hi @rvispute which java version are you using ?

[Entropy159]

I have this same problem. I'm not sure how to check my java version...

[Psudonem]

I have the same problem. It was working a few days ago, but suddenly I can't make android apps anymore.

[codeanticode]

@Psudonem @Entropy159 @rvispute what version of Processing are you using?

[ninzhan]

Running into this same problem. Stack is basically the same running Processing 4.3 with Open JDK 21.0.1. Device was a Moto g Stylus if that helps.

[Entropy159]

I think I used processing 4.3, and I trying it on a moto g power 2021. Works fine in the emulator though

[VSMent]

Same happening for me.
Genymotion API 21 emulator and API 33 physical device work fine, but Genymotion API 30 emulator fails.
processing-core v411

UPD:
processing-core v408 - v411 fails to launch with the error
processing-core v407 - works on all 21/30/33 APIs

UPD 2:
Same issue was reported in #729
