Can anyone help me to solve this error?

Having the exact same problem, even when attempting to build a simple "hello world" application that runs on Kivy Launcher.

[sci92bior]

I ran buildozer with new_android option but earlier I have deleted all components of buildozer and installed again. It works!

[aaknitt]

What is the new_android option that you're referring to? I don't see any mention of this in buildozer --help or in the buildozer.spec file. Can you elaborate? Also, how did you go about removing buildozer and reinstalling? I tried sudo pip uninstall buildozer and then reinstalled, but am getting the same results regardless of whether I use the stable or dev version.

[sci92bior]

I used a VM Kivy release and in terminal I ran a buildozer with new-android option. I think it's a better solution than manual installing a buildozer which has a number of dependencies. <http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> Wolny od wirusów. www.avg.com <http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2> 2017-08-31 4:06 GMT+02:00 aaknitt <[email protected]>:

What I found is if I run the actual command that was being executed by buildozer; that command is a python-for-android command then it tells me that I only have API version 19 installed but the default for buildozer is API 15. So I had to run android in the tools section of the sdk.... to install the other SDK platforms. But be careful to not let google update other things like it wants too; or you will run into even more headaches.... Now we will see if it fixes the error or not.
FYi it is did not fix it. but made it a little further.

[FeralBytes]

To fix and overcome this error. I had to use the Kivy VM and I had to make sure that the build_dir and the bin_dir were set to a path on the VM; no linking, no symbolic links, and no virtual box shared folders; or else the build would fail with this cryptic message.
This message some how means; failed to compile something due to an issue with file system links.
For now resolved for me. Test and let me know if it works for you.

[aaknitt]

Thanks! I was trying to use a shared folder with the VM. After transferring the files to the VM and not using the shared folder, I was able to get it to build.

[FeralBytes]

@aaknitt Good to hear!
I have also been building fine since figuring this out.
@sci92bior can you please try the same and see if it fixes your error. If so please close the bug. Thanks.

[premalatha-balan]

I have the same problem. I am not using the shared folder. Can someone help me please?

Command failed: /usr/bin/python -m pythonforandroid.toolchain create --dist_name=kivycrash2 --bootstrap=sdl2 --requirements=python3crystax,hostpython2,kivy --arch armeabi-v7a --copy-libs --color=always --storage-dir=/home/kivy/Tutorial/.buildozer/android/platform/build

[AndreMiras]

What makes you think it's the same problem? Your log is too short to say if it's the same issue or not.
If you need help don't use the bug tracker, but discord support channel.
Use the bug tracker only to share relevant info that help to fix a bug.
By the way @sci92bior didn't reply to @FeralBytes if it's solved or not and we haven't heard about this bug for a while. So I'm closing.
Feel free to reopen and share relevant info to reproduce if that exact bug is still there.
