Unable to build .apk because 'Permission Denied'

[Adrian Flores]

I'm trying to run an example from github: https://github.com/Android-for-Python/Multi-Service-Example and I am unable to run the buildozer -v android debug command to build the .apk. I get error saying I do not have permission to do the following:

/usr/bin/mv: cannot move 'Python-3.9.9' to '/mnt/c/Users/Owner/source/repos/Test/.buildozer/android/platform/build-arm64-v8a_armeabi-v7a_x86_64/build/other_builds/hostpython3/desktop/hostpython3': Permission denied.

Not really sure what the issue is. I built the buildozer.spec using 'buildozer init' and made the changes described in the github and I get that error. When I try to create a fresh project (main.py, new buildozer.spec, etc.) I also get this error, so I don't think it is a problem with the github repo. Any ideas? Thanks.

Remove debug=true in main.py file.

And change file and folder permission to 777

Chmod 7777 [filename]

That worked, thanks!

The issue is computer system management. Particularly there is a problem in your WSL account management.

More generally you are building on the Windows partition:

Are you still building on the windows partition?

There is an issue with Buildozer install, re-check the install dependencies

And more generally post the full error message including lines before for context.
