Hi. I have the problem with aapt. That when I’m using it.

```auto
aapt: command not found

```

My system machine is Mac. When sign-apk app I saw these. But I can’t use the aapt command.

```auto
android_home: /Users/vagrant/Library/Developer/Xamarin/android-sdk-macosx
aapt: /Users/vagrant/Library/Developer/Xamarin/android-sdk-macosx/build-tools/28.0.3/aapt
zipalign: /Users/vagrant/Library/Developer/Xamarin/android-sdk-macosx/build-tools/28.0.3/zipalign

```

Hello there!

I would say that it is available after the install missing android tools step 🤔  
if it is not pre installed on the stack by default.

Ya. so how can I using that aapt in command bashscript. Example

```auto
#!bin/bash

aapt ...

```

But always get aapt command not found. Or I need to type this path manually `/Users/vagrant/Library/Developer/Xamarin/android-sdk-macosx/build-tools/28.0.3/`

Hy, yes like this `/Users/vagrant/Library/Developer/Xamarin/android-sdk-macosx/build-tools/28.0.3/aapt` it finds it and runs the command.

Ya. Thanks a lot . I’ll try it. I’m just afraid that later the path can be change right ? Like some of these value in the path `vagrant` and `28.0.3`

No worries, `vagrant` will stay the default user, and I think `aapt` is no longer getting updates for there is already an `aapt2` out 🙃
