Google has found a lot of methods, how to solve this problem, it has troubled me for several days, thank you

Answer 1

you should add androidapi {latest android api version}" to your gomobile command.

You command will currently be:

gomobile bind -target=android -androidapi 21 goapp

Answer 2

ok I now its a little late but I found the solution for this and that was downloading the Unsupported NDK from the link down below and copy the package to the \AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\ndk directory along side with other versions of NDK. I also updated the ANDROID_NDK_HOME with the new directory.

https://github.com/android/ndk/wiki/Unsupported-Downloads

the version that worked for me was android-ndk-r20b-windows-x86_64.zip.

also as the blog says : Note: these obsolete versions of the NDK are no longer supported. Use a current release instead.
