Flutter: Flutter Doctor "Android SDK does not have the proper build-tools." is misleading

Created on 25 Oct 2016  ·  3Comments  ·  Source: flutter/flutter

The following output is misleading as the build-tools in my android sdk were up to date - I just hadn't installed the SDK platform part of the sdk.

$ flutter doctor

What exactly is missing when you get this message? I get it, I'm on Arch and I installed both android-tools and android-platform.
