Question

I’m trying to build and it appears successful, but no APK file is generated. Can somebody give me some steps to help debug this? I’ve been trying to follow closely along with the documentation here, and have also installed and setup Swappy.

Same issue. Almost exact same system specs too. It runs fine, does not generate. Trying to figure out if there’s an issue with the build system?

Hang on–Unsure if I solved it, or just a lead, I need to test more. But I dug around in the files. C:\Users<user>\godot\platform\android\detect.py
There’s a line for “generate_android_binaries”
I swapped this from false default to true default, and ran it again. I now have the apks. I need to test if they work, but it looks like at some point perhaps the option changed to generate_android_binaries and the documentation isn’t updated, perhaps?

Edit: Export worked. I’ll test my particular app, but this may be solved.

Awesome! That did the trick! Thank you so much. How did you find that one?

I think this should be reported as an issue. If it’s not an issue with detect.py or somewhere else in code, it would be an issue with the documentation. How should I go about reporting this?
