I am new with mobile development and I am trying to do an application for playing Tarot with Python. I did the application on computer first and it works well (I used PyQt for the GUI). The GitHub project is here: . I transposed the Python code with Kivy and I build with buildozer but I don't understand why the folders images and locales are not in the APK file (see below).

I checked the folder .buildozer/android/app/ and the folders images and locales exist but not in the APK file after extraction of it (if I understand, in folder assets but it contains only private.tar file).

I saw this link but without success: How do I correctly include data folders into an APK with Buildozer? FileNotFoundError. I searched other options to put in buildozer.spec but without success too. At the end of the compilation with buildozer, I have the following message, I don't know if it is linked with my problem (if yes, I don't know how to deal with):

Copying main.py's ONLY, since other app data is expected in site-packages.

I tried to write correct things in setup.py and MANIFEST.in but I don't know if it really does something.

So, I don't see what is wrong or what is missing...
