Can't Skip tools find Android SDK and commandline tools which have already installed #532

On a Mac machine where we have installed the latest Xcode and Android Studio and also sets PATH variables for Android SDK and Android platform-tools, why skip downloading android platform-tools and commandline-tools again?

It is true that the dependencies are redundant. Skip doesn't technically require that Android Studio be installed, since it uses the Homebrew dependencies for all the tools it needs to build the Android side of the app (gradle, adb, etc.). Also, Android Studio might be installed in a non-standard location, or it might be managed by Jetbrains Toolbox or some other app management tool. So in order to Skip to have predictable locations for the tools it needs, we rely on Homebrew's versions. |
