I have an android project named SimpleVideoEditor, and I would like to submit it into F-Droid. So I was following this CONTRIBUTING.md tutorial by F-Droid. Now in the building-it subsection, they say 

Make sure that `fdroid lint app.id` doesn't report any warnings. If it does, fix them.

So I tried $ fdroid lint com.fahimfarhan.simplevideoeditor and it gave me this error:

Error

com.fahimfarhan.simplevideoeditor: Build generated by `fdroid import` - remove disable line once ready

At first I didnot even know that this is an error and so I submitted my app. But later I got an Email that says my build failed. So I am trying to fix it. What does this error even mean? I don't understand how to fix this issue. I did Google but the search result doesnot make any sense. Sorry for not including anything else because this is all I have. I am confused. Could anyone help me?

I found the fix to this problem. Their must be a line inside build in your yaml file which might be something like this.

disable: Generated by import.py - check/set version fields and commit id

You have to remove this line and then you will pass all the lint errors. Your builds list should look something like this.

Builds:
  - versionName: '2.0'
    versionCode: 2
    commit: commitId
    subdir: app
    gradle:
      - yes

The auto generated looks something like this -

Builds:
  - versionName: '2.0'
    versionCode: 2
    disable: Generated by import.py - check/set version fields and commit id
    commit: '?'
    subdir: app
    gradle:
      - yes

Remove the disable line and add the commit and you will be good to go.

    HI. Thanks for your answer. After following your steps, now I get this error:``` ERROR: Could not build app com.fahimfarhan.simplevideoeditor: OSError while trying to execute /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gradlew-fdroid clean: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gradlew-fdroid' ``` . So a `gradle-fdroid` file is missing from my system I guess. Any ideas how to fix it? – Qazi Fahim Farhan Jul 11 '20 at 14:22
  • Which OS are you using? They only support Linux. Can't find the link right now but they listed it somewhere(will update if I find it). You can try building by pushing your code to gitlab which will in turn run a build on pushed code. – ritwikshanker Jul 11 '20 at 20:24
