Building a React Native app can sometimes present challenges, especially when it comes to configuring the Android environment. One common issue developers encounter is the “Failed to find Build Tools revision 23.0.1” error. This guide will help you understand the steps needed to resolve this issue effectively.
Understanding the Problem
The error typically arises when the specified version of Android SDK Build Tools is not installed, or there is a mismatch between the installed version and the version specified in your project’s configuration.
Solution Steps
1. Install the Required Build Tools Version
Ensure that the required version of Android SDK Build Tools is installed. Follow these steps:
- Open Android Studio and navigate to SDK Manager.
- Check the “Show Package Details” option.
- Locate and install the Android SDK Build Tools version
23.0.1.
2. Update Your Project’s Build Configuration
If installing the specific build tools version is not feasible, consider updating your project’s build configuration to use a version already installed. This can be done by modifying the build.gradle file located in your project’s android/app directory:
android {
compileSdkVersion 23
buildToolsVersion "23.0.3"
defaultConfig {
...
}
}
3. Run SDK Manager with Elevated Permissions
If you encounter permission-related issues, try running the SDK Manager with root permissions using commands like sudo or su.
4. Verify Environment Variables
Ensure your $ANDROID_HOME environment variable points to the correct SDK installation path. Sometimes, a misconfigured path can lead to issues.
