I'm working on a project using Titanium & Alloy and I'm finally able to run the iOS version, but I got an error with Android when I run the appc ti build -p android command.
Everything seems to work until the Building Java source files step

where I get the following error
An uncaught exception was thrown!

I never used Titanium (6.0.1.GA - CLI 5.0.14), don't have access to previous developer and didn't use much Node (6.11.2) also even if I know JavaScript, so I'm stuck. I tried many things like changing the Titanium SDK, Java JDK (1.8.0_121), Android SDK (6.0 API 23 rev 3), but nothing works and iOS is running now. I'm not even sure where this error happens. I have the issues even if I use the AppceleratorStudio to try to run the app.
Any idea? I spent too much time on this and really need to move forward... Thanks a lot!
Update
Here is the full log (too big to paste directly in SO) when I run the appc run -p android --build-only -l trace command: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/13087140/StackOverflow/build_android.log
The solution to this issue was to upgrade the Android SDK Tools from 23.0.2 to 26.0.1, even if not tested and supported by Appcelerator Titanium for now.
