created issue #1

Mar 29, 2022 02:35AM

We are testing the AWS Graviton2 instances in our cloud infrastructure for Android builds. Those instances are arm64-based. When we are building Android libraries, the aapt2 process crashes with:

AAPT2 aapt2-7.1.2-7984345-linux Daemon #0: Unexpected error output: /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2: No such file or directory

Are there plans to support aapt2 in SDK Build Tools for arm64-linux?

Version of Gradle Plugin: 7.1.2

Version of Gradle: 7.4.1

Version of Java: 11

OS: Linux

Status: New

Proper support for arm linux would require

Making sure build tools are compatible (aapt, aidl, various renderscript tools)
Making sure the NDK is compatible
Making sure Gradle has support (it uses some native code on some platform for performance reasons, and I think there's a pure JVM fallback but it's worth investigating)

There may be other things missing. We'll take a closer look and add to this bug.

Thanks for your request. We will investigate this issue and see if we can implement the behavior you've requested.

As an additional alternative, it should be possible to specify a label in the options for GmailApp.sendEmail().

A work-around is proposed in StackOverflow:

Are there any news on adding the ability to archive and add a label to specific emails (not threads)? From a corporate shared mailbox perspective auto threading emails by subject is a serious issue (eg. we recive two emails from the same person with same subject but with different description).

Since it's available in pure mailbox view is that such a big effort to make it available also in Google Script?

en...@google.com <en...@google.com> #6Mar 29, 2022 05:07PM

Looking forward to having this implemented. As has been mentioned automatic threading based on subject is a big no-no for our enterprise. We get automated reports and other documents sent to us by customers and suppliers and they are lumped together in threads making it very difficult for me to let Apps Script process them automatically since labels (i.e. outlook folders) have to be applied to entire threads (even though the messages in these threads often need to be treated differently).

xa...@google.com <xa...@google.com> #7Mar 29, 2022 05:15PM

Please add this function (and message.getlabel too) we need to scan message not only the thread.

xa...@google.com <xa...@google.com> #8Mar 29, 2022 05:16PM

Will there be any progress on this issue? Threading is great for humans, but if you are scripting, accessing and manipulating individual messages is MUCH more important, especially if it can be done from the normal user interface. Anything you can do to the thread you should be able to do at the message level.

Activate advanced google services/gmail api and use the gmail api functions.

Just wanted to +1 this and see if there is anything on the roadmap for this! we are looking to move our Android app CICD clusters to ARM-based nodes and currently need aapt2 for linux/arm64. We were able to get a workaround running for the emulator, but it would be great to have it built into sdkmanager.

an...@gmail.com <an...@gmail.com> #14Dec 22, 2022 01:37PM

Building android app on my arm64 Chromebook and smartphone fails for same reason. I was able to get myapp built on debug mode but failed to get in release mode. You can see the results here

+1 to this, we are migration our org's CI to graviton and this is a blocker for us

+1 we are using docker on Mac M1/M2 and want to use AWS Graviton ARM-based machines

FYI Ubuntu/Debian has a working aapt2 executable for the arm64 platform in the android-platform-frameworks-base package. You can manually install the latest packages and then add android.aapt2FromMavenOverride=/usr/bin/aapt2 to your gradle.properties file to use the system version of aapt2 with AGP.

go...@gmail.com <go...@gmail.com> #18May 4, 2023 09:13AM

Thanks a lot for the tip.

en...@google.com <en...@google.com> #19May 4, 2023 03:07PM

but note that only debian experimental has anything like a current version of aapt2: https://packages.debian.org/search?searchon=sourcenames&keywords=android-platform-frameworks-base (the major version numbers there correspond to Android releases).

an...@gmail.com <an...@gmail.com> #20May 5, 2023 08:30AM

You can use this aapt2 from this repo, he maintains latest version.

This repository not contain aapt2.

Download android-sdk-tools-static-aarch64.zip file from release assets it has aapt2 file. I use it on android with termux app.

For us right now, we really only need emulator support, as that enables much larger testing surface.

tr...@gmail.com <tr...@gmail.com> #24Sep 7, 2023 01:58PM

For the SEO:

If you attempt to run adb as installed thru sdkmanager on linux/arm64 you will get errors similar to this.

in my case it is on aws graviton via arm64 fargate runtime. back to x86_64 we go :(

android/sdk/platform-tools/adb: 18: Syntax error: "(" unexpected

Some new data points:

Circle CI offers linux/arm64 CI runners: https://circleci.com/docs/using-docker/#arm
Github is going to do the same for github actions: https://github.blog/changelog/2023-10-30-accelerate-your-ci-cd-with-arm-based-hosted-runners-in-github-actions/

+1 - especially with the great work the folks over at Asahi Linux are doing, a proper Linux arm64 release of the Android tooling would fantastic!

Hi,
Would this work

https://github.com/lzhiyong/android-sdk-tools ? I tried to install Anroid SDK on my ARM84 Chromebook and run into issue installing Android SDK

https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/147337 .

fa...@gmail.com <fa...@gmail.com> #29Apr 28, 2024 10:34AM

This build used to work for me, and probably still does. Definitely worth a
try!

ARM64 laptops are about to hit the market within a few months. Although primarily Windows-focused, that makes non-Apple arm64-powered hardware more broadly accessible to the public. Nothing should stop people from rocking Linux/arm64 on these.

+1 I have a new XPS 13 Snapdragon X ARM laptop, and would love to replace my x86 desktop with it. IntelliJ etc runs fine, but I can't use Android Studio. So since macos is already ARM based, I would love to see Linux ARM support as well!

Need support for asahi linux(arm64), Now android phones start having snapdragon elite processors, really want to replace my laptop with just phones now. It's time now. Need kmp native support(development libraries).
