Can't build for android on Mac with buildozer

Question

I wrote a program in python and wrote a .kv file and I can run it and it works properly. But when I want to build it for android using buildozer after navigating to the working directory and typing buildozer init and then in the spec file adding the icon and the presplash, after that i write buildozer -v android debug. Then it types different things. Few things I think might be important are: /bin/sh: dpkg: command not found,

and after that:

configure: error: internal configure error for the platform triplet, please file a 
bug report
Exception in thread background thread for pid 89524:

And what's probably most important:

I'm aware of that, that it's a miserable way of showing what I got. I'm following this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zk0MeJ7YIMc Can any one help? Thanks in advance!

Hey I was having this issue as well. This post seemed to fix it for me.

https://github.com/kivy/python-for-android/issues/2568

Basically just try adding this to the requirements in your buildozer.spec file.

    requirements = python3==3.9.12,hostpython3==3.9.12
