ImportError: No module named plyer with android_new as a target

[mrhdias]

I am not able to run the apk with "android_new" (new toolchain) as a target but work fine with "android" (old toolchain)

$ buildozer --verbose android_new debug deploy run logcat

buildozer.spec

# (list) Application requirements
# comma seperated e.g. requirements = sqlite3,kivy
requirements = pycrypto, plyer==master, kivy==master

Buildozer output:

This sounds more like a Python for Android instead of a buildozer error. I've already filed an issue in the Python for Android project (kivy/python-for-android#840) which pertains to imports, although this specific error may not be related to the defect(s) I have filed the issue for.

If I copy the plyer module to the project root, I can run the apk with "android_new" as a target without problems.

cp -r ~/.local/lib/python3.5/site-packages/plyer ~/Work/pilothostel

nice to see you here :)

Closing as stale, plyer should currently be working fine.
