Problems exporting to Android on 3.5.2 and 4.

GodotBeginnerRich

Above,

I've installed the Android SDK on both versions, but it won't find the build plugins.

I'm on Ubuntu 22.04.

Using Godot 3.5.2, if you attempt to export the project as an .apk file, and then use adb to install it on an Android device, what errors do you get?

I'm able to export to Android with both 3.5.2 and 4.0.2. I use the Android SDK provided in the current version of Android Studio (Android Studio Flamingo | 2022.2.1), which I installed using JetBrains Toobox. (You don't have to use JetBrains toolbox. I use it because I have multiple JetBrains applications to update.)

My OS is Pop!_OS 20.04, which is Ubuntu-based.

DaveTheCoder Excuse my ignorance but what's ADB?

DaveTheCoder

Android Debug Bridge
https://developer.android.com/tools/adb

It's a command-line tool that's part of the Android SDK.

To install an app using adb:
adb install path_to_apk

Can you explain more about the error you are getting, I'm not sure I understand.

GodotBeginnerRich

It basically says the Android SDK isn't installed.

DaveTheCoder

Have you tried my suggestion? And post exact error messages, not "basically says".

Read this. You have to install the exact versions mentioned here:

Note that the version numbering for Android Studio was changed in 2021. The complete version history is here:

Also note that cybereality's link is for "stable", which is currently Godot 4.0. That article may not be correct for Godot 3.5.2.
