error build - Starting a Gradle Daemon, 1 incompatible Daemon could not be reused,

[unity_SQMFZUX0l5QpBA]

Hello,

The build of my Android game was working very well, but after I came back from vacation it doesn’t work anymore. I updated Gradle and my SDK too, but I still have the same error!

Can you help me?

How to troubleshoot build failures:

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

If the blank project does NOT build, go fix your Unity installation or your other tools, such as Android SDK, NDK, JDK, etc. It may even be necessary to change to a different version of Unity3D. It is generally best to stay with LTS versions of Unity3D.

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 whatever subsystem is making the build fail.

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 .

Here was how I brought up Unity2020.3.41 and the Android SDK 31 on October 30, 2022 (edited on August 23, 2023 to include Android SDK 33…):

.AAB Build Targeting API Level 33 on Unity 2021.3.8 with JDK 1.8.

Hey, coincidentally I just upgraded to Android SDK31 today… why not wait until nearly the last minute? It was a wild ride, took most of the day. Let me tell you what I did, what I found. First of all, I’m using Unity2020.3.41 (hereinafter referred to Unity*) because that’s all the further I need to go forward right now. I found that Unity* only accepts up to SDK30.0.3 tools, but will build using those tools and SDK31. Next I found that Android Studio will not install anything except Android …

Android Gradle errors and other related stuff:

Unity Gradle bug... please help

Fix:

[farazk86]

I got this error after updating to Unity 2022.3.23f1 in my android build.

I found out that this is because in my previous unity version I had given the path to my own downloaded gradle folder in Edit > Preferences > External Tools.

I reverted back to Gradle installed with unity and this fixed the build error.

Just thought I should add this in for someone also struggling with the same issue

I changed my project from Unity 2021.2.14f1 to 2022.3.9f1 and noticed that the SDK version in the 2021 folder was 30.0.2, while in the 2022 folder it was 32.0.0. This resolved the issue.
