I love Scala, but last time I tried to build an Android app using it (about a month ago), I just got various weird errors in IntelliJ when trying to build it. Eventually I just gave up and rewrote my app in Kotlin instead.

But yeah, it's absolutely my first choice for JVM or web work.

That sounds weird. How did you build it? Can you paste the SBT error?

It happened with both the make button and when running it (yes, I had removed the "Gradle-aware make" step and replaced it with android:packageDebug from the SBT shell plugin).

Sadly, I don't have the error message anymore, and it seemed to work when building from the command-line tool. I suppose I could have kept going like that, but it's very nice to have the proper debugging tools that an IDE provides. :/

Which version of sbt-android do you use?

1.6.1, I think, but I'm not sure. I was stupid enough to delete my project files...
