    Latest Hub 3.2.0 in combination with Unity 2021.3.6 can't build for Android because there is a missing Tools folder inside Editor\Data\PlaybackEngines\AndroidPlayer\ so Unity can't find gradle.

    That folder is simply not created during the installation.
    The workaround is to copy the whole Tools folder from the previous Unity version or if you don't have the previous version then do what @Zeeppo-Games says in the post below.

    It didn't get download even if you select Android module while installing form hub?

    I had the same issue, looks like the gradle folder has changed from AndroidPlayer\SDK\Tools to AndroidPlayer\SDK\cmdline-tools but the path still the old one inside Unity preferences.

    Right, this is it. I was able to build it. Copy all folders and files inside cmdline-tools, create a new folder called Tools inside AndroidPlayer folder and paste there.

    Unity guys, you've forgotten to change the paths in AndroidBuildPostProcessor!!!!


    Edit: or maybe this is something related to Android SDK 33, the one I'm using to build this version of the game.

    I can confirm the paths are wrong in 2021.3.6 and not specific to Android sdk version. Wondering how it even passed QA :eek:

    I guess making an empty project and building for android is not one of the tests they do before they release their latest LTS to the world.

    Unity is a dumpster fire.

    Yep there's a bug there.
    You have to manually use the Fix that ZeppoGames says.

    Hi all,

    I had the same issue iMobCoding reported at the beginning of the thread and following his workaround helped me in "unlocking" the next problem. I could solve this by following Zeeppo-Games's hint.

    So both helped me a lot, thanks to both of you!

    Regarding the QA of Unity. That seems really sloppy to me... .

    On average, it’s less effort to work around the issues than to get Unity to fix them in a timeframe that matters.

    Many studios work on a project for months-years, so it depends on your project. And doing something for your future projects or future developers can be nice for 5 minutes of work

    Many bugs take months / years to be fixed, and most people should have found workarounds before that.

    the best way is to copy cmdline-tools, but it also build projects with Tools directory copied from Unity 2021.3.0

    I think this will do it.

    mkdir "C:\Program Files\Unity\Hub\Editor\2021.3.6f1\Editor\Data\PlaybackEngines\AndroidPlayer\Tools"

    xcopy "C:\Program Files\Unity\Hub\Editor\2021.3.6f1\Editor\Data\PlaybackEngines\AndroidPlayer\SDK\cmdline-tools\2.1\*.*" "C:\Program Files\Unity\Hub\Editor\2021.3.6f1\Editor\Data\PlaybackEngines\AndroidPlayer\Tools" /e /q /z

    This is a problem for me too, I hope it gets fixed soon. Maybe part of making a new version of Unity could include testing if android builds work?

    That worked, and then I got the following error:

    FileNotFoundException: Failed to find $C:/Program Files/Unity/Hub/Editor/2021.3.6f1/Editor/Data/PlaybackEngines/AndroidPlayer/Tools\GradleTemplates\gradleTemplate.properties


    And I'm wondering if it has anything to do with there being both "/" and "\" in the path. It doesn't seem right.

    I don't know if anything was fixed on Unity's side, but I also didn't have the Tools folder. However, today I reinstalled the 2021.3.6 Editor, and then there it was: the Tools folder was placed correctly on expected path!

    No, it hasn't been fixed. Almost 3 weeks now. I'm really glad at least this is the LTS version... what a joke.

    I just upgraded and experienced the same issue -- this thread fixed it - thanks!

    Just in case it helps someone as mine was in one extra nested folder deeper, so I had to create the \Tools folder like described by Zeeppo-Games under .\AndroidPlayer\ and copy the contents of:

    ...\Unity\Hub\Editor\2021.3.6f1\Editor\Data\PlaybackEngines\AndroidPlayer\SDK\cmdline-tools\2.1\*

    To:
    ...Unity\Hub\Editor\2021.3.6f1\Editor\Data\PlaybackEngines\AndroidPlayer\Tools\*

    Unity 2021.3.6f1 in one of the worst releases ever.
    My first issue was that nested Canvases are broken, and now this.

    Despite being known to be broken, 2021.3.6f1 has never been retracted (revoked) from downloads, since July 8th. So you cannot even install the stable version from Unity Hub because it only lists the latest release.

    I know I can use download archive; but isn't that the whole point of Unity Hub — to provide a link to the latest stable LTS?
