Original error: packageAndLaunchActivityFromManifest failed. Original error: Could not find 'aapt' in PATH

I'm trying to set up an android automated test with appium on mac.

I have already set android home in my bash_profile:

export ANDROID_HOME=/Users/peter.szabototh/Library/Android/sdk
export ANDROID_SDK_ROOT=$ANDROID_HOME
export PATH=$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools:$PATH
export PATH=$ANDROID_HOME/tools:$PATH
export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home)
export PATH=${JAVA_HOME}/bin:$PATH
export PATH=${PATH}:${ANDROID_HOME}/tools/
export PATH=${PATH}:${ANDROID_HOME}/platforms-tools/
export PATH=${PATH}:${ANDROID_HOME}/build-tools/29.0.2/
export PATH=${PATH}:${JAVA_HOME}

In my sdk/build-tools folder, which I have added to the enviremental variables, I have aapt and aapt2 as well. However, I get this error message:

An unknown server-side error occurred while processing the command. Original error: packageAndLaunchActivityFromManifest failed. Original error: Could not find 'aapt' in PATH. Please set the ANDROID_HOME or ANDROID_SDK_ROOT environment variables to the correct Android SDK root directory path.

An interesting thing is that I can build my android apk with no problems, which use the same enviremental variables.

I am running appium with sudo and from my bash_profile.

Here is my full log:

First make sure that you've got the SDK installed correctly and that your path in ANDROID_HOME points to the folder containing the /bin folder.

Then try running:

source ~/.bashrc

or log-in and log-out to apply the new changes in the bash file.

You could also reuse your ANDROID_HOME variable:

export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/tools:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/tools:$ANDROID_HOME/tools

This way you don't have to change all the variables if the location of the SDK changes.
