Need help with gradle build errors

Unity Engine
,
1

Hello there,

I have been struggling for a few days now with a black screen problem after the unity splash screen, I have searched a lot but I haven’t found much that works for me.
So yesterday I switched to unity 2019.4 LTS after seeing some threads talking about how an update of unity could solve the problem.
The problem is that since then I can’t build… gradle always crashes and I can’t manage to solve it myself.
So here I am, I will go through every warning and error I got and give you all the information I can.

Frist I use FMOD 1.10.10 and I got a warning for FMOD using an obsolete feature.
FMOD Warning

Assets\Plugins\FMOD\RuntimeManager.cs(665,42): warning CS0618: 'WWW' is obsolete: 'Use UnityWebRequest, a fully featured replacement which is more efficient and has additional features'

I don’t think there is a link with the gradle crash.

Then I got 5 error, the last 2 don’t seem to be related to gradle but just unity error messages when the build fails with errors.

Gradle 1st error

Of course my keystore is correctly configured with the password set when I try to build
and I don’t use any custom manifest or template nor proguard nor Minify nor the split application binary option.

Here all I think can be useful, don’t hesitate to ask me anything if it can help.
Thank you in advance for your help.
A simple developer who would like to know more.

You are not alone, Sir. I have found this out last year and have accumulated Android Build Failures to the tune of 134 separate discreet problems all dealing with Android builds. I was on the head start of this problem and have just had to watch the environment of devs crumble into obscurity as I never see responses from knowledgable techs.
I am waiting for the head dude to fix this as I too and many others are not sure where to begin. I have 6 projects on hiatus. I just dont have the time to fix others garbage(this is not about yours).
Somebody up above has just thrown their lack of ability over the wall and fled the scene with no accountability.
If I am wrong then humble me publicly. I use to create projects in a day and thrown them at my phones and headsets and they worked. Now I got nada but trash. Wasted software development time and wasted devices.
If you should find an answer please post for that will definitely put you on a pedastal of the highest degree.
Of all the failed build emails I have yet to see a solution come forth. A lot of devs are crashed.
I am so glad I am not on a schedule or investor budget.
I found the Gradle 40 to 41 error and posted the solution willingly. This was a deep system configuration problem only to have this next failure occur.

It’s sad to hear that there are so many problems and so little valid help and solution available but I dare to hope that some talented technicians will find solutions to all this.
Of course, I will not fail to publish any solutions I find or that anyone will share with me.
Fortunately, I am not constrained by a schedule or a budget too but I would not let some build problems prevent me from sharing my work and my team’s work!
