    The log says you're using NDK from
    /Users/zeinathabet/Documents/android-ndk-r19, could you try using NDK embedded within Unity?

    yes, that actually fixed it!

    However now I am facing another error related to gradle. I did google the error but couldn't find anything useful.

    Should I open another thread?

    Here is the error log just incase:

    Thats a similar problem, try using embedded Unity JDK, looks like you're using a custom one

    I just fixed it by simply closing and reopening Unity.

    Thanks a lot for your help, I was stuck on the first error for very long hours
