.AAB Build Targeting API Level 33 on Unity 2021.3.8 with JDK 1.8.

I am attempting to upload an .AAB file Google Play Console which requires an API level of 31 or higher. But targeting an API higher than 30 in Unity results in a build failure. Below are my error logs. Any guidance would be appreciated.

Any luck? Same error

 

same error still stucks

 

hi same error
Any solution?

 

Android build not building:

Recently (circa July 2022) there have been reports of Unity's installer failing to install the Android Tools.

https://forum.unity.com/threads/cant-build-for-android.1306098/

If it's not that, then here's how to troubleshoot:

First, make a blank project with a single blank scene and prove that it builds successfully.

If it does NOT build, then go fix your Unity installation, or your other tools, such as Android SDK, NDK, JDK, etc.

Until you can build a blank project to the target platform, don't fiddle with anything else.

Once you can build a blank project, now bisect the problem by bringing over parts of your current project and building it one subsystem at a time, perhaps stubbing things out that might trigger compiler errors.

Most often things that prevent building are third-party libraries such as Firebase.

Once you identify the subsystem, go to the documentation for it and make sure you are doing it correctly.

It may also be helpful to work through a tutorial or two for that subsystem.

 

Let us give a try. Share us your unity version!

 

Hey, coincidentally I just upgraded to Android SDK31 today... why not wait until nearly the last minute?

It was a wild ride, took most of the day. Let me tell you what I did, what I found.

First of all, I'm using Unity2020.3.41 (hereinafter referred to Unity*) because that's all the further I need to go forward right now.

I found that Unity* only accepts up to SDK30.0.3 tools, but will build using those tools and SDK31.

Next I found that Android Studio will not install anything except Android 33 FIRST, and only after you get 33 can you uninstall 33 and simultaneously install earlier versions.

So I went to a bastardized setup where I used the Unity-provided installs for everything except the Android SDK, for which I downloaded SDK 31 and the tools for 30, putting it over in ~/Library/Android/sdk... and it worked!

I have now built and tested two games to Android 64bit IL2CPP and they have been accepted by the Google Play store internal testing track with zero warnings, but I have not yet tried to push them to production, which I think triggers a few more SDK checks.

EDIT from 8/23/2023 - I upgraded the above from SDK31 to SDK33 as follows: Without telling Unity anything I used Android Studio to remove SDK31 fully and to install SDK33.

 

@pabloware
To upgrade to API level higher than 29, follow up-
1) Download Android Studio, go to Settings > System Settings > Android SDK.
2) On SDK Platforms tab, select-
Android API 32(Sv2) 32(API Level)
Android 12.0(S) 31(API Level)
Android 11.0(R) 30(API Level)
3) On SDK Tools tab, click on Show Package Details at bottom right corner and select,
32.0.0
31.0.0
30.0.3 ,and click OK
4) Open Unity's SDK location (C:\Program Files\Unity\Hub\Editor\"Editor Version"\Editor\Data\PlaybackEngines\AndroidPlayer\SDK)
Copy SDK Platforms from Android Studio and paste in platforms folder at the above location.
Copy SDK Tools from Android Studio and paste in build tools folder at the above location.
5) Copy dx.bat from SDK\build tools\30.0.3 and paste in SDK\build tools\31.0.0 and 32.0.0
6) Copy dx.jar from SDK\build tools\30.0.3\lib and paste in SDK\build tools\31.0.0\lib and 32.0.0\lib

You are all done, now choose your target API level and build the file.
Do tell me, if you still face any issues.

 

I did as you instructed and got the same results "CommandInvokationFailure: Gradle build failed". I am using unity 2020.1.6. I had an extra issue, while copying tools from Android Studio > SDK to Unity's SDK I got an error "Destination path too long. You can shorten the file name and try again, or try a different location that has a shorter path". I skiped those few files.

 

What you should do is enable R8 under player settings
Build should work just fine

 

I was struggling getting custom SDKs to work all day, but this finally worked for me. I don't really understand how it works, but thanks!

For anyone looking for it it's Player settings > Android settings > Publisher Settings > Minify > Use R8

 

You've Saved my 37-Days. I was totally shucked by this issue, Thanks

 

I build APK Build Targeting API Level 33 on Unity 2019.2.0.f1. I followed all above step. But on Android 13 my app appear a black screen when it just run.

 

Enabling R8 worked for me in terms of getting my project to build, but ended up causing a lot of other issues down the line when I tried to actually run my build on device.

I noticed the file throwing the exception was under a folder called "optional" (/Applications/Unity/Hub/Editor/[unity version number]/PlaybackEngines/AndroidPlayer/SDK/platforms/android-33/optional/android.car.jar) so I tried just deleting android.car.jar and that worked for me. Sharing in case it helps someone else.

 

hi thank you helped me

 

I have stuck in to update the api level 33 of my app
i build the aab file with target api level 33 but its still showing min api level in google play console .pls help me.
so i cant update my app.

 

Show the exact error you see on google play console as the quoted text is not clear.

 

Using R8 didn't work for me, I'm going to try the Android Studio solution and build with a project already building, this will take a lot of work, almost the same as making a game without unity , I thought unity made life easier But I was wrong, it's making the programmer's life worse

 

Tried to update SDK didn't help.... Eventually I realized that the version of unity is not so important, updated several times. It is important that there are assemblies in it and that this pixel 2 should be enabled "x86-64(Chrome OS...)". Run on the emulator in android studio without problems. Unity version 2022.3.15.f1. Thanks coyousi11 for describing how to update SDK.
