Hi @pasteurjr, are you compiling with buildozer’s docker image or by your own installation ? If you build with docker please pull the latest image

docker pull kivy/buildozer

Then recreate your buildozer’s container If it’s your own installation, please update pip and virtual env

pip install --upgrade pip virtualenv

If you have both python3 and python2 installed, be sure to upgrade python3 environment with

python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip virtualenv

Hope this will help you !
