Bug CommandInvokationFailure: Gradle build failed. 2023.08.09

I’ve just installed Unity 2022.3.6f1. Then I tried to compile an empty game, but it failed to build the game. When all the build process is almost completed, it hangs for a while and then throws an error "Gradle build failed, see console for details”. My projects are stored in C:\Users\Public\UnityGames.
Errors:

Unfortunately Unity 2022 seems to be strongly overrepresented here as far as reports of issues go.

Sounds like you have already done the empty project trick, but I'll post my standard checklist and hopefully something in one of the links can be helpful.

How to troubleshoot build failures:

First, make a blank project with a single blank scene and prove that it builds successfully. (yes, I realize you said you already did this!)

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:

Android Gradle errors and other related stuff:

I think I found a solution for the errors "CommandInvokationFailure: Gradle build failed" and "Cannot use @TaskAction annotation on method IncrementalTask.taskAction$gradle_core()"

STEP 1: Install and manually swap Unity recommended preferences for custom JDK, SDK, NDK, and Gradle.
Here is a great video I found:

My settings:

The video didn't remind me to get the "cmdline-tools" via Android Studio, so remember to get it via Settings > Android SDK > SDK Tools > Android SDK Commaned-line Tools version 8.0.

STEP 2: You may get an error saying:
"* What went wrong:
Could not determine the dependencies of task ':launcher:lintVitalReportRelease'.
> Could not create task ':launcherrocessReleaseMainManifest'.
> Cannot use @TaskAction annotation on method IncrementalTask.taskAction$gradle_core() because interface org.gradle.api.tasks.incremental.IncrementalTaskInputs is not a valid parameter to an action method."

Luckily, I found a great video that showed me that the issue was the version of my gradle. So, download version 7.3.3
