I am getting this error in jitpack, I've tried everything on the internet. Below is my error

I had the same problem. I downloaded the relevant SDKs via Android Studio, and at no point did it ask me about any licences. Another unnecessary problem. — Steve Smith, Aug 08 '19 at 08:23
I "accepted" the licenses, but it must have not saved since the android sdk directory was read-only. Chmod 777-ing the sdk directory made things work for me. `sudo chmod -R 0777 /opt/android-sdk` — nathanfranke, Jul 09 '21 at 00:17
@nathanfranke this is a good point - if the Android SDK directories are not writeable the licence acceptance doesn't stick. You can probably also get around that by running as the user that owns those folders, or is in a group ownership of the folders, depending on how the folders have been installed. — Dan Gravell, Sep 02 '21 at 12:25

You need to accept the licences before building.

According to Android SDK docs you can use the following command depending on the sdkmanager location: Docs on --licenses option seems to be missing though.

yes | sdkmanager --licenses

GNU/Linux Distributions:

yes | ~/Android/Sdk/tools/bin/sdkmanager --licenses

macOS:

export JAVA_HOME=/Applications/Android\ Studio.app/Contents/jre/jdk/Contents/Home
yes | ~/Library/Android/sdk/tools/bin/sdkmanager --licenses

Windows:

%ANDROID_HOME%/tools/bin/sdkmanager --licenses

Flutter:

> flutter config --android-sdk 'path-of-android-sdk'(only for ubuntu user)
> flutter doctor --android-licenses

@HendraWD If you have installed an extra Java in your computer(Note: Android Studio has it's own Java), You should make sure they have same version. Otherwise It may will occur this error. I solved it just now by setting "Android Studio/jre" path to JAVA_HOME. – Chinese Cat Jul 15 '19 at 07:35

For a Mac without Java installed, I had to `export JAVA_HOME=/Applications/Android\ Studio.app/Contents/jre/jdk/Contents/Home`, `cd ~/Library/Android/sdk/tools/bin`, `./sdkmanager --licenses`. – Graham Perks Oct 31 '19 at 14:38

FWIW: It also seems like only JDK < 11 is supported, and funnily enough, Ubuntu 18.04 comes with `openjdk 11` as the default jdk. After making sure I was using a supported java version, I instead got `Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine`, and I found that I had to invoke `sdkmanager` using sudo. – JHH Jan 28 '20 at 19:25

In Android Studio go to Tools -> SDK Manager.

Go to SDK Tools tab.

Select the Android SDK Command-line Tools (latest) and download by pressing Apply.

On Windows, you can find the sdkmanager.bat at

./sdkmanager.bat --licenses

You can find your sdkmanager in C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\tools\bin

OR

For those people not using android studio on window os. Go to your cmdline-tools\tool\bin and type cmd on the directory box to open the directory in your terminal. Then run sdkmanager --licenses

Problem: SDK license not accepted

Step 1: Open SDK Manager

After opening the SDK manager, open the SDK tools tab as shown below

Step 2: Check the option `Show Package Details`

It'll list out all the versions of SDK tools

Step 3: Install the required SDK tool version

Check the specific version of SDK tools that is complaining (for me, it was 29.0.3 as shown above in the first screenshot) from the list, accept the agreement in the dialog that opens next and you're done.

You can accept the license agreements of the stated SDKs by going to the SDK Manager (Settings > [Search for Android SDK]) then find the packages noted in the error message and find them there. Chances are, you'll find SDKs that are not fully installed and installing them will ask you to accept the license agreement.

I had the same problem when trying to run an app on my android device in a different project where I was working with some old version of tomcat8 and had to set the JAVA_OPTS variable and value. So I removed this system variable for JAVA_OPTS, which had a Variable value set to -Xms1024m (Remove the JAVA_OPTS system variable, but you can also store it for future use if you need to revert to using your old projects that might need it).

Then run the SDK manager bat file in your sdk path: PS C:\Users[your_pc_username]\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\tools\bin> .\sdkmanager.bat --licenses
