[Solved] Gradle build error: not accepted licenses

Unity Engine

Just sharing fix I did for gradle build error in Unity 6, the error part was

Could not determine the dependencies of task ‘:unityLibrary:GoogleMobileAdsPlugin.androidlib:generateReleaseRFile’.

Then there was info about not-accepted licenses, and using sdkManager --licenses, which didn’t work.

The fix was to

  • delete all files from the build folder,
  • set Minimum and Target Android API in ProjetctSettings to 31. Then build, and a blue window should appear installing API 31. Then restore Minimum and Target Android APIs.

Hope it helps someone.

It’s crazy how this issue appeared in an LTS release and was never fixed - it affects everyone (Mac+Windows Users) and cannot be circumvented
