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

Question

I downloaded the latest Android SDK tools version 24.4.1. I used the command line to install SDKs. I typed y when asked

Do you accept the license 'android-sdk-license-c81a61d9' [y/n]: y after that install succeeded.

But when using Gradle 3.1 to build, the follows shows up

You have not accepted the license agreements of the following SDK components: [Android SDK Platform 23, Android SDK Build-Tools 23.0.1]. Before building your project, you need to accept the license agreements and complete the installation of the missing components using the Android Studio SDK Manager. Alternatively, to learn how to transfer the license agreements from one workstation to another, go to http://d.android.com/r/studio-ui/export-licenses.html

I checked ~/.android and /opt/android-sdk where Android tools are put. Neither contain folder named licenses.

The way to accept license agreements from the command line has changed. You can use the SDK manager which is located at: $ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/tools/bin

e.g on linux:

cd ~/Library/Android/sdk/tools/bin/

Run the sdkmanager as follows:

./sdkmanager --licenses

e.g on Windows:

cd /d "%ANDROID_SDK_ROOT%/tools/bin"

Run the sdkmanager as follows:

sdkmanager --licenses

And accept the licenses you did not accept yet (but need to).

For more details see the Android Studio documentation, although the current documentation is missing any description on the --licenses option.

Warning

You might have two Android SDKs on your machine. Make sure to check both ~/Library/Android/sdk and /usr/local/share/android-sdk! If unsure, fully uninstall Android Studio from your machine and start with a clean slate.

Update: ANDROID_HOME is deprecated, ANDROID_SDK_ROOT is now the correct variable

In Java 11 this will crash with NoClassDefFoundError. To work around this I had to modify `sdkmanager` by adding the following jars at the end of the `CLASSPATH` variable: `:$APP_HOME/lib/jaxb-core.jar:$APP_HOME/lib/jaxb-impl.jar:$APP_HOME/lib/jaxb-api.jar:$APP_HOME/lib/activation.jar`. All these jars can be downloaded from Oracle website. – Peter Dec 23 '18 at 22:28

This worked for me, although, on MacOSX the licenses are put in a folder outside this path. You'll need to move the licenses into the sdk directory. – Gus Mar 29 '19 at 15:54
In my case, the android sdk folder had two instances of sdkmanager: one in $ANDROID_HOME/bin/sdkmanager and another on $ANDROID_HOME/tools/bin/sdkmanager Had to run ./sdkmanager --licenses on both and the problem went away – Gubatron May 07 '19 at 02:47

My problem was also that I had 2 versions of sdk, on Windows. After accepting the license in C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\tools\bin, it still wasn't working.

You can install and accept the license of the SDK & tools via 2 ways:

1. Open the Android SDK Manager GUI via command line

Open the Android SDK manager via the command line using:

# Android SDK Tools 25.2.3 and lower - Open the Android SDK GUI via the command line
cd ~/Library/Android/sdk/tools && ./android

# 'Android SDK Tools' 25.2.3 and higher - `sdkmanager` is located in android_sdk/tools/bin/.
cd ~/Library/Android/sdk/tools/bin && ./sdkmanager

View more details on the new sdkmanager.

Select and install the required tools. (your location may be different)

2. Install and accept android license via command line:

Update the packages via command line, you'll be presented with the terms and conditions which you'll need to accept.

- Install or update to the latest version

This will install the latest platform-tools at the time you run it.

# Android SDK Tools 25.2.3 and lower. Install the latest `platform-tools` for android-25
android update sdk --no-ui --all --filter platform-tools,android-25,extra-android-m2repository

# Android SDK Tools 25.2.3 and higher
sdkmanager --update

- Install a specific version (`25.0.1`, `24.0.1`, `23.0.1`)

You can also install a specific version like so:

# Build Tools 23.0.1, 24.0.1, 25.0.1
android update sdk --no-ui --all --filter build-tools-25.0.1,android-25,extra-android-m2repository
android update sdk --no-ui --all --filter build-tools-24.0.1,android-24,extra-android-m2repository
android update sdk --no-ui --all --filter build-tools-23.0.1,android-23,extra-android-m2repository
# Alter the versions as required                      ↑               ↑

# -u --no-ui  : Updates from command-line (does not display the GUI)
# -a --all    : Includes all packages (such as obsolete and non-dependent ones.)
# -t --filter : A filter that limits the update to the specified types of
#               packages in the form of a comma-separated list of
#               [platform, system-image, tool, platform-tool, doc, sample,
#               source]. This also accepts the identifiers returned by
#               'list sdk --extended'.

# List version and description of other available SDKs and tools
android list sdk --extended
sdkmanager --list

Go to your $ANDROID_HOME/tools/bin and fire the cmd

./sdkmanager --licenses

Accept All licenses listed there.

After this just go to the licenses folder in sdk and check that it's having these five files:

android-sdk-license, android-googletv-license, android-sdk-preview-license, google-gdk-license, mips-android-sysimage-license

Give a retry and build again, still jenkins giving 'licenses not accepted' then you have to give full permission to your 'sdk' directory and all it's parent directories. Here is the command:

sudo chmod -R 777 /opt/

If you having sdk in /opt/ directory.

I have resolve the problem by using the command:

Go to: C:\Users\ [PC NAME] \AppData\Local\Android\sdk\tools\bin\ (If the folder is not available then download the android SDK first, or you can install it from the android studio installation process.)

Shift+Left click and Press W,then Enter to open CMD on the folder path

Type in the cmd: sdkmanager --licenses

Once press enter, you need to accept all the licenses by pressing y

CHECKING THE LICENSES

Go to: C:\Users[PC NAME]\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\

Check the folder named licenses

android-googletv-license
android-sdk-license
android-sdk-preview-license
google-gdk-license
intel-android-extra-license
mips-android-sysimage-license

WAS TESTED ON CORDOVA USING THE COMMAND:

cordova build android

-- UPDATE NEW FOLDER PATH --

Open Android Studio, Tools > Sdk Manager > Android SDK Command-Line Tools (Just Opt-in)

SDKManager will be store in :

Go to C:\Users\ [PC NAME] \AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\cmdline-tools\latest\bin

Type in the cmd: sdkmanager --licenses

Documentation to using the Android SDK: https://developer.android.com/studio/command-line/sdkmanager.html

Thank you!!! Using the sdk-manager available after following your install directions and path you suggested above (I use Arch Linux so --> `/home/[USER]/Android/Sdk/cmdline-tools/latest/bin/sdkmanager`) allowed me to get past the licenses issue! The `sdkmanager` installed by Android SDK here `/opt/android-sdk/tools/bin/sdkmanager` seems to be broken. — Efosa, Mar 09 '20 at 08:01

I solved the problem by opening the Android SDK Manager and installing the SDK build tools for the version it is complaining about (API 24).

I had also updated using the command line previously and I suspect the Android SDK Manager has a more complete way of resolving dependencies, including the license.

On macOS you can use `yes | ~/Library/Android/sdk/tools/bin/sdkmanager --licenses` to automatically accept them all, on Linux use `y | ~/Library/Android/sdk/tools/bin/sdkmanager --licenses`. `y` is basically the same as `yes`, it just outputs `y` to accept until there is no more input requested and the process stops. – dragon788 Mar 09 '21 at 19:34
