Appcelerator: [ERROR] Application Installer abnormal process termination. Process exit value was 1

I know this question has been asked lots of times, but answers given did not solve my problem so far.

When trying to build an app to either a Android-device/-simulator/-package, Appcelerator comes with this error:

[ERROR] Application Installer abnormal process termination. Process exit value was 1

  • I checked weither all Android-sdk's where installed correctly.
  • In the terminal I did: appc logout -D / appc login
  • I cleaned the project, including deleting Build- and Resources-folder by hand
  • Ran: appc setup
  • Some other terminal-lines I stumbled upon: npm install alloy -g and npm install appc-cli-titanium
  • Installed Appcelerator-updates
  • Added <tool-api-level>17< /tool-api-level> to tiapp.xml
  • This line is in the Android-manifest: <uses-sdk android:maxSdkVersion="26" android:minSdkVersion="16" android:targetSdkVersion="25"/>

With the console in trace-mode, this is what I get:

use build tools 26, with CLI 6.3 and TiSDK 6.3. So also install those build tools properly using the android tools - Rene Pot
In Android Studio I already installed Android 8.0 (SDK/Sources/Google APIs Intel x86 Atom Image/etc.) ... but how do I 'use' it? Do you mean I have to target it using this tag in the tiapp.xml? <uses-sdk android:maxSdkVersion="26" android:minSdkVersion="16" android:targetSdkVersion="25"/> I use this as sdk-version: <sdk-version>6.3.0.GA</sdk-version> ... not sure how to use CLI - xs2bas
use 26 as target, not 25. Have you installed build tools 26? Thats different as any image/sdk - Rene Pot
In Android Studio I checked all Android 8.0 stuff, so as a part of that, Build Tools 26 are installed as well I guess? - xs2bas
Your target is 25, build tools are separate tab in android studio - Rene Pot

You can probably solve this by reverting back to cli 6.2.2 6.3 replaces the old version of file minification to allow ES6 syntax but this is obviously causing a problem in you case.

Just execute "appc use 6.2.2" in the command line (without the quotes of course) and make sure you see Alloy 1.9.x used in the logs before the lines you pasted.
