dependencies:
override:
- echo y | android update sdk --no-ui --all --filter build-tools-26.0.2

bullest · November 7, 2017, 6:03am

Exactly the same failure for me.
On CircleCI 2.0 and follow the tutorial https://circleci.com/docs/2.0/language-android/
@marc any suggestion?

bullest · November 7, 2017, 6:08am

@HereIsJohnny, where should I input the dependencies? I tried this, but not work
version: 2
jobs:
build:
working_directory: ~/code
docker:
- image: circleci/android:api-26-alpha
environment:
JVM_OPTS: -Xmx3200m

jjasmann · November 28, 2017, 3:34pm

I’m on Circle CI 2.0 with a circleci/android:api-26-alpha image and a build step that installs the NDK bundle:

- run: sdkmanager --install "ndk-bundle" && yes | sdkmanager --licenses

I’m seeing the following, followed by an immediate build failure:

[=============================          ] 75% Computing updates...              
[=============================          ] 75% Computing updates...              
[=======================================] 100% Computing updates...             
All SDK package licenses accepted.

Exited with code 141

The docker image itself looks fine to me so I’m not really sure what could be causing it.

Has anyone found a workable solution for the time being?

SOLUTION: I have solved my issue. For others, the command needs to be split up into two separate run statements.

Does not work

- run: sdkmanager --install "ndk-bundle" && yes | sdkmanager --licenses

Works

- run: sdkmanager --install "ndk-bundle"
- run: sdkmanager --licenses

What’s the error msg? Seems like you put it in the correct place.

vic-gonzi · January 30, 2018, 1:40pm

There is an ugly workaround for this: Need to accept license agreement for Android tools?

Real fix must come from CircleCI. Until last Friday, updating Android SDK to 27 in pre was enough. Yesterday all the projects I’m working with right now got broken with no change at all.

For now, it seems you’ll have to do this ugly workaround to get your builds working again.

This is very frustrating. Having the same issue and couldn’t find a solution… My config file:

version: 2
jobs:
  build:
    working_directory: ~/code
    docker:
      - image: circleci/android:api-21-alpha
    environment:
      JVM_OPTS: -Xmx3200m
    steps:
      - checkout
      - restore_cache:
          key: jars-{{ checksum "build.gradle" }}-{{ checksum  "app/build.gradle" }}
#      - run:
#         name: Chmod permissions #if permission for Gradlew Dependencies fail, use this. 
#         command: sudo chmod +x ./gradlew
      - run:
          name: Download Dependencies
          command: ./gradlew androidDependencies
      - save_cache:
          paths:
            - ~/.gradle
          key: jars-{{ checksum "build.gradle" }}-{{ checksum  "app/build.gradle" }}
      - run:
          name: Run Compile
          command: ./gradlew :clean :nachos:test
      - store_test_results:
          path: app/build/test-results

Can anyone help? It is really hard to evaluate a tool if you can’t event do a basic setup properly.
