Hi @kotyara85,

The SDK tool is working in the place where you added it. However, you are facing the issue Hit an unsupported type invalid type for invalid type, from which can be because you have an error in the implementation of (AppService)*_type.go or because of the local configuration is not accurate.

See here that this issue is common when the local env is not properly set. PS.: Just as a tip, you can looking for similar issues always to see if it was faced for others and how it was solved.

Also, see that this scenario is documented in: https://sdk.operatorframework.io/docs/faq/#i-see-deepcopy-errors-and-image-build-fails-how-do-i-fix-this

In order to fix this, you simply need to export the GOROOT environment variable
$ export GOROOT=$(go env GOROOT)

PS.: may the #2979 (comment) help you see how Go works inside and outside of its path.
