python - kivymd app crashes on android phone ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'PIL'

Question

My Kivy app crashes on launch on android phone. buildozer logcat shows the following error:

02-21 17:09:58.777 14941 14979 I python  :  ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'PIL'
02-21 17:09:58.777 14941 14979 I python  : Python for android ended.

Here are my buildozer.spec requirements:

requirements = python3,kivy==2.0.0,git+https://github.com/HeaTTheatR/KivyMD.git,sdl2_ttf==2.0.15,python-dateutil,requests,urllib3,chardet,idna,plyer,android,jnius,oscpy

As I understand, only the KivyMD depends on PIL. The app works perfectly on my mac and WAS working before on the android phone. The error just started to occur. So, I'm really confused and would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

As you might already know, KivyMD depends on PIL, not Kivy. You are using the latest version of KivyMD using git in your app, which depends on PIL. To remove the error just add pillow in the requirements of your buildozer.spec file.
