Buildozer doesn't compile with kivy >= 2.2.0 or kivy==master in requirement

Description

I tried to package my kivy app with the master versions. But when I use kivy version > 2.1.0 or kivy=master I see this error while compiling it with buildozer. It compiles properly when I use kivy=2.1.0 in requirement. But I need kivy>=2.2.0 and I am unable to package my app with these versions of kivy. I've tried to compile with google collab and gihub too but the same error shows.

used this in requirement.

If this does not correspond to your system or settings please remove the file

Otherwise, simply type `make -j12' again to build the library,
or `make -j12 refdoc' to build the API reference (this needs python >= 2.6).

👋 @MdMuntasir,
Sorry to hear you are having difficulties with Kivy's Buildozer; Kivy unites a number of different technologies, so building apps can be temperamental.
We try to use GitHub issues only to track work for developers to do to fix bugs and add new features to Buildozer. This issue has been closed, because it doesn't describe a bug or new feature request for Buildozer.
There is a mailing list and a Discord channel to support Kivy users debugging their own systems, which should be able to help. They are linked in the ReadMe.
Of course, if it turns out you have stumbled over a bug in Buildozer, we do want to hear about it here. The support channels should be able to help you craft an appropriate bug report.

I have updated it. Maybe it will be helpful to understand the error . I couldn't find any solution to my problem. Mainly I am facing problem with kivy version in requirement. It would be great if you could help me with this issue.
