You have not accepted the license agreements of the following SDK components

💻 Uncovering the Mystery of Unaccepted SDK Licenses

So, you've been diligently working on your Android app, excited to see it come to life. But suddenly, a pesky error message pops up on your screen, reminding you that even the best-laid plans can go awry. It's probably something to do with those elusive SDK licenses!

😱 Don't panic! In this blog post, we'll unravel the mystery of unaccepted SDK licenses and guide you through some easy solutions to get you back on track.

🔎 Understanding the Problem

The error message you encountered reads: "You have not accepted the license agreements of the following SDK components." This usually happens when you haven't agreed to the license terms for specific SDK components that your project requires.

In your case, the components mentioned are "Android SDK Platform 23" and "Android SDK Build-Tools 23.0.1." The error message kindly advises you to accept the license agreements and complete the installation of the missing components.

🛠️ Simple Solutions

1. Using Android Studio SDK Manager

The easiest way to resolve this issue is to use the Android Studio SDK Manager. Here's how:

1. Open Android Studio.

2. Navigate to "File" >> "Settings" (on Windows/Linux) or "Android Studio" >> "Preferences" (on macOS).

3. In the Preferences window, select "Appearance & Behavior" >> "System Settings" >> "Android SDK."

4. Select the "SDK Platforms" tab.

5. Check the boxes next to "Android 6.0 (Marshmallow)" and "Android SDK Build-Tools 23.0.1" (or the corresponding versions mentioned in the error message).

6. Click "Apply" to begin the installation process.

7. Once the installation is complete, rebuild your project, and the error should vanish like magic! ✨

2. Manual License Acceptance

If, for some reason, you prefer the manual approach, here's what you can do:

1. Open a terminal or command prompt.

2. Navigate to the location where your Android SDK is installed. (In your case, it's probably /opt/android-sdk or another specified location.)

3. Inside the SDK location, look for the folder named tools.

4. Once inside the tools folder, run the following command: ./bin/sdkmanager --licenses.

5. You will be presented with the license agreements for various components.

6. Carefully read through each agreement.

7. Type y to accept each agreement. (Make sure to read the agreements thoroughly before accepting.)

8. Once you've accepted all the license agreements, rebuild your project, and the error should disappear.
