'Android sdkmanager tool found, but failed to run' for flutter doctor --android-licenses

Question

I've been trying to setup flutter with android studio on my laptop (Windows 11), and as I tried to agree to the android licenses the below error occured :

The first error in red says

'(C:\Users\jerry\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\cmdline-tools\latest\bin\sdkmanager.bat): "ProcessException: Cannot find file specified'

Apologies for the Japanese.

Below are the SDK Platforms installed :

Solutions attempted :

• Installing 'Android SDK Command-line tools (latest)' and 'Android SDK Tools (Obsolete)' as suggested by this thread : Android SDK Tools option is missing from SDK Manager in Android Studio 3.6.1

• Reinstalling Android studio
• Updating the sdkmanager
• Checking PATH variables (JAVA_HOME in the System Variables set to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_351)
• Running the command myself, which has allowed me to agree to the licenses, however the issue persists with the android licenses when flutter doctor is run.

I've tried my best at scouring the internet for solutions, but any help would be much appreciated. I have made another question for the

" 'git rev-parse HEAD' is not recognized as an internal or external command"

error here : " 'git rev-parse HEAD ' is not recognized" error when flutter doctor, but still works normally? I'm not sure if the two issues are connected, but if someone can also assist me on that issue I'd be extremely grateful.

Answer 1

Flutter doctor was posing the same licensing issue on Windows 10, even after I took the nifty cue here to manually run "sdkmanager.bat --licenses". The issue resolved when I set the recommended environment variables from SDK tools documentation. Flutter doctor reported some licenses were not accepted, but running "flutter doctor --android-licenses" took care of it.

Caveat, somewhat related: flutter doctor still chokes for two other issues:

✗ android-studio-dir = C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk ✗ Unable to find bundled Java version.

The workaround typically offered for this issue has been to copy the contents of C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\jbr into the C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\jre directory; alternatively to update the JAVA_HOME environment variable path to the jbr directory. This didn't work this time. I had to take the suggestion flutter doctor offered:

Consider removing your android-studio-dir setting by running: flutter config --android-studio-dir=

Hope I don't need that, but flutter doctor thereafter reported favorably "No issues found!" All green checks. Finally.

you need to check if your SDK version is old. In my case I had the same problem, and I fixed it by replacing the sdk version with the latest version. Greetings

Answer 3

It happen to me just now on my mac, after updating all sdk manager item to the latest version. Then, I downgrade the latest (version 11) Android SDK Commmad-Line Tools to version 10.

And it solve my problem.

Answer 4

I also stumbled to this problem when i upgrade Android Studio Electric Eel | 2022.1.1 Patch 1 to Android Studio Electric Eel | 2022.1.1 Patch 2.

The old java_home is

C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\jre

The new java_home is

C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\jbr

After setting correct environment variable flutter doctor setup license run smothly. Hopefully it can help.

Answer 5

Solution for macOS go to;

/Applications/Android Studio.app/Contents

copy & paste jbr file

change the file name of "jbr copy" to "jre"

run flutter doctor problem solved

Answer 6

Please try to

• install command line tools (latest)
• install Google Play licensing library

In the SDK Tools tab open the terminal and enter the command:

flutter doctor --android-licenses

and if necessary run:

flutter config --android-studio-dir="C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\bin"

then run flutter doctor --android-licenses.

Accept the license when it prompts.

Answer 7

In my case after downgrading my commandline-tools, I still have the same issue. What solved mine, Navigate to C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\cmdline-tools then delete/remove all other commandline-tools except folder 10, then run flutter doctor --android-licenses. I hope this work for you to. Thanks.

Answer 8

i have the same exact problem when running flutter doctor --android-licenses i solved it by re-set my android studio path for flutter with flutter config --android-studio-dir=<android_studio_instalation_dir>, in your case it would be

flutter config --android-studio-dir="C:\Users\jerry\AppData\Local\Android"

and then just run flutter doctor --android-licenses again, hope its solved

by the way i'm using latest Android SDK Command-line tools (11.0)

Answer 9

Don't forget to at least restart your terminal after setting JAVA_HOME.
