Android Build Error with empty project.

[wodn9955]

Hi, I have a trouble with building Unity.

I also reinstalled Unity Hub and its editors (also deleted C:/ProgramFiles/Unity and UnityHub files
User/AppData/ Local, LocalLow, Roaming and User/.gradle/caches before reinstall.)

My editor version is 2021.3.8f1
Unity Hub is 3.2.0

I created empty project and after changing platform to Android, I tried “build and run” to my galaxy 32A.
But the following still occurs and I don’t know how to resolve the problems.
I also checked that in other desktops, Unity app is built successfully, so my phone may not be a reason.

Any help would be appreciated.

Here are detailed error messages.

1. warning

Sounds like you have already done this step, so move onto verifying your installation.

Android build not building:

Recently (circa July 2022) there have been reports of Unity’s installer failing to install the Android Tools.

Can't build for Android

Latest Hub 3.2.0 in combination with Unity 2021.3.6 can't build for Android because there is a missing Tools folder inside *Editor\Data\PlaybackEngines\AndroidPlayer* so Unity can't find gradle. That folder is simply not created during the installation. The workaround is to copy the whole Tools folder from the previous Unity version or if you don't have the previous version then do what [mention|1j+oWeNEPCI6ejbN15sncw==] says in the post below .

If it’s not that, then here’s how to troubleshoot:

First, make a blank project with a single blank scene and prove that it builds successfully.

If it does NOT build, then go fix your Unity installation, or your other tools, such as Android SDK, NDK, JDK, etc.

Until you can build a blank project to the target platform, don’t fiddle with anything else.

Once you can build a blank project, now bisect the problem by bringing over parts of your current project and building it one subsystem at a time, perhaps stubbing things out that might trigger compiler errors.

Most often things that prevent building are third-party libraries such as Firebase.

Once you identify the subsystem, go to the documentation for it and make sure you are doing it correctly.

It may also be helpful to work through a tutorial or two for that subsystem.

I think my editor 2021.3.8f1 is installed successfully…
And blank project sitll isn’t built as Android. But it can be built as a Window.

Well, how can I check my SDK, NDK, JDK are installed well?

[wodn9955]

I solved.
The solution was that generating new key store and setting package name correctly.

Still, I don’t know why some people don’t require setting key store and others should generate key store.
