Building from buildozer resultes in TypeError: can only concatenate str (not "bytes") to str

[guysoft]

Describe the bug
I am building the basic mapview example from the repo, I added

# (list) Garden requirements
garden_requirements = mapview

But when I build I get a build error.

To Reproduce

main.py

from kivy_garden.mapview import MapView, MapMarker
from kivy_garden.mapview.clustered_marker_layer import ClusteredMarkerLayer
from kivy.app import App

class MapViewApp(App):
    def build(self):
        layer = ClusteredMarkerLayer()
        
        a = MapMarker()
        # mapview.add_marker(, cls=MapMarker)
        layer.add_marker(lon=32.092, lat=34.807, cls=MapMarker)
        
        mapview = MapView(zoom=11, lat=32.092, lon=34.807)
        mapview.add_widget(layer)
        return mapview

MapViewApp().run()

Buildozer add:

garden_requirements = mapview

You can also run the command explicitly:

garden install --app mapview

run

buildozer -v android debug deploy run

Expected behavior
Should build.

Thanks for the bug report, but using this as a garden_requirements is no longer required.
Use it as normal requirements instead and make sure your buildozer version is up to date

Thanks used that as a workaround. version 1.2.0 .

Perhaps the buildozer init should not include garden_requirements field?
