Stuck at ".android/repositories.cfg could not be loaded."
Solution 1
Create the file! try:
mkdir -p .android && touch ~/.android/repositories.cfg
Solution 2
Actually, after waiting some time it eventually goes beyond that step.
Even with --verbose
, you won't have any information that it computes anything, but it does.
Patience is the key :)
PS : For anyone that cancelled at that step, if you try to reinstall the android-sdk package, it will complain that Error: No such file or directory - /usr/local/share/android-sdk
.
You can just touch /usr/local/share/android-sdk
to get rid of that error and go on with the reinstall.
Solution 3
This happened on Windows 10 as well. I resolved it by creating an empty repositories.cfg file.
Solution 4
For Windows 7 and above go to C:\Users\USERNAME\.android folder and follow below steps:
- Right click > create a new txt file with name repositories.txt
- Open the file and go to File > Save As.. > select Save as type: All Files
- Rename repositories.txt to
repositories.cfg
Solution 5
Creating a dummy blank repositories.cfg works on Windows 7 as well. After waiting for a couple of minutes the installation finishes and you get the message on your cmd window -- done

brew cask install android-sdk
==> Caveats We will install android-sdk-tools, platform-tools, and build-tools for you. You can control android sdk packages via the sdkmanager command. You may want to add to your profile: 'export ANDROID_HOME=/usr/local/share/android-sdk'
This operation may take up to 10 minutes depending on your internet connection. Please, be patient.

ANDROID_HOME
is the wrong variable. The home variable should be something likeexport ANDROID_HOME=$HOME/.android
. It is where things like a developer's keys are stored. Based on the SDK and path, I believe they meanexport ANDROID_SDK_ROOT=/usr/local/share/android-sdk
