Can't create APK file

[Julie Smith]

Hi - I am very new to this and have been struggling with this for ages now and wondered if you could help? 

I am trying to create an APK file on my Mac (10.15.3) - in particular the error message doesn't make much sense to me - ERROR: Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'zip-safe'

Consider using the `--user` option or check the permission. 

Below is the full error message that I get:

Android packaging is not yet supported on MacOSX. For that, I would suggest using VirtualBox + a linux installation.

[Julie Smith]

Thank you - I will try that

[Irurik Soft Labs]

I recently tried it and it works. The build APK also runs perfectly on android handset.

But when Mac support will be done?

[Will Tejeda]

Don't mean to hijack the tread but since Mac is was mentioned ... Is there an easy way to do the opposite ? And have an osx vm on Windows ?
