"one or more files did not pass the validity check" error when trying to build android-emulator from the aur

Support AUR
1

I was trying to build the “android-emulator” package from the air by using this command
pamac install android-emulator
but it shows this error one or more files did not pass the validity check.
Does anyone know of a fix,
thank you,
have a nice day.

Built fine for me.

This is a quick package to build. Now might be the perfect time for you to learn how to build AUR packages manually.

Oh, and regarding

didn’t the output tell you which file (or all of them) that failed?

Try refreshing databases in pamac first.

Thanks everyone for the help,
I refreshed the databases and I found that I need to update,after the update I’ll try to build it again and if it still doesn’t work I will try to built it manually and I will report back later.

I updated but got an error in the lines of “failed configuring” or something like that,
but still I tried to build using the command, it didn’t work,

built it manually and it worked.

Congrats. First time is usually the scariest; now, you know you don’t have to depend on any kind of ‘helper’ to install an AUR package.

I acually have manually built one or more AUR pakages before this.
Anyway,thank you so much
