Hi, AharonDavid-6166. Do you mean building an Android app with C++? If so, please open Visual Studio Installer to install the Mobile development with C++ tool first. Then you'll be able to build a c++ native Android project.
For more details, you could refer to this doc:

Hi,
Yes, I know, but it doesn't exist in the Workload of Visual Studio Build Tools, there is no way to just build a c++ Android Project, I think that is out of the concept of the Build Tools addition. isn't it?
Thanks for the advice. For the problem about VS, it's suggested to send a feature request to the product team of VS. The best place to report Visual Studio tooling issues is via Visual Studio's "Report a Problem" menu and then follow them on the developer community site. Please see How to report a problem with Visual Studio - Visual Studio | Microsoft Learn
