Help compiling OsmAnd Android on MacOS

[Nikolaos Beratlis]

Hi,

I am not an app developer but I have some experience with programming in other languages. I am trying to compile the OsmAnd Android on MacOS. I read the steps explained here:

https://osmand.net/docs/technical/build-osmand/how-to-compile-the-android-version

I first setup the developer environment by typing the two commands:

repo init -u https://github.com/osmandapp/OsmAnd-manifest -m readonly.xml
repo sync

I then downloaded the source code by typing

git clone https://github.com/osmandapp/Osmand.git android

I exported the environment variables ANDROID_SDK, ANDROID_NDK and ANDROID_HOME with the correct paths.

I then typed:

cd android/OsmAnd && ../gradlew assembleNightlyFreeLegacyFatDebug

but I get this error:

23 warnings and 1 error generated.

make: *** [/Users/nikosb/Library/Android/sdk/ndk/29.0.14206865/build/core/build-binary.mk:422: obj/local/x86/objs/osmand/__/__/__/native/src/java_wrap.o] Error 1

BUILD FAILED in 48s

57 actionable tasks: 51 executed, 6 from cache

For the SKD version I have the following directories in Library/Android/sdk/build-tools

34.0.0, 35.0.0 and 35.0.1

and openjdk version 23.0

I also tried opening the project in Android Studio and Running it by I get this error:

33 tests completed, 7 failed
        Caused by: java.io.FileNotFoundException at SearchUICoreGenericTest.java:23

Can I get help with resolving these issues and compiling the Android code?

Regards,

Nikos
