Again: AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'decode

I just did a pip install and had the same issue

Found a solution on stackoverflow as well: I had same issue, i just edited the error file and remove stdout. from : avdmanager('list', 'target').stdout.decode('utf-8').split('\n'). to : avdmanager('list', 'target').split('\n') https://stackoverflow.com/questions/75405703/python-for-android-attributeerror-avdmanager-bug-when-building-with-buildozer

Same previous bug: https://github.com/kivy/buildozer/issues/756

          Thanks for the bug report. Yes this is a bug recently introduced in https://github.com/kivy/python-for-android/pull/1475

Until this is fixed, you can edit pythonforandroid/recipes/android/__init__.py and remove decode('utf-8') part from the self.ctx.bootstrap.name.decode('utf-8') line
