Very good synopsis, Mark. Some years ago I solved the invisible Library folder by adding it to the sidebar, which allows me to see all the content like any other folder.

To do that, hold down the Option key while opening the Go menu. The Library folder should show up. Or if that doesn't work you can also use the Go menu item to go to "Users/<user name>/Library/". Once you're there, drag the folder to the sidebar.

It saves a lot of trouble.

I like your method Jacque. I am going to add it to my internal document for the next time.

Glad you like my view on the Android situation. I have to learn it every time I set up a new computer. Together we can help each other through this. I found Android to be a lot easier than the steps needed to set up for iOS.

Oh yes, for sure. I find Android a lot easier to work with in all kinds of ways.

You mentioned that you could do what you like so you chose Java 1.8. (Heh. A man after my own heart.:)) That was good advice, since as far as I know, that's the only version of Java that works right now.

Mark,

Thanks so much for your post. This was what I (and probably everyone else having issues getting android deployed) was missing when moving from 9.6.5 to 9.6.9. They should update the lesson (https://lessons.livecode.com/m/2571/l/6 ... oid-studio) with your post.

It's the combination of the two API Levels 11 & 12, Android SDK Build-Tools 30.0.3, and "jdk1.8.0_xxx" that works with LC 9.6.9.

Thanks again-

Thanks for this.

I also had to install "Android SDK Tools (Obsolete) 26.1.1 to help Livecode find "tools" folder and recognize the SDK.
