macOS cli install Android SDK 34

1 sdkmanager require Java 17

brew install openjdk@17
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

2 download Android SDK command line tools only

https://developer.android.com/studio?hl=en#command-line-tools-only

3 unzip command line tools

mkdir -p ~/Library/Android/sdk/
unzip ~/Downloads/commandlinetools-mac-11076708_latest.zip -d ~/Library/Android/sdk/cmdline-tools
mv ~/Library/Android/sdk/cmdline-tools/cmdline-tools ~/Library/Android/sdk/cmdline-tools/latest
echo 'export PATH=$HOME/Library/Android/sdk/cmdline-tools/latest/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.zshenv
source ~/.zshenv
sdkmanager
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Usage: sdkmanager [--uninstall] [] [--package_file=] [...]

warning: sdkmanager should be here, otherwise you will get error "flutter doctor error: Android sdkmanager not found."

# wrong
/Users/tom/Library/Android/sdk/cmdline-tools/bin/sdkmanager
# right
/Users/tom/Library/Android/sdk/cmdline-tools/latest/bin/sdkmanager
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

4 set env

vi ~/.zshenv
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
export PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/openjdk@17/bin:$PATH"
export PATH=~/Library/Android/sdk/cmdline-tools/latest/bin:$PATH
export ANDROID_HOME=~/Library/Android/sdk
export ANDROID_SDK_ROOT=$ANDROID_HOME
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/tools:$ANDROID_HOME/tools/bin:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

5 download android sdk by cli not Android Studio

notice: macOS Android Studio default Android sdk dir: ~/Library/Android/sdk

sdkmanager --list
sdkmanager emulator
sdkmanager platform-tools
sdkmanager "build-tools;35.0.0"
sdkmanager "platforms;android-34"
sdkmanager "system-images;android-34;default;arm64-v8a"
sdkmanager "sources;android-34"
sdkmanager --list_installed
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

if you don't set env ANDROID_SDK_ROOT, you should use:

sdkmanager --sdk_root=$HOME/Library/Android/sdk --list
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

not --sdk_root=~/Library/Android/sdk.
