What I’ve tried: Installed both 32 and 64 bit of jdk. Re-installed Unity and adt bundle. Installed all tools in the sdk and latest versions. I’ve tried to build different projects. Searched the forums for answers. I’m at a loss.
folders that are inside the build-tools folder (appdata>local>android>sdk>build=tools)
and
also delete al folders that are inside the “platforms” folder (appdata>local>android>sdk>platforms)
Then start unity again … and build your file !!
now it will popup with a msg that you need to update files for continuing the build (.apk file)
and it will install the correct build-tool and the correct platform itself !!
Another possibility:
I followed the tutorial that said I only needed to install whatever was required for the OS version I was running on (Android 6.0 in my case), so I only installed that.
You also have to install the corresponding Tools, which is where aapt.exe is. I installed extra things, looking for the right stuff, but I think I highlighted the important ones for my version:
Solci’s post above is a great solution. If aapt.exe is not in \build-tools folder, you will need to update to a newer version of the Android SDK Build Tools from the Android SDK Manager
I know it’s a bit late to answer , but i know some people might still have this problem.
none of the solutions worked for me, then i realized i had two sub-folders in build-tools folder , one was “25.0.1” and the other was “27.0.3” , when i moved the “27.0.3” folder out of the directory , then i could successfully build my project.
