I’m worse than you, I had this problem in 2020.2, I used various methods to finally solve it, but I don’t know how I solved it (delete cache, set jdk, sdk path, etc.), it was like magic he suddenly got better, it took me 3 days
When I upgraded to 2020.3, the problem came back, and today the first day has passed and I have not solved the problem.

Thanitsak · April 1, 2021, 6:16am

I just got it to fixed with this steps

https://imgur.com/r8XJV6X

Fix by : Go to Edit → Project Settings → Player → Publishing settings → Tick Custom Properties Gradle Template & Custom Main Gradle Template → Restart Unity

So there will be 2 files generated mainTemplate.gradle and gradleTemplate.properties files under Plugins → Android folder as this force Unity build process to use one SDK for the entire build.

Hope this help your problem also anyone who stuck with this as well!

Personuo · April 1, 2021, 9:09am

thank you, but this no useful for me!

Antony-Blackett · May 18, 2021, 4:04am

Omg!!

This totally worked for me! The key is restarting unity. it tried it without the restart and it didn’t solve anything. Restarting Unity after enabling these files worked a treat.

rabishan-maharjan · August 26, 2021, 5:58am

this worked for me. but i had to untick both template options again to make it work.

MrKocurrr · October 1, 2021, 2:27pm

In my case, building app for Oculus Quest 2, the thing that helped was to switch il2cpp to mono. Make a build and than switch it back and magicaly it was working correctly.

Voxel-Busters · October 1, 2021, 2:38pm

Did you try just toggling Android SDK and JDK options in Unity Preferences → External Tools?

hammadkhan642 · October 6, 2021, 9:40am

not useful for me…

havokentity · October 8, 2021, 6:10pm

I was building app for Oculus Quest 2 and encountered this error…
And you won’t believe what worked for me without messing with gradle stuff.

I disabled Oculus Quest Support in OpenXR under XR Plug-in Management

I fixed all MRTK errors in their popup (This is specific for Mixed Reality Tookit with Unity)

Then it magically compiled and built and ran on my Quest 2

segant · November 5, 2021, 10:20am

For me it was a duplicate plugin version.I checked plugins and founded duplicated one deleted it and worked.

ROBYER1 · December 18, 2021, 3:57pm

Thanks this fixed it for me too, I was building to Quest 2 with the XR Plugin Set to Oculus for Android rather than OpenXR but somehow that OpenXR setting from when I did an OpenXR build before seemed to cause the issue somehow?! Absolute shambles for VR developers still.

kshaja · December 19, 2021, 10:21pm

Thanks for this, it worked for me too

luiginicastrocgs · January 15, 2022, 6:09pm

This was the fixed, thank you!

Houbeenie · February 7, 2022, 12:59pm

For our URP project this also worked. We also had Oculus set as the plugin option in XR Plugin Management.

However, for us it also worked when we used the “OVR Scene Quick Preview” and “Build and Deploy Scenes” from there. That builder changes some settings, like changing the scripting backend back to mono and ensuring ARMv7 is used. After testing it turned out that using ARMv7 was the fix. Building with ARM64 would always give the gradle workers$ActionFacade error like in the original post.

So in the end we still have Oculus Quest Support enabled and IL2CPP as scripting backend and we can build.

BanjoPesche · February 17, 2022, 8:38pm

Had the same problem today. Fixed by disabling Oculus Quest Support in OpenXR section. My Android XR settings specify to use Oculus as plugin source, so I would not have expected it to interfere with my build in this way.

JasonBennett · May 8, 2022, 9:25pm

OMG thank you so much, was beating my head against the wall for hours before finding this.

havokentity · May 18, 2022, 4:03am

Haha so happy I could help !
