Hi Skip, the problem is that Android Studio 3.6.x does not install Android command line tools by default.
this is an excerpt of the update LC lesson http://lessons.livecode.com/m/2571/l/625198-livecode-and-android-studio Update: Android Studio 3.6 has stopped to install the android command line tools by default. These tools were stored in the /Users/youruser/Library/Android/sdk/tools folder, and contained some necessary jar files that are needed to build for Android. You can still force Android Studio 3.6 to download these tools: - Launch Android Studio and go to Configure -> "SDK Manager" - In the new window open "System Settings -> Android SDK". - From there pick the tab "SDK Tools". - Uncheck the "Hide Obsolete Packages" option in the bottom of the window. - Now there should appear a new option: "Android SDK Tools (Obsolete)" - check that, hit "Apply" - it will download the files and "Tools" folder will appear in the /Users/youruser/Library/Android/sdk/ folder: HTH, - Matthias Rebbe Life Is Too Short For Boring Code > Am 05.04.2020 um 23:55 schrieb Skip Kimpel via use-livecode > <use-livecode@lists.runrev.com>: > > Very helpful, thank you Colin..... and I knew it would not be that easy. > Now I get a message that says "The chosen folder is not a valid Android > SDK.
