Android SDK is installed with platform v28, build-tools 28.0.3, Android Support Repository v47.0.0, Google Repository v58. I have no problem on building/running native Android and Flutter apps. ANDROID_HOME is also set. I use fish shell and added this to ~/.config/fish/config.fish

set ANDROID_HOME /Users/tuan/Library/Android/sdk

set PATH $ANDROID_HOME $PATH
set PATH $ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools $PATH
set PATH $ANDROID_HOME/tools/bin $PATH

Hi @tuannguyendotme,

We will investigate the issue, I think it is related to fish shell.

I can suggest to set variables as you do for standard shell.

Hi @dtopuzov

Seems it is the integration problem with fish shell. I configured ANDROID_HOME with bash shell (by adding 'export' statements to .bash_profile) and it works fine. After that I switch to fish shell and the problem is gone.

But as I set fish shell is default shell so every time I want to make it works (in fish shell) I need to switch to bash shell then switch back to fish shell.

Hey, guys. I finally know how to solve this problem in fish.
just add -Ux after set command. like this:

set -Ux ANDROID_HOME "/opt/android-sdk"

stack overflow links : set fish env variables.

@Memorytoco

Thank you very much. Works like a charm!!!

Hey guys,
As the issue seems unrelated to NativeScript CLI itself and as you've already found a solution, I'm closing this thread. Feel free to reopen it or log a new one in case you face any other problems with NativeScript CLI used from fish shell.
Happy coding!
