buildozer fails to compile apk

I have problems trying to compile kivy for android. It doesn't matter what I do, I get the same error.
Will compile for the following archs: armeabi-v7a

#
# Then, invoke the command line with the "demo" profile:
#
#buildozer --profile demo android debug
i guess thats all the information i've got.
i've changed the versions in my main.py and in the specs and got nothing.
i'm gonna try to change my ubuntu version as well, and see what i can do

By default, buildozer looks for a line in your main.py of the form __version__ = 'something'. This is used to set the apk version, a required field.
You can either add this line to your main.py, or comment out the version check and uncomment the alternative version method on the next lines of buildozer.spec. This lets you set the version string in buildozer.spec itself.
Add __version__ = '0.1' at the top of your main.py file so you can package your application without any error.

[WARNING]: Missing executable: autoconf is not installed
[WARNING]: Missing executable: automake is not installed
[WARNING]: Missing executable: libtoolize is not installed
maybe it would help to install these?
on ubuntu
sudo apt install build-essential autoconf libtool
should provide these to you.
AttributeError: 'AnsiCodes' object has no attribute 'LIGHTBLUE_EX'
this seems to come from buildozer logger, and its usage of colorama, maybe try to pip-install a more recent version of colorama?
pip install --user -U colorama
hope this helps.

Issue with buildozer packaging a kivy app

I'm trying to package my kivy app and I'm having problems with buildozer. Some weeks ago it worked in a right way but today I got this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "build.py", line 517, in <module>
make_package(args)
File "build.py", line 365, in make_package

raise CalledProcessError(retcode, cmd)
subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command '['ant', 'debug']' returned non-zero exit status 1
I've been reading about this error (https://github.com/kivy/buildozer/issues/205) and maybe the problem is with the version of the sdk and ndk. Here I attach my buildozer.spec file because maybe I'm doing something in a wrong way.

As I have said at the begining of the post, a few weeks ago it worked properly and I don't know why now this is happening to me. Just in case the full log of buildozer is needed, I attach here the last lines of the output using buildozer --verbose android debug:

Well, after looking for the answer in some forums I have achieved the correct way to fix the issue. In the buildozer.specfile I changed the sdk version to the last version avaible:
# (int) Android SDK version to use
android.sdk = 24
After that I executed buildozer and tried to download the version I've specified in the .specfile, and this time the creation of the apk file was well done.

Kivy with Buildozer has error while packaging a simple application

I've just started learning Kivy and am trying to compile my first application. It's a super simple application that I have copied from a beginner tutorial. When I use
buildozer --verbose android debug
I get the following error
# Package the application
# project.properties updated
# Run '/usr/bin/python build.py --name TestApp --version 1.2.0 --package org.test.testapp --private /home/aphid/orkiv/.buildozer/android/app --sdk 14 --minsdk 8 --orientation sensor debug'

I initially thought it may have been a dependencies problem, but I've checked and I'm pretty sure I have everything required (javac etc, along with 32bit dependencies). So at this point I'm lost.
I'm using Arch Linux and buildozer with python2.7.

I've googled the hell out of this but can't even seem to work out exactly what the error means. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

It seems the problem is that using buildozer on Arch isn't as simple as just installing it. I followed the directions in this Github post for getting buildozer to work on Arch and that seemed to fix the problem.

"buildozer android debug" "TypeError" crash

So Yes I'm trying to build my first android app with kivy and buildozer. This is an error that I've searched for but haven't found a conclusive answer to. I'd give more details but I'm not sure how to read the output
Here is the end of the readout:

Although Buildozer supports Python 3, it uses Python-for-android to compile your APK. Python-for-android does not support Python 3. You need to make sure your code works with Python 2.7 and run buildozer using Python 2.7 to compile for Android.
