No *.APK File Generated - release-android, Debug-android etc.

Hi,

After installed new update and ran my project with the expectation of getting ..../Build/output folder. But no output folder created.

Though I got error message on the cmd when building the files.

What could cause the issue?

Hello edunt,

The latest releases touch a bit the Javascript core with enhancements to the Gauge control. This means you must delete the "_Compiled" directory by yourself. However, this is not apparently your problem, so, please, post here the error message you get to try to help you.

Hello,

Take a look at the Android SDK manager and look the below "Extras" are installed:

Hi David,

Thanks it is working now.

Why do I need to installed those extras?

Hello edunt,

We need such extras if we want to deal with the AdMob plugin, for example.

Ah, ok. Now I know.
Thanks
