Gradle build issues for Android API SDK 35 in Unity 2022.3LTS

Shaggy21 · October 10, 2025, 3:55pm

I tried following your instructions for Unity 2022.3.62f2 and i still get an error saying that I am using Gradle 7.4.2 which is incompatible with API > 33
I updated all the Firebase packages I use to 13.3.0, Facebook SDK to 18.0.0. Google Ad Mob to 10.5. I have no idea why Unity insists of using Gradle 7.4.2 for this Android build.

Replace /Applications/Unity/Hub/Editor/2022.3.62f2/PlaybackEngines/AndroidPlayer/SDK/build-tools/36.0.0/aapt2 with the actual path to your Android SDK installation directory.
For Windows use file with extension: appt2.exe.

For Mac only use aapt2.

Example : android.aapt2FromMavenOverride= {full path}/aapt2.exe.

Full path should be start with any directory that have android sdk like C:/, D:/, etc.

Check my video that I sent for 36 API level.

Shaggy21 · October 10, 2025, 7:39pm

I originally followed your video, i copied the build-tools 36.0.0 directory to the Unity version and ran it from there. I am running on Mac but i assume it doesn’t make a difference.
I think the core issue is that the Gradle version for Android doesn’t fit API > 33:

Shaggy21 · October 10, 2025, 9:58pm

I’ve tried everything.. I tried building with API level 35 or 36. I set android.aapt2FromMavenOverride={full path}/aapt2 as described. I keep getting the same error:

I tried changing the Gradle version since it is supposed to be compatible with API level 35 or 36, but that requires JDK 17 and this version of Unity does not work with JDK 17, whenever I change it simply doesn’t build.

brandon_unity321 · November 5, 2025, 9:19am

Hi there! I’m currently facing the same error on Unity 2022.3.62f2

Were you able to resolved this? If so, how did you do it?

As a extra note, this project i contains a lot of Plugins. I’m not sure if that is the reason for this bug.
If so, is there a way to figure out which specific plugin is the one causing the error?

The output says we can use --stacktrace. --info or --scan but where do i put these arguments for me to see them?

Thank you

brandon_unity321 · November 7, 2025, 7:52am

manage to find a fix for my case.
the reason for me case is because i have a lot of json files in Unity’s StreamingAssets.
in my launcherTemplate.gradle, the code that does unityStreamingAssets.tokenize(', ') does not return just a single “.json” but returns all of my json files as individual filenames. ( my other files are compressed into their .extension form )

so when this large array is sent into the aapt2 program, it probably causes it to break

the fix is to filter just my json extension into a single .json using some simple groovy code

hopefully for other people, this can help. you can println to find out what are the file extensions that aren’t filtered out to just their extensions in unityStreamingAssets. ( gradle accepts Groovy code it seems )

aaptOptions {
        // NOTE: This is a hack in 2022.3.62f2 to filter unity's streaming assets to compress all json texts into a single .json string
        //  Likely under the hood, the unityStreamingAssets does not filter out certain extensions ( such as .json ) and adds as is
        // my game has a lot of json files so this returns a large array
        // thus, aapt2.exe times out, causing the error
        // fix is to manually filter out the .json files by writing some simple groovy code, then adding in .json ourselves ( since aapt takes in just extensions )
        def filteredStreamingAssets = unityStreamingAssets
        .tokenize(', ')
        .findAll { !it.contains('.json') }
        filteredStreamingAssets.add('.json')        
        
        noCompress = **BUILTIN_NOCOMPRESS** + filteredStreamingAssets
        ignoreAssetsPattern = "!.svn:!.git:!.ds_store:!*.scc:.*:!CVS:!thumbs.db:!picasa.ini:!*~"
    }**SIGN**
