The problem is I can't find the Android SDK on my machine! I assume it's there because otherwise the program wouldn't compile and run through Android Studio? Perhaps that's a bad assumption? I'm new to Macs (I'm used to Windows) so I don't know the best way to search for the Android SDK. Make sure the Android SDK platform-tools/ directory is included in your PATH environment variable, then execute:

All I want to do now is be able to build the app and install it on device from the command line as opposed to Android Studio. Swift is an intuitive programming language. Xcode includes the Xcode IDE, Swift and C/C++/Objective-C compilers, Instruments analysis tool, simulators, the latest SDKs, and hundreds of powerful features: Innovative tools help you create great apps.


I have installed Android Studio on my MacBook Air (OS Version 10.11 El Capitan) and have successfully written a small "hello, world" app and installed on device (Nexus 7) and ran on AVD. The Xcode IDE combined with the Swift programming language make developing apps easy and fun.
