Support Android build tools 31.0.0 as it is not working (Error: No installed build tools found. Install the Android build tools version 30.0.3 or higher)

[almothafar]

Bug Report

Problem

It is a different issue from #1334 which sounds like the gradle file built is not really catching the minimum build tool version? Does it seem there is an issue still around this PR #1294 maybe? or #1212? Not sure, anyway, the version installed is 31.0.0 but it does not see it.

What is expected to happen?

To build a mobile app without any issues.

What does actually happens?

Building mobile app failed with error:

Checklist

• I searched for existing GitHub issues
• I updated all Cordova tooling to most recent version
• I included all the necessary information above

You need to install 30.0.3 or anything higher within the 30.x range. It can not be 31.x or higher.

If you read the description of the PR you linked: #1294

It says,

doFindLatestInstalledBuildTools will now limit its scope to the minimum version major. This means that if our minimum required version is 30.0.3, it will filter everything that is >= 31.0.0.

Basically, >=31.0.0 will not be used by default. 31.x is considered major and breaking and Cordova-Android 10 only supported the 30.x range, but we started at 30.0.3.

[almothafar]

@erisu why did you close this ticket then? consider it as to add support for 31 then? also, the message does not make sense still, it says higher than 30.0.3 so 31 IS higher

[almothafar]

This means that if our minimum required version is 30.0.3, it will filter everything that is >= 31.0.0

then 30.0.3 Should be MAXIMUM not minimum! it does not make sense at all

[erisu]

What if Google decided to release 30.0.99? Then it wont be used because you said maximum.

[almothafar]

What if Google decided to release 30.0.99? Then it wont be used because you said maximum.

They released 31.0.0 then I doubt there will be any new version under 30.x.. also I'm not going to discuss the message which is still misleading, I think this issue should be still open, for that I edited the title.

[erisu]

And please look at the issue tracker, we already had ticket request 31:

#1288

It is better to not be flooding the tracker with same requests.
