Breaking changes
All the Android tools will be installed using sdkmanager from the Command line tools package rather than sdkmanager from SDK tools.
Target date
Image deployment will start July, 12 and will take 3-4 days.
The motivation for the changes
SDK Tools package is deprecated and no longer receiving updates, google recommends using command-line tools instead.

Possible impact
There should be no visible impact, but it is better to switch your pipeline to use command line tools' sdkmanager as well.
Virtual environments affected
Mitigation ways
Change the path to the sdkmanager in your code:
- Windows
$env:ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/tools/bin/sdkmanager.bat -> $env:ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/cmdline-tools/latest/bin/sdkmanager.bat
- Linux & macOS
$ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/tools/bin/sdkmanager -> $ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/cmdline-tools/latest/bin/sdkmanager
