Getting debug error

[hkirat]

Getting "Cannot find a compatible Android SDK for compilation. To be able to build for Android, install Android SDK 22 or later." error.

Has beed discussed before in #2583.
Have reverted to a previous version of android sdk.
Installed latest version of nativescript as well.

[hkirat]

Nvm.. is working fine now... downgraded to version 2.5.3 for nativescript
Another issue I'm facing though
nativescript run android shows the following exception
Exception: The plugin [email protected] is already installed
and stops to function.

Hi @hkirat

In case you have Android SDK Tools 25.2.3 or higher, can you please run $ANDROID_HOME/tools/bin/sdkmanager --list and post the result?

In case of older Android SDK Tools please run android list sdk and android list target and post the output.

Here's the output @dtopuzov

Something similar happening for ios

[hkirat]

Fix this using nodejs/node-gyp#569 (comment)
Now I see this error
"cwd" must be a string
on running
tns run ios

Exception: The plugin [email protected] is already installed
I am facing the same issue
@hkirat Please provide the solution if you've fixed it

[NickIliev]

@thabungm for your case you probably have tns-android as a dependency in your package.json.
If that is true do the following:

• open package.json
• delete from your dependencies list tns-android
• remove platforms and node_modules folders
• rebuild the application

[hkirat]

Removed that.
Android still doesn't compile
Same error. Version 22 or more required for SDK.
Works fine for ios though

[dtopuzov]

Hi @hkirat

What I see in this log is that you have only build-tools 26.

Can you run those commands:

$ANDROID_HOME/tools/bin/sdkmanager "platform-tools"
$ANDROID_HOME/tools/bin/sdkmanager "tools"
$ANDROID_HOME/tools/bin/sdkmanager "build-tools;25.0.3"
$ANDROID_HOME/tools/bin/sdkmanager "build-tools;25.0.2"
$ANDROID_HOME/tools/bin/sdkmanager "build-tools;23.0.1"
$ANDROID_HOME/tools/bin/sdkmanager "platforms;android-25"
$ANDROID_HOME/tools/bin/sdkmanager "platforms;android-23"
$ANDROID_HOME/tools/bin/sdkmanager "emulator"
$ANDROID_HOME/tools/bin/sdkmanager "extras;android;m2repository"
$ANDROID_HOME/tools/bin/sdkmanager "extras;google;m2repository"

and try tns doctor and tns build android again?

[hkirat]

Followed the steps
Getting this now

[dtopuzov]

@hkirat This happens because you have typo.
Please use tns run android instead of tns run anroid.

[hkirat]

Ya sorry bout that.
Thanks a ton. Works now
