Azure AppCenter: Android build succeeds but no APKs found

I've been setting up Azure App Center build pipelines and after some troubleshooting, I managed to make our debug build succeed. The issue is that, it seems to not be able to find any of the generated APKs in the expected directories. Any ideas on why that is?
Here's the specific part of the output log:

I also have a post-clone bash script for generating the local.properties file which contains some secrets, and it seems to work just fine since the build uses it and goes through with it.
Sadly, I can't infer much from the logs, I'm not a DevOps engineer and have practically 0 experience in this sector.

android studio, c++, windows, filename too long

I'm building c++ application for android using Android Studio 2.3.3. Build fails with error:
Fatal error: can't create
CMakeFiles/kore.dir/C_/ab/android-native-build/Sources/src/banan/server/serverData/ServerCompound_banan_server_serverdata_ListValue_IdInt_banan_server_serverdata_ServerCompound_serverdata_ServerAchieve.cpp.o:
No such file or directory clang++.exe: error: assembler command failed
with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
The directory in which this file should be created exists and some other files were successfully created there.
I think this is because of path is too long. I've seen such messages previously and moving project to another directory with shorter path have solved the issue. But now I've already done this.

shorter your project location because path maximum 256 char long is accepted.

Android chromium full browser apk build issues

I trying to build chromium android apk with this instruction
But on GN configuration step I have following problem after arguments file editing and saving
ERROR at //build/config/android/internal_rules.gni:1966:13: Script returned non-zero exit code.
exec_script("//build/android/gyp/find.py",

Then I try manually download google play services with command from this issue thread:
sudo ./build/android/play_services/update.py download
And get this warning:
Your version of the Google Play services library is not up to date. You might run into issues building or running the app. Please run `./build/android/play_services/update.py download` to retry downloading it.
After that I try to build full browser apk
ninja -C out/Default chrome_public_apk
and get error:
ninja: Entering directory `out/Default'
ninja: fatal: chdir to 'out/Default' - No such file or directory
Is there the way to fix this issue and build working apk file?

This works for me:
Run this command at chromium folder:
git rebase-update
gclient sync
Download google play services:
sudo ./build/android/play_services/update.py download
Configure GN: gn args opt/Full
Add this line to file: target_os="android"
Build apk with command: ninja -C opt/Full chrome_public_apk

Android NDK - Building Limbo Android returns fatal error: config.h: No such file or directory

I'm trying to rebuild Limbo Android. I'm on Linux Mint.
All I changed was android-config.mak NDK_ROOT, exported variables NDK_ROOT. I've also exported NDK_MODULE_PATH to /home/pathtoandroidndk/sources, as per README instructions.
From terminal I do cd limbo-android/jni and then make.
Building returns this error:
jni/glib/glib/./libcharset/localcharset.c:22:20: fatal error: config.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make: *** [obj/local/armeabi-v7a/objs-debug/glib-2.0/./libcharset/localcharset.o] Error 1
make: Leaving directory `/home/me/limbo-android'
I've tried modifing Android.mk following instructions from Android NDK - Additional Include Directories and Unable to find header files - Android NDK, without success.
I came to conclusion that each module inside limbo-android needs it's own config.h file, while libcharset does not have one.
How do I solve this error? Is there a generic config.h (the one from NDK maybe?)
NOTE: I can build it without any problems on Windows 8.1 using mingw.

How to build apk using commandline

I Want to build apk using commandline, I am using ant server by using it I am building apk with commandline but when I give this command ant debug it shows error BUILD FAILED Unable to locate tools.jar and then it gives error source resource doesnt exist

This might be because your JAVA_HOME is not set to your C:\Program Files\Java\jdk folder.
instead it might be set to C:\Program Files\Java\jre so it's not getting tools.jar.
just check out this.
You can do this in this way:
C:\>set JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk
C:\>ant debug
You need tools.jar file from your jdk/lib/ folder.
