fails on arm64

I'm trying to build an Android app on my ARM 64 phone. I'm using a Debian 11 chroot via an app called Linux Deploy on my phone. I think I have all the required binaries such as build tools, platform tools, etc. I did not get these from the sdkmanager, but through Debian repos. I am stuck on not being able to use the build tools - it says I haven't accepted some licenses. I got this Python sdkmanager because I couldn't find any sdkmanager from official channels for ARM 64.

This program seems to have a lot of problems.
