CommandInvokationFailure: Gradle build failed. Potential Solution

Dear Unity Community,

I just wanted to make a quick post that covered the Error I have had when Building to an Andriod phone.

"CommandInvokationFailure: Gradle build failed. "

Previously I had unnecessary levels of the Unity SDKs installed on my work pc, which took a lot of Disc Space. As SDKs are often backwards compatible I reinstalled Andriod studio and JDK 8. There was 1 major issue where within my windows registry my username had a space. Unity and Android does not like installing SDKs to a file location with a space in the file directory.

So when I did the new install I installed everything on the C: Drive under a folder called "Android". This created an Error within Unity when Building to a Phone. To ensure that you can build to a Phone I advise you to check;

1. That there is an SDK installed to the appropriate API level.
2. Make sure you have JDK 8.0
3.Check the Directories within Unity( Use Unity Edit>Preferences>ExternalTools and make sure the directory is correct.)


I hope this helps.
Kind Regards,
Dan
