Unity 2019.2.9f1 Android: Gradle build failed

atomicjoe · October 14, 2019, 12:23pm

Hi!
Since I upgraded from 2019.2.6 to 2019.2.7 Unity doesn’t want to compile for android anymore.
I’m getting a Build Failure window with “Gradle build failed, see the console for details”
I have now upgraded to 2019.2.9f1 and still having the same issue.

I’m using the Android SDK and NDK installed with unity.
I don’t have any other android sdk or ndk installation.
Things were working correctly with 2019.2.6

I have uninstalled Unity and the Unity hub then reinstalled them.
I have deleted any “.android” or “.gradle” folder I have found in the “appdata” folder after uninstalling.
I’m getting mad.

Anyone can help?

That’s what the console says:

Aaaand of course, after spending hours with this, losing hope and posting this here I found the issue myself
The problem was that I recently installed a neat script from the store named “AutoVersion”
This asset keeps track of the amount of builds you did and changes your app version accordingly.
The problem is it defaults to -1 version number and it turns out that Gradle doesn’t like AT ALL your version number to be less or equal to zero.
So if anyone is having this issue in the future, double check your app Version on the player settings is greater than zero AND the Bundle Version Code is at least 1. Otherwise Gradle will refuse to build and will not tell you why!
Anyway, it’s working now
