p4a apk command results in: No such file or directory: 'src/main/assets/private.mp3'

[aricliu-markov]

Still getting this error despite seeing possible fixes in other issues(#1262) and cloning from master today.

p4a apk --private /Users/aricliu/helloworld/ --package=org.example.myapp --name "My application" --version 0.1 --bootstrap=sdl2 --requirements=python2,kivy --arch=armeabi-v7a

is the command I'm running.

Full traceback is:

Same problem here on Fedora 28 with latest version from pip. (Having this issue with the python3crystax build)

[AndreMiras]

seems to be the exact same as #1320 that was apparently solved with:

Update: instead of the latest regular version on pip, now I tried this version: https://github.com/kivy/python-for-android/archive/master.zip - and that one works! tada

Apparently fixed on master.
