Issue with buildozer packaging a kivy app
<p>I'm trying to package my kivy app and I'm having problems with buildozer. Some weeks ago it worked in a right way but today I got this error: </p>

<pre><code>Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "build.py", line 517, in &lt;module&gt;
    make_package(args)
  File "build.py", line 365, in make_package
    subprocess.check_call([ANT, arg])
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 540, in check_call
    raise CalledProcessError(retcode, cmd)
subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command '['ant', 'debug']' returned non-zero exit status 1
</code></pre>

<p>I've been reading about this error (<a href="https://github.com/kivy/buildozer/issues/205" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/kivy/buildozer/issues/205</a>)  and maybe the problem is with the version of the sdk and ndk. Here I attach my <code>buildozer.spec</code> file because maybe I'm doing something in a wrong way. </p>

#    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
#    List as sections
#
#    You can define all the "list" as [section:key].
#    Each line will be considered as a option to the list.
#    Let's take [app] / source.exclude_patterns.
#    Instead of doing:
#
#[app]
#source.exclude_patterns = license,data/audio/*.wav,data/images/original/*
#
#    This can be translated into:
#
#[app:source.exclude_patterns]
#license
#data/audio/*.wav
#data/images/original/*
#


#    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
#    Profiles
#
#    You can extend section / key with a profile
#    For example, you want to deploy a demo version of your application without
#    HD content. You could first change the title to add "(demo)" in the name
#    and extend the excluded directories to remove the HD content.
#
#[app@demo]
#title = My Application (demo)
#
#[app:source.exclude_patterns@demo]
#images/hd/*
#
#    Then, invoke the command line with the "demo" profile:
#
#buildozer --profile demo android debug

<p>As I have said at the begining of the post, a few weeks ago it worked properly and I don't know why now this is happening to me. Just in case the full log of buildozer is needed, I attach here the last lines of the output using <code>buildozer --verbose android debug</code>: </p>
