Dear friend, we, the rest of the NativeScript community really
appreciate your feedback! While we are doing all we can to take care of every
issue, sometimes we get overwhelmed. Because of that, we will consider issues
that are not constructive or problems that cannot be reproduced "dead".
Additionally, we will treat feature requests or bug reports with unanswered
questions regarding the behavior/reproduction for more than 20 days "dead". All
"dead" issues will get closed.

Please, provide the details below:

I am a relatively new mac user os any help would be appreciated.

After having installed nativescript I am trying to create an emulator. I have used the command:

avdmanager create avd --package "android-25" --name "foo"

and the error I get is:

Error: Package path is not valid. Valid system image paths are:ository...
null.

I can't seem to locate a fix to this problem. Any help?

Please tell us how to recreate the issue in as much detail as possible.

The best approach would be to get your code running in the NativeScript Playground and share the link with us, along with any additional details or steps to reproduce needed for examining the issue there.

It's a command line issue so I am guessing it has something to do with my file system.
Basically when I run:
avdmanager create avd --package "android-25" --name "foo".

The system gives me the error:
Error: Package path is not valid. Valid system image paths are:ository...
null.

Is there code involved? If so, please share the minimal amount of code needed to recreate the problem.

this doesn't work:
avdmanager create avd --package "android-25" --name "foo"

this will also not work:
avdmanager create avd -n test -k "android-25" -c 1000M -f -p ~/.android/avd

5690 You can refer this, as it seems I kinda solved my issues. Give a comment if anything goes wrong - maybe I missed something (I spend all day long installing everything) :)

Thanks @Juliusdz!

This did the trick:

$ cd $ANDROID_HOME/tools/bin

$ ./sdkmanager "system-images;android-25;google_apis;x86"

$ ./sdkmanager --licenses

(I had to accept all licenses)

[Juliusdz]

Yes, I had exact same error. You need to download Android emulator image / package. So I made all steps as in my comment and now it works fine.

p.s. and your command should be avdmanager create avd -n test -k "system-images;android-25;google_apis;x86" as stated in docs
