Android build fails with Android SDK Build-Tools 31.0.0

Bug Report

Problem

When I run

cordova build android --release -- --gradleArg=-PcdvBuildToolsVersion=30.0.3

I get the following error:

Checking Java JDK and Android SDK versions
ANDROID_SDK_ROOT=undefined (recommended setting)
ANDROID_HOME=undefined (DEPRECATED)

BUILD FAILED in 1s

The build seems to ignore the pinned Android Build-Tools version.

This issue started appearing in our build pipeline between July 19., 13:20 UTC and July 20., 08:38 UTC. I can’t tell when the Android SDK Build-Tools 31.0.0 were release, but cordova-android 10.0.0 was release July 20., 04:17 (timezone?). That may be no coincidence.

What is expected to happen?

The build should succeed.

What does actually happen?

The build fails.

Migrated this to cordova-android for you since this is the package that is responsible for handling the android environment.

Our supported API level on cordova-android@10 is API 30, so build-tools version 30 should work. I’ve placed this issue in the 11.x milestone because generally we only officially support the next API level in a major releases. However, if it is possible to fix this without introducing breaking changes, then we may include it in a future minor release.

Currently cordova-android will look for the latest installed version of build tools, which is probably a bad idea for this very reason. Which is why the uninstalling build-tools 31 is the necessary workaround.

Hey @kputh In order to fix the issue, firstly go to the following location:

C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\build-tools\31.0.0

Then find the file d8 (Windows batch file) and rename it to dx.

Then go to:

C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\build-tools\31.0.0\lib

Then find the file d8 (Executable Jar File) and rename is to dx.

Your problem will be solved now.
