MSBuild sometimes fails with error: “XA5300: Error finding Xamarin.Android SDK”












0















We develop apps for iOS and Android using Visual Studio 2017 / Xamarin.
Using Jenkins on a Mac Mini, we build the apps nightly and run UI tests.



But the Android build sometimes fails with the error:




XA5300: Error finding Xamarin.Android SDK




But if I run the same build a few minutes later, it may work ok (without changing the sources). It may also not work but eventually it will work.



So the build sometimes works and sometimes fails. It seems random. The actual build command is as follows (in Jenkins):



PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/share/dotnet;export PATH
PATH=$PATH:/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Commands; export PATH
cd $WORKSPACE
nuget restore myApp.sln

Sleep 5
msbuild myApp.sln /t:restore /p:Configuration="Jenkins"

Sleep 5
msbuild myApp.sln /t:build /p:Configuration="Jenkins" /p:PlatformTarget="AnyCPU"

Sleep 5
msbuild $WORKSPACE/myApp/myApp.Android/myApp.Android.csproj /t:SignAndroidPackage /p:configuration="Jenkins" /p:PlatformTarget="AnyCPU"


Fairly simple really.
The correct android sdk path is specified in




users/.config/xbuild/monodroid-config.xml.




Has anyone a suggestion as to how I can solve this problem?
Thanks, Sean

  • Manual build or a Jenkins build when it works the second time?

  • I use Jenkins each time to run the build

  • Have you tried changing the order of the build?
