I am fairly new to Kivy and Android app development. I did a basic hello world app with Kivy and was trying to make an APK from it with Buildozer. These were the errors that I see:
-compile:

I don't understand where the problem is coming from. I tried specifying version from main.py but that doesn't help either. Any pointers? Thanks in advance.
