Android Unknown Command 'crunch'

I just installed Eclipse and Android SDK in Mac OS X.

I imported the project to Eclipse and i get the Unknown command 'crunch' error while running the project.

How should I solve this issue.

Please help me


I just update "Android SDK Platform-Tool" to 8 Rev and "Android Asset Packaging Tool" from android sdk manager,

and then it works.

Have a try!


  1. After updating to ADT r14, go to Window -> SDK Manager (in Eclipse)

  2. Check on 'repository', uncheck "installed"

  3. Wait for packages to load, then select all support packages, accept all and install them

  4. Restart Eclipse

  5. Run your apps on new ADT r14, without 'crunch' errors

Worked for me :)


Updating Android SDK Tools to r14 and Android SDK Platform-tools to r8 also solved this problem for me.

I had to check 'Installed' in the SDK Manager in order for the updates to be listed (even though I had the previous versions already installed). Checking only the New/Updates box meant they wouldn't show up in the list.
