Since when does adb require elevated priviledges?

These tools are installed in /opt/android-sdk/platform-tools. It seems that the PKGBUILD adds the directory to PATH only for sh and csh and not other shells. I use Nushell, so I have a problem similar to what php4fan has. I added it to PATH manually.

I installed this package and I still don't seem to have the adb command:

$ adb
zsh: correct 'adb' to '_adb' [nyae]? n
zsh: command not found: adb

Am I missing something?

please add package.xml Without it trying to build apps with capacitor results in:

ERR_SDK_PACKAGE_NOT_FOUND: SDK package not found by location: /opt/android-sdk/platform-tools.

and while trying to debug it I discovered that it's trying to read the /opt/android-sdk/platform-tools/package.xml file and failing because it doesn't exist.

@zjeffer Thanks a lot, worked here, too.

@wequin I had the same problem. Removing the source folder (mine was located at ~/.cache/paru/clone/android-sdk-platform-tools) and retrying fixed the issue.

This is the checksum I get, cross-verified by downloading over two seperate networks to ensure no tampering -

device requires partition vendor_kernel_boot which is not known to this version of fastboot

I was getting this error when trying to use Google's latest factory image using the android-tools package and figured I would include it in this comment for search engine visibility. Both the android-tools and this AUR package are 30.0.3, but the vendor_kernel_boot partition doesn't appear to work in the standard package.

I found it does work with the version included in this package, but in order to use it you need to include the /opt/android-sdk in PATH manually in order for scripts to use this version.

This doesn't seem to work with fish, the profile.d files use {}

can we include this patch?

I don't think that's possible for this package, which just extracts and installs binaries provided by Google.
