Resolved Android NDK missing

its already in 2.2.2 - but you have to reinstall unity so it changes the path

 

I used HUB to install the NDK but the Editor did not find it. So I manually selected the HUB installed NDK in the editor preferences. The Editor still complains that it is the wrong NDK version but it did build the .abb and it runs so I guess its a Unity Hub / Editor bug.

 

Yes,worked for me.‍
Here is link on YouTube:

 

Same issue.
Switched the Android project from mono to IL2CPP and it did "required" NDK which was already set...

Set the default location bu still shows up the warning "You are missing the recommanded android NDK ot the following path :

Folder "android-ndk-r19" is located there.

It is working if I set the NDK path to :

 

Bug is still present in 2019.2.17f1.
If you don't do all of this below you won't be able to share with google play!!

1) Use the HUB and download the up to date version and check all the boxes and sub boxes of Android modules

2) Go to Unity folder and delete everything inside the SDK folder.

3) Download old version of Android SDK
Android NDK, Revision 16b (December 2017)
https://developer.android.com/ndk/downloads/older_releases.html
Mac OS X android-ndk-r16b-darwin-x86_64.zip 839630771

4) Then extract the folder and ONLY add the sub files inside Unity SDK folder

5) in Unity, Preference-> External Tools -> Uncheck : Android NDK installed with Unity

6) IL2CPP

7) Check Build App Bundle inside the build settings


ps: don't forget you need to set a Keystore key.

 

Eu mudei a localização:

COM ERRO:
C: \ Arquivos de programas \ Unity \ Hub \ Editor \ YourVersion \ Editor \ Data \ PlaybackEngines \ AndroidPlayer \ NDK \ android-ndk-r19.

SEM ERRO:
C: \ Arquivos de programas \ Unity \ Hub \ Editor \ YourVersion \ Editor \ Data \ PlaybackEngines \ AndroidPlayer \ NDK

Coloquei todos os arquivos na pasta android-ndk-r19 dentro da pasta NDK.

 

same issue with Unity 2019.3.0f6 Hub 2.2.2 Mac

How to fix:

1) download ndk19c from

https://dl.google.com/android/repository/android-ndk-r19c-windows-x86_64.zip -- Windows 64
https://dl.google.com/android/repository/android-ndk-r19c-darwin-x86_64.zip -- Mac

2) unzip the file ,and copy the folder to

/Applications/Unity/Hub/Editor/(version)/PlaybackEngines/AndroidPlayer/NDK --Mac

3) change the source.properties at

/Applications/Unity/Hub/Editor/(version)/PlaybackEngines/AndroidPlayer/NDK/source.properties

to :

Pkg.Desc = Android NDK
Pkg.Revision = 19.0.5232133

 

Same issue with Unity 2019.3.0f6 Hub 2.2.2, Windows.

Fixed by manually setting the path to same NDK install folder that is already used by Unity.

 

Unity 2019.3.0f6 Hub 2.2.2, Windows, Some Result/Problem, Success if setup NDK (from unityhub) Path to Sub Foulder /NDK/android-ndk-r19

 

On Linux I had to do some more steps to get everything running. I put together a video:

 

Thank you @Snitem it works perfectly!

 

thats not solving it, thats alternative... i need to solve and do it directly, my pc has NO space, i need to use external options to function or else i cant.. Problems

 

@OldKing_Wang -1 for leaving out https://dl.google.com/android/repository/android-ndk-r19c-linux-x86_64.zip

Other than that thank you for the pointers.

 

Can u please tell me how to downgrade version to 2.19.2

 

Tried that page?
https://unity3d.com/get-unity/download/archive

 

How can I possibly be getting this error when I've installed the latest version of Unity? Why does the latest version of Unity on the Hub come with the wrong NDK version?

Which NDK version should I download and where should I get it from?

 

Thank you, I have been looking for a solution for more than two days. My version Unity 2019.3.14f1 (64-bit)

 

i make video to solve problem :

 

My Solution, I dont know how it work :v

On External Tool setting:
Uncheck JDK
and
Check Again

 

After hours of pain and hundreds of downloads this ended up solving my issue. Why is it that developing with unity is such a pleasure but building is such a torture?

 

Actually there is no need to downgrade unity. Just get the latest ndk. After extraction, open the source.properties file and change the pkg. Version to the exact version unity needs in preference. This should work until unity addresses this or they upgrade to a newer ndk

 

I spent two weeks trying to install the Android build support with versions of Unity so that I could develop Oculus Quest applications. The SDK, NDK and JDK wouldn't install and I couldn't get it to work with paths in Android studio.

I tried a lot of the online solutions that didn't work for me. I finally got it to work when I realised that the SDK, NDK and JDK were installed when I installed Unity through hubs with the Android Build Support selected, but the full Android
module wasn't installed so when I went to switch platform I had to install the module again. When I did this a lot of the files in the SDK, NDK folder and the JDK folder were deleted, so I lost the paths to them in external tools.

I found that if I copied the SDK, NDK and OpenJDK folder to my desktop on the first installation, then copied them back
after I reinstalled the module copied them back in it worked.

I also just found that when I installed version 2020.1.0f1 with just the Android Build support selected, including Andriod SDK and NDK Tools and OpenJDK (no other modulues selected including Visual Studio) it installed correctly
with the right paths to the SDK, NDK and JDK.

I installed Unity versions 2019.2.10f1 and 2019.3.15f1, and deployed applications to my Oculus Quest. I am using an Asus TUF Gaming FX505DT laptop with Windows 10 Home installed.

My path to the SDK etc is C:\Program Files\Unity\Hub\Editor\2019.3.15f1\Editor\Data\PlaybackEngines

 

Thanks so much man!!!!!!

 

Going forward, could it maybe say *which* version it's looking for... if module installation isn't possible via the hub.
Or is there an updated table somewhere?

Just spent the entire day and part of my weekend updating a project updating a dozen plugins, patching everything up, gradle templates, manifests, doing backups along the way (and it's ~19gb so multiple backups along the way take a while), dealing with the resolver being broken, patching broken google plugins, etc... and... then... this. It's a bit grating, so every little thing to smooth over the process would be wonderful.

Thanks =)

 

Okay, attempting to install a random older version gives you this feedback.
So the string + version check is already in there, but just not displayed.

 

this is still not fixed or what ?
I installed unity 2019.4.11f1 via Unity Hub, and i have the same exact issue :


Seems like the installed folders are not even there:


there is no NDK, SDK nor Open JDK

 

Thanks, It worked for me

 

C:\Program Files\Unity\Hub\Editor\2019.3.0a4\Editor\Data\PlaybackEngines\AndroidPlayer\NDK\android-ndk-r19
Just rename the folder or create a new folder with \android-ndk-r19
Press>Build and finish this worked for me.

 

Google REQUIRES 64 bit builds, if you're a google dev you would have gotten an email about this, can't build IL2CPP 64 BIT, can't deploy to playstore.

 

Honestly with every update, unity moves away from "The premium indie engine" as they try to catch up to unreal engine as a AAA. I mean seriously, Unreal has what, 20 years more experience than unity? Every update you break my old titles, to the point i just want to leave unity for a more STABLE engine. 3 year LTS means nothing, I mean i've just missed out on 3 game breaking unity updates. If i don't have a current project, using the current unity build, i will literally have no idea what is going on with the engine. Whats the point of updating an engine that relies on other libraries to build our games, if you cant keep up with android builds?

 

You have LITERALLY just named the folder you RENAMED, SO create a new folder where?

 

Deprecated Gradle features were used in this build, making it incompatible with Gradle 6.0.

UnityEngine.GUIUtilityProcessEvent(Int32, IntPtr)

Does this help anyone?

 

ARE YOU F***ING KIDDING ME????

 

I keep all my software up to date, java, android studio, so clearly the bottle neck is unity. Pathetic. I managed to get a link to R19, lets see what happens.

 

Nope spent past few hours upgrading, reverting, android studio, java, the ndk and gradle, nothing works, F*** YOU UNITY, this is where i go to unreal.

 

I got burned by this 6 months ago. I have given up on this at the moment as I thought MY posts were too rough. I thought I was alone in this debacle. Sorry for your pain. I have 5 projects I am juggling and I can't even entertain the thought of dealing with each and every failure that came about because of updates.
My solution that I posted on Discord/Archimatix is to create an Oracle VM for each project, make that stable and work/build in there. And yes it is going to take a 2tb drive.
Unity has expanded beyond their original business model in a trial by fire escapade. What we are seeing now as the only exit plan is to jump out of windows because the highly educated in Unity have careers and not stable products. I download the 2018.3 installer. It installs 2018.4. The new mindset of the current staff is 'I did my part and I throw it over the wall. Let the community figure it out.' Well the chickens have come home to roost.
Thank God its tax season here. I have a plan B that I am actually looking forward too.

 

Yeah, well i've just hired a game tester, can't build a game = Nothing to test. But thankyou for the sympathy. All the best

 

hey just install a newer version of NDK and go to the location of that folder, find the source.properties file and change his version to the version unity said.
It solved my problem.

 

No ,it just works now, a NEWER version of the LTS came out to fix things. look for it in HUB (or you already have it). Why an LTS would need a patch is beyond me.

Still going to unreal.

 

Now, I KNOW UNITY STAFF WILL NEVER READ THIS, it only takes 8 people to confirm they have solved the issue for it to be considered closed. NO unity staff will revisit this.

Still the title will draw new users to read this.

Unity HUB is the worst thing that has happened to unity. You used to get a dialogue pop up in the unity editor saying an new version for your stream is now available (i.e 2019.2 to 2019.3). Now there are NO notifications. You're just expected to randomly click on the 'Version' button in hub and see the latest releases (for your stream, LTS included OR the following years betas).

Unity are quite simply advancing into technology they don't understand, and completely ignoring things they SHOULD fix.

Ever WATCHED unity compile a game (or even import/REimport)? It jumps from folder to folder, in no apparent order, and on an SSD it won't make much difference, but on a spindle drive, the spindle needs to PHYSICALLY jump between these folders to build your project, making it extremely inefficient. I did try to report this as a bug and was told "This is a standard feature of unity, and although unity tries to update it's features wherever possible, this feature works as expected". Poorly.

I mean seriously, read the first 8 posts of this thread. EVERYONE who considered this problem solved, simply rolled back to a version of unity that worked. GO SEE FOR YOURSELF.

Rollback IS NEVER A SOLUTION. Its a band aid/bandage whatever you know this phrase to be.

 

Yah I've been having this issue for a while, I just copy the missing NDK /SDK from the previous version of Unity when I install a new version. Shame UnityHub can't copy files into folder for some reason

 

Thanks you..its working now

 

Making sure to tick all the Android Build Support fix the problem for me

 

Hi @LeonhardP. Missing SDK and NDK bug comes back again at Unity 2020.3.9.

 

Hi, I followed your video for https://forum.unity.com/threads/android-ndk-missing.689122/page-2
and I am getting the same error. Unity 2020.1.of1, running MacOS Catalina.
Path is: /Users/penelopewalcott/Library/Android/sdk/ndk/21.3.6528147
Please please help! Thanks in advance!

 

This issue seems to be a bug caused by the Unity Hub and still persists in the latest version.
For me, it occurred when I installed the latest version first, then the stable version. The NDK is installed only in the 2021 folder, and missing in the stable (2020) stable version. Then the NDK folder location defaults to the stable release folder (even when using the 2021 version) which is missing the NDK.

Solution is to duplicate the NDK from the folder it is installed to, into the folder from which it is missing.

 

I'm using 2020.3.12 and getting this problem. I've downloaded and unzipped the NDK version 19.0.5232133 and pointed to the folder in Preferences but Unity refuses to acknowledge that it's the correct version.

I also note that not only is this an old, unsupported version of the NDK, but it's flagged specifically as obsolete and unavailable on android.com. Why does Unity insist that it must be this particular version?

By the way, the NDK folder in the Unity installation is empty even though 'Android SDK and NDK Tools' is ticked in Modules in the Hub.

Edit: The warning in Preferences is a lie. I just tried a build and run and it worked.

 

Thanks, I've been stuck for over a week. Now it's working .
