@asyync1024 You're right, and I learned that after I pushed the commit, rebuild-detector was telling me that android-sdk-build-tools needs a rebuild after toolchain bump and rebuilding silenced it, I didn't think through about this before bumping the pkgrel, I should have, sorry.

And I checked just now and it's nagging again, so I'm lost on why checkrebuild is not happy with android-sdk-build-tools.

Please note that commit - ecea575 (Rebuild because of arch toolchain bump, 2026-07-28) is redundant because this package doesn't compile anything, toolchain bumps apply to packages built on arch, not by upstream.

Thank you.

@medaminezghal Both of these return 404 for me.

Also https://developer.android.com/tools/releases/build-tools has not been updated, do you have the correct URL?

Thanks for the quick update.

@medaminezghal @Martchus It got fixed in https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/commit/?h=android-sdk-build-tools&id=5c8b58d, thanks!

And that's not just about Android Studio. The builds of my Qt apps also fail due to this.

Here's a version that fixes this (based on the comment from @medaminezghal): https://github.com/Martchus/PKGBUILDs/tree/master/android-sdk-build-tools/default

@aminvakil to make sure that Android Studio read the package correctly you need to make sure that the latest lines of the package.xml look like:

<localPackage path="build-tools;36.1.0" obsolete="false">
<type-details xsi:type="ns5:genericDetailsType"/>
<revision>
<major>36</major>
<minor>1</minor>
<micro>0</micro>
</revision>
<display-name>Android SDK Build-Tools 36.1.0</display-name>
<uses-license ref="android-sdk-license"/>
</localPackage>

Also the package need to be installed under /opt/android-sdk/build-tools/36.1.0 not /opt/android-sdk/build-tools/36.1

@Anquihald I'll add it to optdepends, without a pkgrel bump.

Hello. Two of the binaries, bcc-compat and llvm-rs-cc, require ncurses version 5 to work. Maybe it might be worth adding ncurses5-compat-libsᴬᵁᴿ in a list of dependencies?
