Aha. You mean platform-tools, not tools, right?
platform-tools has been there all along; it's not a new component, but you may not have installed it on your build servers; it's the component which distributes for example "adb". However, it also contains the most recent platform data; in particular, it's where lint's API database is distributed. When Android M shipped, there was a packaging error such that the API database didn't include the M APIs, so people using M APIs weren't warned by lint when accessing APIs with minSdkVersion < 23. Turned out a lot of people didn't realize they needed to update the platform tools to have the latest version. So for that reason I added an explicit check to make sure that you have the API database installed that is at least as high as your compileSdkVersion. I made this an error, since failing to check for APIs can lead to runtime crashes, and a lot of users were bitten by this. -- Tor On Fri, Dec 18, 2015 at 5:30 PM Artem Zinnatullin < artem.zinnatul...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, Tor! > > Completely forgot about my report here.
