Failed to recompile android resource files. Unity 5.6.7f1

Hi guys. I have a problem to generate the Build of my game. The game is ready but when I generate the build, this error appears.


Can someone please help me, this is my first game and I really want to finish.

5.6 is a very old and unsupported version of Unity. I’d recommend you upgrade to 2019.4 LTS, as the issue may’ve been fixed in a later patch.

If you are building this for Android, you cannot make 64-bit builds in Unity5 and that won’t change.

Not only that but Google won’t accept 32-bit builds anymore.

Google will accept 32-bit updates of ONLY Unity5-made games until August 2021 I think, IF your game was already in the store as 32-bit before August 2019.

Just update, as JoNax says above. Either 2019.4 LTS or 2018.4 LTS should do you just fine.

BACK EVERYTHING UP or put it in source control before you upgrade!! Unity will touch almost every single file.

I’d take the above advice, but instead move to 2017.4.x first. While it is no longer under active support from Unity, it does have 64 bit Android support added in 2017.4.16. It also feels a whole lot like Unity 5.6, as none of the more important workflow changes were implemented yet, and UnityScript (JS files) could still be used.

As already stated, back up your entire project before doing a Unity upgrade.
