Before change:
export ANDROID_HOME=/Users/Gajendra/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools
export PATH=$PATH:${ANDROID_HOME}

After change:
export ANDROID_HOME=/Users/Gajendra/Library/Android/sdk
export PATH=$PATH:${ANDROID_HOME}/platform-tools

Hi Saurabh,

Thanks for reporting the issue.

Could you confirm which adb version are you using ?
And by it happening sometimes - do you mean the Nexus 6P issue sometimes goes away?

from bundletool.

Your screen density and sdk version captured in the nexus6p.json seem to be off for the device in question.

But the main cause for the error is this line:

List of APKs is empty: the main APK must be specified.

It seems like you've created an empty .apks file.
You can check that there's actual apks in the .apks file by unzipping it.

@tdobek: Yes, It went away after some time, it seems that problem with the command bundletool get-device-spec.
Anyways, I'll keep an eye on it and report it later if I face the similar issue.

from bundletool.

We've improved the get-device-spec error handling in 0.4.2, so whenever this issue reoccurs, you should be notified to retry the command. Closing this issue.

Is adb present in your ANDROID_HOME directory under platform-tools? Also, is it executable?

from bundletool.

Yes it is presented in platform-tools and even i am able to run command
adb devices

Which is working fine

But when i use this with bundletool it does not work.
See the screenshot

from bundletool.

Does running $ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools/adb devices also work?

Off the track question but why it is working now?

from bundletool.

The ANDROID_HOME variable should be set to the path to the root of the Android SDK, not platform-tools or any of the other subdirectories.
