Bug Can't build my game after started using Unity 2023.1.13f1

Hello,

I was using Unity 2021.3.16f1 to build my game and It was building succesfully. For google play related reasons I needed to update my Unity to latest version. After starting using version 2023.1.13f1, I can't build my game.

The error when building:

* I don't use custom gradle or manifest

When I delete resolved libraries(Assets -> External Dependency Manager -> Android Resolver -> Delete Resolved Libraries) It builds succesfully, but I'm not sure if it break something else.

Can somebody share informations about this?

 

Are you sure? I am building with SDK 33 and Unity2020.3.41f1

ISSUES RELATED TO UPGRADING PROJECTS (eg, changing to a higher Unity version)

Upgrading to a later version of Unity is a one-way process. Any project that has been updated should NEVER be reverted to an earlier version of Unity because this is expressly not supported by Unity. Doing so exposes your project to internal inconsistencies and breakage that may actually be impossible to repair.

If you want to upgrade to a newer version of Unity, do not even consider it until you have placed your project fully under proper source control. This goes double or triple for non-LTS (Tech Stream) versions of Unity3D, which can be extremely unstable compared with LTS.

Once you have source-controlled your project then you may attempt a Unity upgrade. Immediately after any attempted upgrade you should try to view as much of your project as possible, with a mind to looking for broken animations or materials or any other scripting errors or runtime issues.

After an upgrade you should ALWAYS build to all targets you contemplate supporting: iOS and Android can be particularly finicky, and of course any third party libraries you use must also "play nice" with the new version of Unity. Since you didn't write the third party library, it is up to you to vet it against the new version to make sure it still works.

If there are issues in your testing after upgrading Unity, ABANDON the upgrade, revert your project in source control and be back where you were pre-upgrade with the earlier version of Unity.

Obviously the less you test after the upgrade the more chance you will have of an undiscovered critical issue.

This risk of upgrading is entirely on you and must be considered whenever you contemplate a Unity version upgrade.

Do not upgrade "just for fun" or you may become very unhappy.

ISSUES RELATED TO GOING BACK OR UNDOING BREAKING CHANGES TO YOUR WORK

Keep in mind that Unity does NOT back your files up. That's on YOU.

Use either version control (see below) or else make your own backups.




How to troubleshoot build failures:

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

If the blank project does NOT build, go fix your Unity installation or your other tools, such as Android SDK, NDK, JDK, etc. It may even be necessary to change to a different version of Unity3D. It is generally best to stay with LTS versions of Unity3D.

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 whatever subsystem is making the build fail.

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/

Here was how I brought up Unity2020.3.41 and the Android SDK 31 on October 30, 2022 (edited on August 23, 2023 to include Android SDK 33...):

Thanks for your reply.

Google Play says "Google Billing Library version will be depraceted in November, all app updates must use Billing Library version 5 or newer". I thought I have to upgrade Unity version for that but I just checked version compatibility between Unity, Unity IAP and Billing Library:

- Starting from Unity IAP 4.8.0, Billing Library version is at least 5.1.0
- Unity IAP 4.8.0 is installable starting from Unity 2020.3

----------

Also about the building problem; multiple versions of Unity shouldn't be installed at the same time. It breaks something when building complex projects and shows unreasonable errors.

I uninstalled all Unity versions and Unity Hub then reinstalled only 2021.3.30f1 LTS version. Now I can build my project after resolving mobile dependencies.
