Appcelerator 4 cannot find Android SDK on Mac

Question

Appcelerator Studio 4.7.1.201609100950 on Mac OS X cannot find Android SDK. I have downloaded it with the button on the Appcelerator Studio Dashboard. After download was successfully finished, the Appcelerator Studio was not able to recognise it. I was getting the following error : [Android SDK Home] No Android SDKs were found under the specified SDK location

Answer 1

I had this issue as well. The reason is (for me at least) is when I first created the App, it was with an older version of Studio & SDK.

One solution, is create a new Project with the latest SDK & Studio, then paste all your code in that new project (make sure everything is updated correctly in tiapp.xml), then you will see there is no more issues running Android.

You can also try it with just a new Mobile Project (with latest SDK, currently 5.5.1.GA), and see if it runs on Android. If this works, you can move all your code to this new project.
