Build android app offline with buildozer, how ?

[ToR]

I'm having zero success building a Kivy app offline...

Using Python 3.7, Kivy 1.11.1, buildozer 1.2.0 on mac os 10.13.6 works when online.

Offline is a no-go.

I can readily admit I do not know exactly what is going on here, so my simple question:

Is it at all possible and if so, are there a link to some hints you can share ?

I don't think there is any documentation that suggests one can run Buildozer without a net connection. In the general case a net connection is definitely required. You may find a special case, but clearly you could not rely on it.

OK, good to know it's supposed to work this way, my hair was turning grey...

So net connection mandatory but may I ask why ?

At my present location net connection is sporadic and it's a PITA when building and testing.

It is hard to believe I'm the only one who wants to build offline, yes ?

Hi, have you found a solution to this problem? I'm trying to build offline too. 

I'm wondering why inspite of the libraries being already installed in the system, Buildozer still downloads while compiling.

Regards,

Sruthi

No, I took Roberts answer for gospel and have not made any further attempts.

It's a pity though, there really are cases you do not want to expose to an online environment, guess Kivy/Buildozer et.c. is not for those...

Buildozer is supposed to work offline,  if it does not please open a issue. With details logs.

Clarification. "Buildozer is supposed to work offline".

Buildozer is supposed to be able to build offline once the distribution/requirements are downloaded. Unless you change any app requirements/buildozer.spec requirements.

If for some reason currently buildozer fails to build offline even when there is no change to requirements. Then maybe a bug creeped up that made things not work that way.

So, Please do open a bug on issue tracker with exact detail on what is going on and detailed logs.

There you have it...

The main issue is that even when all the packages are installed,  running "buildozer android debug" automatically starts cloning the required libraries. 

As you can see here, I've already installed the python-for-android library, but buildozer tries to clone it from github. I also added the folder location path, but it didn't make any difference

:~/sruthi/kivy_examples/signup_android$ sudo buildozer android debug
# Check configuration tokens
Buildozer is running as root!

This is not recommended, and may lead to problems later.
