Notice: No usable Android build tools found

If you are receiving this error today it’s because of the new release of Cordova Android. There are several options to mitigate it:

  1. Pin your android build engine to version 13. You can do this by adding the following line to your config.xml at the top level:
<engine name="android" spec="13.0.0" />
  1. Use our beta build servers to build your project. You can do this by checking the “Build using beta servers?” checkbox on the upload page.

If you have trouble with this error after following these instructions please let us know.

This should now be resolved in all build environments.

I already had the engine set to this setting. I’ve updated the SDK build tools to 36 but the error persists

We just released support for cordova-android engine 15, which was released yesterday and requires newer build tools. Please give it another try and let me know!
