I read that you need to set app_name in strings.xml under /res but I have no clue where /res/value is in the project(I added it to all /res/value files I could find), which here is that code.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<string name="app_name">PlatformVR</string>
</resources>

Sorry for any wrong formatting, I have never posted here in the forums.

 

I think you should use @String/app_name (lowercase s)

 

same here, when i try to use gradle for build, related to my post here https://forum.unity.com/threads/unity-2017-1-android-build-error.482738/

 

@chuck666 what is the exact error you are getting ?

 

any fixes yet guys?

 

I was having similar issues (on macOS rather than Windows however) today and what solved it for me was changing the JDK version in External Tools. It had automatically selected 1.7 despite me having 1.8 installed, so I set it to the most recent version and everything built fine.

 

I downloaded Google VR SDK and tried to build the demo scene named "hello vr". I am using JDK 1.8 and Unity 2017.3.0f3, I am still getting this error. I tried with JDK 1.9 as well but there is no improvement. Please help.

 

that true.

 

any news guys

 

I was able to fix the "Gradle build failed" error by installing older Java version - (Java SE Development Kit 8u161) and updating the pathway in Unity Preferneces>External tools> JDK to the older Java.

 

• I am not able to build apk. Please help me to come out to this problem.

 

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html
I changed JDK from 9 to 8. I could build apk ! Please try it.

 

I am using JDK 8 (Java SE Development Kit 8u161) and i am still getting grade build error please help!

 

I had the same problem and solved in the following way. My problem is install the last Android SDK Build Tools 28 RC1 after uninstall problem solved.

 

@muratti32 you saved me! Was stuck on this for far too long. Tried all kinds of solutions. Thanks!

 

hey guys!
I have the same problem, and i can't fix it...
I tried doing what @muratti32 said, but it still doesn't work.
Any suggestions?

 

I was having the same problem when I saw that I did not have NDK, I downloaded it and I'm testing it, if it works, I'll return the result to you

... No, it did not work.

 

Okay, it worked, switch from Gradle to Internal

 

@Alef_Ribeiro yeah, that works. but then you won't be able to export project into android studio...
There should be a solution for this...
(Edit: it didn't work that way for me either.. "failed to assign APK")

 

Hey man, could you get it to run on an Android Device with the Internal build?

 

Thanks man! you just saved my life!! it's working to me.

 

None of the solutions is working for me.
Am having the same error messages as the dick guy.

 

did you solve this problem?

 

Yes as per dick's instruction I changed the Buid from Gradle to internal now its working for me.☺☺

 

Finally... Worked for me!

 

Tryed everything and it didnt work. I have no idea why unity have a support, if they aint help.

 

@sulanhava please PM me, or check out the link in my signature.

 

Thanks macdonaldcalum
Solved because of your solution....

 

@muratti32 Thanks. Your solution worked for me.

 

it worked!ty

 

In my android studio 28RC1 was not installed also 27.0.3. I installed 27.0.3 then it worked for me

 

@muratti32
Thanks so much!! This solution worked for me. For anyone else struggling, I am using SDK Build-Tools 27.0.3.
Good luck everyone!

 

HEY GUYS THIS FINALLY WORKED FOR ME!!
Im using Android SDK Build-Tools 27.0.3 and JDK 1.8.0
My version of Unity is the latest for the time, 2018.2.0f2
I also did an Internal build instead of a Gradle.
Even though there are newer versions of the Android SDK and JDK available, these older ones im using are the ones that work.


Thanks to the guys in this thread, and to a bit of random luck. Goodluck to everyone else.

 

were you able to solve this issue?

 

Thanks buddy, it works for me

 

That Works ，Thanks a lot

 

I uninstall all version of 'SDK build-tools', and than I install 27.0.3 version only. And now building projects is OK.

 

This worked for me

 

I had the same issue, just delete the core 1.4 ( mine was the ar core 1.4 I put into my plugins). that fold collides with the manifest and causes it to crash.

 

Had these issues.. and followed all the above. Still did not fix it.

My problem was the path that Unity auto filled in Preferences when picking up my Android SDK. It used:

\Users\<name>\AppData\Local\Android\sdk

.. so when building it was looking for this path inside the folder where I was outputting the build.

Once I changed it to

C:\Users\<name>\AppData\Local\Android\sdk

All worked.

Just in case anyone else is having similar
Cheers

Can anyone help me on fixing this error

 

What is your Backend Scripting set to in the build player settings?
As far as I know, IL2CPP needs NDK installed, but Mono does not.

 

You saved me !!!!!!! Thanks!!!!

 

You have some manifest of some android library in your project that references this resource: integer/google_play_services_version

This is not possible when building via Gradle (see the "Gradle troubleshooting" page in the docs for more info).

 

i switched from gardle to interal but the same error ???

 

@marwanelkaouri can you post your full error message ?
In case you cannot solve the issue yourself, feel free to contact me privately via the link in my signature below.

 

Please help. Similar here but with this error:

Had similar problem. In error there was a line saying that at a specific path(assets/plugins/android) there is a xml that has an unexpected line that contain requestedExecutionLevel, so I just commented out that line like this: <!---<requestedExecutionLevel level="requireAdministrator" uiAccess="false" />--> The xml needs to be there to handle my apps permissions to use bluetooth and other resorces (bluetooth does not work without that), so I left it there in plugins/android folder. Hope someone finds this helpfull.
