Answer 1

I had faced the similar problem in Mac book pro 13", macOS Sierra; version 10.12.3. I deleted the system environment variables for location to android sdk & gradle previously which I added. When I built it with system environment variables; Jenkins downloaded the sdk & it run without failure.

You can also refer to the book Expert Android Studio by Murat Yener, Onur Dundar chapter 10 : Continuous integration; where they showed how to build on Jenkins.

Answer 2

I found temporary workaround for that:

Create that same device locally (I did it on my personal laptop, a MAC) with Android AVD manager. Then copy this newly created device to Linux server /var/lib/jenkins/.android/avd/ folder (.ini and .avd folder).

And it worked, also Google Maps is supported.
