Description

TIMOB-18113 added the ability to specify a specific Android build tools level as well as failing when such tools are newer than the known-supported version. Instead, the tooling should clearly warn the user that they're using a newer version than what is known to work but the build should continue.

    PR https://github.com/appcelerator/titanium_mobile/pull/6649 Functional review steps: 1. Create a new project that includes Android as a target 2. From the CLI, ti build -p android -b and observe no specific log messages regarding build tools version. 3. Open the folder containing your Android build tools (e.g. ~/android-sdk/build-tools) and copy the newest folder (e.g. the 21.1.0 folder). Name the new folder one full version new (e.g. 22.1.0) 4. From the CLI, ti build -p android -b and observe the WARN log messages regarding build tools version. These appear at the beginning of the output, following the banner. The app builds as usual (due to the -b flag, it does not launch the emulator or install to a device) 5. Rename the copied build tools folder to something lower than the lowest version (e.g. 12.1.0). 6. From the CLI, ti build -p android -b and observe no specific log messages regarding build tools version.

    Verified the fix. We should get this warning if the build tools are newer than the supported range & the build should continue: 
       [WARN] :   Android Build Tools 22.0.1 are too new and may or may not work with Titanium.
   [WARN] :   If you encounter problems, select a supported version with:
   [WARN] :      appc ti config android.buildTools.selectedVersion ##.##.##
   [WARN] :    where ##.##.## is a version in /Users/lokeshchoudhary/Desktop/android-sdk-macosx/build-tools that is <=22.x
    The log shows 22.0.1 as I had manually edited the name of the folder but the tools are indeed 22.0.1 Closing. Environment: Appc Studio : 4.1.0.201505071004 Ti SDK : 4.1.0.v20150604094312 CLI : 4.0.2-rc2 Alloy : 1.6.0 MAC Yosemite : 10.10.3 Appc npm : 4.0.0 Appc CLI : 4.0.1 Node: v0.10.37 Nexus 5 - Android 5.1.1
