Hi Kivy community, 

Im currently trying to package a android Kivy app using Buildozer. Im using a Mac with Sequoia (15.3.2) and I am using VScode. 

When I run buildozer android debug  I got the following output and error message attached to this post. 

I have tried to tried to diagnose the problem myself but have had no success so far.

# (list) The Android archs to build for, choices: armeabi-v7a, arm64-v8a, x86, x86_64
# In past, was `android.arch` as we weren't supporting builds for multiple archs at the same time.
android.archs = armeabi-v7a

Yup, when updating buildozer check what spec may need an update
against new defaults:

https://github.com/kivy/buildozer/blob/master/buildozer/default.spec

Also for development use only one architecture to noticeably speed up
build times.. when all works as expected you may create from scratch
multi target build :-)

Standard troubleshooting hints: remove ~/.buildozer and
(..)/yourapp/.buildozer and try from scratch with minimal / default
setup, run from terminal instead ide, etc.

Have fun :-)

Read informations about that line:
#android.permissions = android.permission.INTERNET, (name=android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE;maxSdkVersion=18)

and check my post from this group. Maybe my problem was similar:

That unfortunately is something that I can't do due to the fact that my os is incompatible with Google Play.

This application is not compatible with my operating system. It will not work.

I think I may have found the root of the problem, openssl1.1 is no longer supported and does not appear to work on my machine. It looks like there is a lot of compatibility issues between kivy and buildozer and my computer.
