This appears to be a bug with the way sdkmanager locates the SDK installation folder.
A work-around is to set the flag --sdk_root. You can move ANDROID_HOME declaration higher, then use it with the subsequent commands.
- export ANDROID_HOME=$PWD/android-sdk-linux
- yes | android-sdk-linux/tools/bin/sdkmanager --sdk_root=${ANDROID_HOME} --licenses
- android-sdk-linux/tools/bin/sdkmanager --sdk_root=${ANDROID_HOME} "platform-tools" "platforms;android-${ANDROID_COMPILE_SDK}" >/dev/null
Also, moved blanket license acceptance command to the first command to clean up the echo y parts.
Oddly enough if you run sdkmanager --sdk_root=${ANDROID_HOME} "tools" it will upgrade tools from 3.6.0 to 26.1.1 and sdkmanager no longer has this issue. This update takes time and bandwidth and isn't exactly necessary with the work-around.
