Switching from LC 9.6.1 to 9.6.5 gives me the following error attempting to test on an android device:

Unable to build app for testing: could not encode class bundle - compilation failed with an internal error
java.nio.file.invalidpathexception: illegal path chars <> 2 ...

What is this? Any recommendations?

Alright- solved it. Here's what you'll will need to do when you install 9.6.5:

1) Go into Android Studio, open SDK Manager, and click the SDK Tools tab in the middle.
2) Install "Android SDK Build Tools 32-rc1." This is actually addressed in the lesson "LiveCode and Android Studio" with a new yellow box about a third of the way down, but it is described in this way:

LiveCode 9.6.5+ requires Build-Tools v30+. It is suggested you install v30.0.3, since this version is extensively tested. If you are using an older version of LiveCode, then you have to install Build-Tools v27.0.3.

In the SDK Manager window, check "Show Package Details" to allow older versions to show.

3) Go back into livecode and edit your standalone settings.
4) Under "Signing" select "Sign for development only"

I was using 9.1 Indie and now 9.6.5. You need to install 9.6.5 to utilize LiveCloud.

Is this correct? I was under the impression that the most recent stable release is 9.6.4, and 9.6.5 RC2 is the current pre-release version?

Thanks @JereMiami, noted!
I hadn't noticed any issues with liveCloud, but then that's because i'm not currently considering any Android projects!
