Hello, @Javernaut
We will take a look at the issue.

kenmorse · 2021-09-07T15:11:30Z

The current images include:

22.1.7171670 — NDK r22b (March 2021)
21.4.7075529 — NDK r21e LTS (January 2021)

The guidelines indicated that the installation strategy for the Android NDK is, "1 latest, 1 LTS version". With the NDK r23 LTS, the latest and the LTS version are the same. So in this case, does it make sense to replace r22b with r23 and keep r21e:

23.0.7599858 — NDK r23 LTS (August 2021)
21.4.7075529 — NDK r21e LTS (January 2021)

Or instead replace the LTS version and keep the previous version:

23.0.7599858 — NDK r23 LTS (August 2021)
22.1.7171670 — NDK r22b (March 2021)

?

maxim-lobanov · 2021-09-07T15:50:38Z

Hello @kenmorse , we would like to install 21, 22, 23 side by side for now and PRs will be provided soon
Previously, we couldn't afford it but currently we can.
@MaksimZhukov will update policy soon.

macOS images with NDK 23 were deployed, ubuntu is deploying this week

macOS images with NDK 23 were deployed, ubuntu is deploying this week

I ran my pipeline this morning and it still failed searching for NDK. How long does this usually take?

MaksimZhukov · 2021-09-28T08:26:58Z

Hello @palumbo67!
Usually, it takes 3-4 days to propagate the images to all environments if there are no issues

kenmorse · 2021-09-28T15:27:58Z

@palumbo67 — while you are waiting, something like this might help (on Ubuntu):

  - name: Check for specific NDK
    run: |
        [ ! -d "$ANDROID_NDK_ROOT/23.0.7599858" ] && echo "NDK_23_0_7599858=not available" >> $GITHUB_ENV

  - name: NDK Cache
    if: ${{ env.NDK_23_0_7599858 == 'not available' }}
    id: ndk-cache
    uses: actions/cache@v2
    with:
      path: /usr/local/lib/android/sdk/ndk/23.0.7599858
      key: ndk-cache-23.0.7599858

  - name: Install NDK
    if: ${{ env.NDK_23_0_7599858 == 'not available' && steps.ndk-cache.outputs.cache-hit != 'true' }}
    run: echo "y" | sudo /usr/local/lib/android/sdk/tools/bin/sdkmanager --install "ndk;23.0.7599858"

If the NDK is already on the environment, the next two steps are skipped. If it's not there, the cache is used, and if the cache isn't there either, the specific NDK is installed.

After the ubuntu-latest (ubuntu20/20210929.1) rolled out, our flutter build appbundle workflow step has started failing with the following error:

Running Gradle task 'bundleRelease'...                          
Removed unused resources: Binary resource data reduced from 530KB to 518KB: Removed 2%

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:stripReleaseDebugSymbols'.
> No toolchains found in the NDK toolchains folder for ABI with prefix: arm-linux-androideabi

Was building w/o error up until yesterday when running on ubuntu20/20210919.1

Nothing changed in our gradle configs since yesterday and not seeing this in our macOS or ubuntu20 local development environments.

Anyone else seeing this with flutter/android builds?

We are experiencing the same issue. No changes in our build config, but they started to fail with a similar problem:

Hello @mqueiroz1995. Could you please share content of gradle-wrapper.properties and build.gradle files?

DaVaMa1 · 2021-10-04T08:09:51Z

We're experiencing the exact same issue with our Flutter builds and it's been halting our entire workflow for the past week, both on ubuntu as well as MacOs agents:

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:stripDswDebugDebugSymbols'.
> 1 exception was raised by workers:
  org.gradle.process.internal.ExecException: A problem occurred starting process 'command '/Users/runner/Library/Android/sdk/ndk/23.0.7599858/toolchains/llvm/prebuilt/darwin-x86_64/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-strip''

gradle-wrapper.properties:

distributionBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
distributionPath=wrapper/dists
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.8.3-bin.zip
zipStoreBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
zipStorePath=wrapper/dists

build.gradle:

buildscript {
    ext.kotlin_version = '1.5.30'
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
    }

    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.6.4'
        classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"
        classpath 'com.google.firebase:firebase-crashlytics-gradle:2.7.1'
        classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.10'
        classpath 'com.google.firebase:perf-plugin:1.4.0'
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()

        maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
    }
}

rootProject.buildDir = '../build'
subprojects {
    project.buildDir = "${rootProject.buildDir}/${project.name}"
}
subprojects {
    project.evaluationDependsOn(':app')
}

task clean(type: Delete) {
    delete rootProject.buildDir
}

Don't know if it matters, but due to some issues we're still on Flutter 1.22.6.

MaksimZhukov · 2021-10-04T09:08:27Z

All the images with Android NDK r23 have been deployed.

DaVaMa1 · 2021-10-04T09:09:43Z

Update, changing from gradle 3.6.4 to 4.2.0 seems to have fixed the issue for the pipeline for us.

miketimofeev · 2021-10-04T09:13:14Z

@DaVaMa1 there is no ndk/23.0.7599858/toolchains/llvm/prebuilt/darwin-x86_64/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-strip file as the error mentioned. Please file an issue in the https://github.com/android/ndk/issues
As a workaround you can uninstall ndk 23, which allows you to use ndk22 instead:

macOS:

SDKMANAGER=$ANDROID_HOME/cmdline-tools/latest/bin/sdkmanager
ndkFullVersion=$($SDKMANAGER --list | grep "ndk;23.*" | awk '{gsub("ndk;", ""); print $1}' | sort -V | tail -n1)
echo y | $SDKMANAGER --uninstall "ndk;${ndkFullVersion}"

ubuntu:

SDKMANAGER=/usr/local/lib/android/sdk/cmdline-tools/latest/bin/sdkmanager
ndkFullVersion=$($SDKMANAGER --list | grep "ndk;23.*" | awk '{gsub("ndk;", ""); print $1}' | sort -V | tail -n1)
echo y | $SDKMANAGER --uninstall "ndk;${ndkFullVersion}"

DaVaMa1 · 2021-10-04T11:02:40Z

O wow, thats a huge help, my bash is on hello world level so I would not have figured that out quickly by myself.
Workaround seems to work, our AppCenter build is green again, thanks!

This issue on the NDK tells that the behaviour is expected, so it seems to be working as intended.
I'm guessing that for Flutter builds the flutter sdk should have this fixed in some version, and as we're pretty far behind we don't get that fix.

DaVaMa1 · 2021-10-20T12:55:03Z

Small update for the work around, as we're still in need of it, I'm guessing a new ndk version 23 has been released and it now tries to uninstall an available version opposed to an installed version. I fixed it by using this

SDKMANAGER=/usr/local/lib/android/sdk/cmdline-tools/latest/bin/sdkmanager
ndkFullVersions=$($SDKMANAGER --list_installed | grep "ndk;23.*" | awk '{gsub("ndk;", ""); print $1}')
for version in $ndkFullVersions
do $SDKMANAGER --uninstall "ndk;$version"
done

instead of the old work around. Took me a while to debug on the agents, especially since this was my first time using bash.
Works on linux, not sure about mac but I'm guessing take the same approach. As long as only 1 version 23 is installed at the same time just changing --list to --list_installed should work

palumbo67 · 2021-11-05T14:04:55Z

SDKMANAGER=/usr/local/lib/android/sdk/cmdline-tools/latest/bin/sdkmanager
ndkFullVersions=$($SDKMANAGER --list_installed | grep "ndk;23.*" | awk '{gsub("ndk;", ""); print $1}')
for version in $ndkFullVersions
do $SDKMANAGER --uninstall "ndk;$version"
done

Has anyone managed to get to translate this to windows?

miketimofeev · 2021-11-08T07:56:44Z

@palumbo67 here you are, this powershell snippet will uninstall the latest ndk 23.

$sdkRoot = "C:\Android\android-sdk"
$sdkManager = "$sdkRoot\cmdline-tools\latest\bin\sdkmanager.bat"
$androidPackages = Get-AndroidPackages -AndroidSDKManagerPath $sdkManager
$ndkLatestVersion = Get-AndroidPackagesByName -AndroidPackages $androidPackages -PrefixPackageName "ndk;23" | Sort-Object -Unique | Select-Object -Last 1
& $sdkManager --uninstall "$ndkLatestVersion"
