    In buidlbox 3 I cannot compile an android, using android studio
    get error
    "can not locate path to tools.jar"

    apparently they dumped his dependency a fair while ago!

    This is SO frustrating! I just want to compile my game, following the instructions provided :-(

    Do I need the jDk or is the jRe enough?

    AFAIK everything is up to date

    Any ideas how to compile a simple android game?

    Spent HOURS going round in circles with this now.

    It seems a little furonic that a NO CODE game builder can be such a total PITA to compile to an actual game.
    I appreciate it is complicated, but the point of buildbox is so that it is NOT complicated!

    First you can start to learn how to code, this will help you on the long run...


    Second try to export your game with encryption option (from settings) turned off


    3rd reach out support@buildbox.com and thy will help you with this type of issues


    Thanks,
    Vlad

    Thanks Vlad. It was with Encryption off.

    I can code, but not in a non coding platform ;-)
    I'm trying to get stuff done faster, by NOT coding in rival game platforms.
    But if I can't compile an APK, then it doesn't matter how great my non code game is. Does it!

    So how do you not having a missing tools.jar in your environment?
    Did you install the java jDe as well as the jRe?
    What environment variables did you have to add to get yours to work?

    This was a clean install of android studio 4 - are you using something else?
    The dependency to tools jar, I "believe" is from the code that buildbox 3 (latest) create.

    So to me it seems like a code sync issue.
    But yours is working?
    But exactly "what" is yours?

    That's what I'm really asking. Because the default does not work when everything is the most current.
    Presumably it did at some point.
