What's the location path of Android SDK on your system and also make sure that Android SDK path is correctly added in Appcelerator Studio-> Preferences... -> Studio -> Platforms -> Android? – Prashant Saini

You appear to be using Build Tools SDK 24.#. This is not yet supported by Appcelerator. You should un-install this version and install 23 (the latest supported by appcelerator).

I recommend watching the Compatibility Matrix from time to time.

After that select the minSDK and targetSDK in Tiapp.xml like this:

<android xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <manifest android:versionCode="1"
        android:versionName="1.0.0" package="app.my" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
        <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="16" targetSdkVersion="23"/>
    </manifest>
</android>

See my Android SDK folder looks like this:

Try to look at your Android SDK folders and check if there is anything related to version 24. And also do these tasks after deleting everything related to 24 version:

  • Remove the uses-sdk tag from tiapp.xml and let Titanium SDK do stuffs on its own.
  • Delete build and Resources folders from your Titanium project root directory
  • Clean and run the project now.

Check your version of node.js with this command:

node -v

If your version is higher than 4.4.2 that's the problem. You can fix it with:

sudo npm cache clean -f
sudo npm install -g n
sudo n 4.4.2

I had the same issue and got resolved after changing my node version to 4.4.2. Just updating it here if that may help anyone.
