generic

Workarounds

  1. 95% success Accept all SDK licenses non-interactively 
    yes | sdkmanager --licenses

    Sources: https://developer.android.com/build/

  2. 90% success Set ANDROID_HOME and install required packages 
    export ANDROID_HOME=$HOME/Android/Sdk; sdkmanager 'platform-tools' 'platforms;android-34'
  3. 88% success Use sdkmanager to install specific missing packages 
    sdkmanager --list  # find package names; sdkmanager 'build-tools;34.0.0'

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. Download SDK packages manually from Google archives 80% fail

    Manual downloads miss dependency packages and do not register licenses

  2. Accept licenses interactively when running in CI 85% fail

    CI has no interactive terminal. Licenses must be accepted non-interactively.
