Kivy Buildozer error base.dm not found kivy icon no access errno 13

Question

Python: 3.12.5 OS: Arch Linux Buildozer: 1.5.0 Kivy: 2.3.0

I'm trying to package my application into an APK, it crashes on launch because it can't find base.dm, and I have no clue what base.dm is, I'm not referencing it anywhere. It can't access the kivy icon because access is denied, even though it's in its owned folder. I've tried different buildozer versions, buildozer android clean, different kivy versions, different android api versions, everything.

buildozer.spec: https://pastebin.com/deiWJibD error log: https://pastebin.com/K6M5cjA4

imports:

You can solve it with adding the extension to include into the package bundle, the error log: 09-12 16:12:26.142 11236 11236 W ziparchive: Unable to open '/data/app/~~ql2Jq9YfNRCGbNIldqZjGQ==/org.test.beaware-8Kne713KgRgZxFIBdoRMTw==/base.dm': No such file or directory suggests that your app or python looks for the file base.dm but No such file or directory, and your buildozer.spec file includes only the file extensions source.include_exts = py,png,jpg,kv,atlas,txt one more is missing the dm extension (assuming this is a file).

If the file base.dm is not supposed to exists at the beginning, you can manage the error adding the lines to your code:

import os
if os.path.isfile("base.dm")==False: pass
