I only get this error if i want to build an APK, I can run my app in debug mode.

I have searched the interwebz bout didnt found any solution, only some google forums but not anything that I could use for solution.

Maybe the the apk generation is not failing because of this, but the message don't really contians any other issues, as far as I see.

Please advice me if you can.

Answer 1

This is caused by upgrading SDK which has some changes in package names. Since this is just a warning, it could safely be ignored.

Anyway, to remove the warning,remove all Android SDK Build Tools 19.x. It should only show Android SDK Buld Tools 19.1 afterward. Install that version back, and you should be good to go.
