How to build aapt2 for macOS?

[Chen Dai]

Hello,

Because of "Platform development on MacOS isn't supported as of June 22, 2021"
Is there somewhere I can find out how to build the aapt2 for mac?


Thanks a lot!

Building device images is not supported on MacOS as of then, but we still support building the SDK tools. You will need to checkout the source tree on a case-sensitive filesystem (apfs works, it just needs a case-sensitive volume set up). Other than repo, the only thing you should need to install is Xcode and/or the xcode command line tools, but most of the same instructions for Linux should work otherwise. Then to build aapt2, you just need to run something like:

  source build/envsetup.sh

  lunch aosp_arm-eng

  m aapt2
