Codemagic’s latest build image fully supporting Android SDK platform 35, NDK 26.3, and AGP 8.3.0 for Flutter 3.22.1?

[RNaimy]

If you are looking for help, please confirm the following...

• I confirm I have searched the Docs, Codemagic Sample Projects, and GitHub Discussions.
• I confirm the software versions on my local computer match the ones in CI environment (e.g. Xcode version, Gradle version). See here
• I confirm I am able to do a fresh clone of the repository and build the project on my local computer.

Which mobile framework are you using?

Flutter (Dart)

Steps to reproduce

1. New Flutter project created with Flutter 3.22.1 (fvm managed).
2. Targeting Android SDK platform 35 with compileSdkVersion 35 and targetSdkVersion 35.
3. Codemagic build set to Default Workflow using Mac mini M2.
4. Android NDK 26.3 installs correctly during build.
5. Build fails during :app:bundleDebugResources task with aapt2 error:
   RES_TABLE_TYPE_TYPE entry offsets overlap actual entry data.
6. Flutter Fix suggests: Using compileSdk 35 requires Android Gradle Plugin (AGP) 8.1.0 or higher.
7. My local environment builds correctly.

Expected results

The Flutter 3.22.1 project should build successfully for Android on Codemagic, targeting Android SDK 35, with NDK 26.3 and AGP 8.3.0 (or latest compatible). Local builds work fine with this configuration.

Actual results

RES_TABLE_TYPE_TYPE entry offsets overlap actual entry data.

Hello @RNaimy,

Flutter support for your project's Android Gradle Plugin version (Android Gradle Plugin version 7.3.0) will soon be dropped

What AGP version do you use in your project? It seems you are using 7.3.0, you can check your project's android/settings.gradle, to check where 7.3.0 is being set.

First, @dam-ease — THANK YOU for your help so far!

When I checked, I was on AGP 7.3.0. So, I updated:

Then I launched a new build

Got this error: Fail Message:
aapt2 E ... Failed to load resources table in APK '/usr/local/share/android-sdk/platforms/android-35/android.jar'.
error: failed to load include path /usr/local/share/android-sdk/platforms/android-35/android.jar.

Steps I took
In android/app/build.gradle, I changed:
compileSdk = 34
targetSdk = 34

In android/build.gradle, I updated:
buildscript {
repositories {
google()
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:8.3.0'
}
}

Launched another build — same error. Build ID: 6860577da41515b36f833366
Fail Message: Failed to load include path /usr/local/share/android-sdk/platforms/android-35/android.jar

Context from ChatGPT (helping me troubleshoot)
This strongly suggests something broken or corrupted in Codemagic’s Android SDK platform setup, not in my local files.
This type of error almost always indicates:
• The platform SDK (android-35) files on the build server are corrupted or incomplete.
• The android.jar file in that SDK folder is invalid or has a bad resource table.

Double-checked
• android/app/build.gradle: ✅ updated and pushed
• android/build.gradle: ✅ updated and pushed
• gradle.properties: ✅ reviewed
I have verified that my repository pushes are clean and up-to-date (git status is clean).

Codemagic Question:

• It looks like my Codemagic Android build is failing on android-35 due to a corrupted android.jar.
• Can you please reinstall or reset Android SDK platform 35 on your builders? Or switch the build environment to use platform 34?

@dam-ease Anything else you’d recommend I do on my side? Or is downgrading to compileSdk 34 still the recommended temporary workaround?

Next Steps:
If needed, I can also share full logs or give you direct access to the repo for additional inspection.

Hello @RNaimy,
Does downgrading to android-34 work for you at the moment?
Also, with android-35, are you able to build this project locally. I did a Google search and came across this thread with a similar error message - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/78627947/failed-to-find-platform-sdk-with-path-platformsandroid-35

Hi CodeMagic (@codemagic-ci-cd)

I’m on the free plan and using GitHub Discussions for support.
I’m running into consistent Android build failures on android-35, with this error:

aapt2 E … Failed to load resources table in APK ‘/usr/local/share/android-sdk/platforms/android-35/android.jar’.
error: failed to load include path /usr/local/share/android-sdk/platforms/android-35/android.jar.

I have already checked and updated:

• android/app/build.gradle
• android/build.gradle
• gradle.properties

ChatGPT suggested this points to a corrupted or incomplete android-35 SDK installation on Codemagic’s side.

Could someone from Codemagic verify or reinstall the Android SDK platform 35 on your build servers?
If there’s anything else you'd recommend I try locally, please let me know.

Thank you so much for your help!
