Warning: Ignoring platform '.DS_Store', not a folder

This warning pops up when I bring up the AVD Manager in Eclipse (3.5) on a Mac开发者_如何转开发 with OSX 10.6.4. Any ideas of what is causing this?

I got this problem after updating to a new SDK Platform for Android, getting the following message in Eclipse after building my Android project

[2010-12-08 13:19:46 - SDK Manager] Warning: Ignoring platform '.DS_Store', not a folder.

I usually install the Android SDK under /Developer/SDKs/android-sdk-mac_x86/. There is a folder "platforms" which contains the downloads of your AVD Manager and OSX apparently created the hidden folder ".DS_Store" inside it. So if you navigate there using your Terminal and type ls -la you may see the folder and you can delete it using rm -rf .DS_Store accordingly. Then everything should work fine again.

.DS_Store is a hidden device file on OS X.

I'm not quite sure what is causing this, but it seems that Eclipse is trying to add this to file to SVN. Try adding .DS_Store to your SVN ignore pattern to see if this goes away.

Similar to what Jiri said, but instead I ran the following in the project folder instead of the Android SKD.

rm -rf .DS_Store
