sdkmanager: Update every installed package.
$ sdkmanager --update
try on your machine

The command "sdkmanager --update" is used to update your Android SDK (Software Development Kit) to the latest available version.

Here's the breakdown of the command:

  • "sdkmanager": It is a command-line tool provided by Android SDK that helps manage the Android SDK packages.
  • "--update": It is an argument or option that tells the sdkmanager to update the installed SDK packages.

When you run this command, it checks for updates available for installed SDK packages on your system and downloads and installs the newer versions if available. This ensures that you have the latest tools, libraries, and system images necessary for Android development.

It is recommended to periodically update your Android SDK to stay up-to-date with the latest improvements, bug fixes, and security patches.
