we're using built in unity android build tools, as is recommended.

 

exporting the build from unity and building with android studio gives the same error as well

 

Doing a platform switch from Android, to Windows, and back to Android cleared the error.

 

Same problem, but changing back to windows doesn't help

 

The reason is the max apk size is 4GB in Android Gradle build.
What you can do is to reduce your pack size.
