Unity 2020.3.27f1 Gradle build failed

Hello there, I’m having a problem these days with unity that I can’t build apk because of this error

and I tried a lot of time to solve it and nothing worked at all
I tried to reinstall Android SDK build tools 33.0.2 and it didn’t work out neither
so I will give you all the error in consoles I get so you can probably understand my issue
and if you may wonder, the gradle I have is 6.9.2 and its download size was 143 (compressed) just in case
I hope someone respond as soon as possible, this is very important!

error #1:

Starting a Gradle Daemon, 1 incompatible Daemon could not be reused, use --status for details

WARNING: The option setting ‘android.enableR8=false’ is deprecated.

It seems that the issue is related to the installed Build Tools revision 33.0.2 being corrupted. I’m not entirely sure how to fix that besides getting a new one , which I think you do like this:

Open the Android SDK Manager by navigating to Edit > Preferences > External Tools in Unity, and then click on the Open SDK Manager button under the Android section.

In the Android SDK Manager, find the “SDK Build-Tools” section, and uncheck the box next to the installed version (33.0.2).

Click on the “Apply” button to uninstall the corrupted build tools.

After the uninstallation is complete, re-check the box next to version 33.0.2 in the “SDK Build-Tools” section.

Click on the “Apply” button to reinstall the build tools.

Close the Android SDK Manager and restart Unity.

Try building your APK again.

If the issue persists, you might want to consider trying a different version of the build tools, or reinstalling the entire Android SDK.

So, after watching some videos on YouTube I figured out the problem
it is not understandable to me but I will explain it in any case
I went to the SDK folder
for me it was in C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk
after opening the sdk folder I went to tools folder then to lib folder which is spotted in this location
C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk ools\lib
after that you will find a file called d8.jar
make a copy of it in the same folder and rename it to dx.jar
back to the tools folder C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk ools
you will find a file called d8.bat, do the same, make a copy of it and then rename it to dx.bat
this should fix the issue
also thanks for Ict Foysal for solving my problem and I hope it fixes the problem for anyone
