Error: Ignoring unknown package filter 'build-tools-23.0.2'
Warning: The package filter removed all packages. There is nothing to install.
Please consider trying to update again without a package filter.

The problem is probably here

Line 306:41, Error: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; lineNumber: 306; columnNumber: 41; cvc-datatype-valid.1.2.1: '11b' is not a valid value for 'integer'.

This is running on a CircleCI box, and it has been running fine for a few days until now.

Anyone has an idea of whats happening?

Thanks in advance

Solution

The XML in question was versioned 11. The latest appears to be 12, and our builds are back on track as well. For a moment, the Android team appears to have fooled us.

Try rebuilding, but also note that some DNS etc could result in you not getting your update right away.
