I’ve had the exact same issue first-time compiling for Android.

I got past the “Probably the SDK is read-only” error by giving all users Full Access to the folder “AndroidPlayer”.
Go to “C:\Program Files\Unity\2022.3.4f1\Editor\Data\PlaybackEngines” in File Explorer.
Right click the folder “AndroidPlayer” and pick “Properties”.
Navigate to the “Security” tab and click “Edit”.
In the list of users on the OS, pick “Users (\Users)” ( will differ based on your PC’s name.)
Tick the box “Full Access” in permissions list below, then Apply.

After some more trial-and-error (Including migrating to 2022.3.5f1, to no avail) I narrowed the issue down to the package “Mobile Notifications”. I disabled it in the Unity Package Manager in my projject and it now builds and the app runs on my phone with no issues.

4

Im not able to disable this package, unity will reinstall it right away if i remove it from the json file. also in packet manager it is locked.

can you tell me how you did that`?

cheers!

5

Set target SDK to 33 in player settings.

6

thanks i try it.

But i wanted to compile for an older android, that means i can only do with older untiy’s then?

7

You can still compile for older, but you need to use a custom gradle template. By default Unity sets targetSdk and compileSdk to the same value. For your case, you need to set compileSdk manually to 33, while set target sdk to what you want.

8

Ah now i understand, thank you! Will do like this.
Cheers!

9

removing Mobile notifications package worked for me right away.

10

I may be having the same issue, (I’m away from my project atm). What if you need the messaging? I’m using Firebase messaging and my game really needs that for turn notifications.

11

I found a simple way to solve this issue!
In most cases, you will only need to go to File > Build Settings > Android > Player Settings, and under ‘Minimum API Level,’ select the highest available, like 34 at the time of my writing this.
Then, go to build and run, and you will be prompted with a dialog that will ask you to upgrade the Android API.
Click ‘Upgrade’, and after that, all problems should be solved.
Now, you can build and run with whatever minimum API level you wish.
This solution has worked for the 2022.3.14f1 unity version.

12

I Solve this error select Minimum API Level and Maximum API Level using and forse resolve.
For max api level -1 and build first time unity install sdk then build.
Preference setting remove and again set then force resolve.
At the end of reset all api level and target level.

13

Removing the full mobile package (which include notifications) was the fix for me, thanks @neorayb

I still get a compatibility warning but the game start… something is fishy in that mobile package and it might have something to do with Gradle but this is too far from my skillset for me to investigate ^^

14

Preference setting remove and again set then force resolve.
Try it

15

Having the same problem on 2021.3.24 lts. Previous version is ok

16

This worked for me. Thanks a lot!!

17

This worked for me. Really frustrating though, I hope developers change something in the installation process so it would work out of box.

18

I got many ANR events in my app, Anr related to GC_Lock. I don’t know how to investigate the Anr, I am looking for a solution I didn’t found.

Which Unity version are you using, try updating it, because I think this bug was fixed.
