I believe I'm facing the same issue on macOS Mojave 10.14.5 using Python 3.7

Install & run steps:
sudo -H pip3 install --upgrade kivy
sudo -H pip3 install --upgrade buildozer
sudo -H pip3 install --upgrade cython

[cd to my kivy app]
buildozer init
[edit names and set log_level=2]
buildozer -v android debug

With the same error output as #842 (comment)

That should be fixed with p4a.branch = develop thanks to @opacam via kivy/python-for-android#1951
also share your buildozer.spec and full log when doing bug reports

non-system libraries in linker flags: -lpython3.7m
Android NDK: This is likely to result in incorrect builds. Try using LOCAL_STATIC_LIBRARIES
Android NDK: or LOCAL_SHARED_LIBRARIES instead to list the library dependencies of the
Android NDK: current module

@AndreMiras still cant find -lpython3.7m

Weird, I don't know much about OSX, but thanks to opacam we now have it integrated with our CI.
So what I can only recommend to begin with is to compare the build input/output and configurations between yours and our CI.
See last build on both Travis and github actions went green for macOS
https://travis-ci.org/kivy/python-for-android/jobs/621094582
https://github.com/kivy/python-for-android/runs/334852153
To check the configuration read through the p4a Makefile e.g. https://github.com/kivy/python-for-android/blob/2610330/Makefile as well as CI configuration e.g. https://github.com/kivy/python-for-android/blob/2610330/.travis.yml for Travis and https://github.com/kivy/python-for-android/blob/2610330/.github/workflows/push.yml for GitHub Actions.
