Thanks for the comprehensive bug report, there's a fix attempt here https://github.com/kivy/buildozer/pull/791

[scud3r1a]

Still ongoing in Buildozer 0.38.

[monojk]

I also have the problem in 0.38.dev0
I installed the 0.38 because I hope it solved my bug "buildozer android NDK not downloading Ubuntu" from stackoverflow

[AndreMiras]

Yes we would like to write the regression test before/with the fix. Pull requests are welcome, the regression test should be written in tests/test_buildozer.py and it should be fairly easy.

[AndreMiras]

For record here's what the regression test could look like https://github.com/kivy/buildozer/pull/799
And the fix https://github.com/kivy/buildozer/pull/791 was merged

[monojk]

Please reopen. After the fix I get:

Adding the reported line:

It's not the same issue. And I think your p4a is outdated, make sure to be on master and clean installation. There's already a ticket on p4a with what you described

[monojk]

The error is still there after installing

I saw now that when I specify
p4a.branch = master
the error above does not appear.
But now I get
I have in my buildozer.spec
requirements = python2, kivy
android.minapi = 17
Why is a python2 recipe selected?

[monojk]

I mean, why is a python 3 recipe selected?
