Execution failed for task ':core:generateStone'.
> A problem occurred starting process 'command 'python''

...

Caused by: java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "python" (in directory "/Users/gs/repos/_external/dropbox-sdk-java/core"): error=2, No such file or directory

... which sounds like Python isn't installed or isn't available from PATH.

Granted, I didn't have Python installed, so I went ahead and installed Python 3.12.2. That makes python3 available from PATH, not python. So I went to the pythonCommand.set("python") line and changed "python" to "python3".

That didn't help:

/usr/local/bin/python3: No module named stone.cli

Please update the readme with instructions on how to get the Android example app up and running with the required local machine dependencies.

Thanks for the report! I'll ask the team to fix this up.

To work around this, I suggest using the published version so you don't need to build it locally. To do so, replace implementation(project(":android")) in examples/android/build.gradle with:

    implementation 'com.dropbox.core:dropbox-core-sdk:6.0.0'
    implementation 'com.dropbox.core:dropbox-android-sdk:6.0.0'
