Buildozer build reinstalling everything and taking too long

[Barreira Brothers]

I'm building a simple app with kivy and builozer, I have made the first apk file already, but every time I make a litle change to my app and run buildozer -v android debug again, It takes the same amout of time as the first time I did it, about 2 hours and I get this line right after the process starts:

[INFO]:    No existing dists meet the given requirements!

It builds the apk successfully, but every try is 2h.

Why it doesn't reuse the previously built dist?

Is it a missing package?

Are you using WSL2 with a windows directory?  That can take forever and cause spurious rebuilds.  If this is the case, try finding a linux path to work with.

Regards,

Juan

Thanks for the tip, i'm gonna try it"

You are welcome.  The clock on WSL2 is broken, if you are using a laptop and it goes to sleep.  Make sure you restart WSL2 or reset the clock manually when it wakes from slumber.

See the last paragraph https://github.com/Android-for-Python/Android-for-Python-Users#install

I know you want to build your app, but try this first
