    Just installed the latest LTS version of unity 2019 (2019.4.12) hoping it would have a newer android platform sdk bundled with it: android-29 for android 10. There seem to be some things changed in that direction from the previous version, but inside the unity path: 'C:\Program Files\Unity\Hub\Editor\2019.4.12f1\Editor\Data\PlaybackEngines\AndroidPlayer\SDK'
    the 'platforms' folder is missing and right in the SDK folder listed above, there is an android-10 folder.
    Trying to make a build for android with the 'Android SDK Tools installed with unity' setting from Preferences checked, and also the 'Automatic (highest installed) as a Target API Level from Player/Other Settings, gives an error: Required API level 26.

    Also the android-10 folder that seems to be misplaced in the android sdk folder instead of the 'SDK/platforms', isn't for the api-10 (Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread), right?

    I have the same problem, cannot build my game with 2019.4.12f on android because it can't find the installed SDKs.

    How do we solve this?

    I have this exact same problem, everything up from the 2019.3.14f1 (this is the last version where everything works, even new projects) have some issues with missing SDK. I even installed "missing" packages with Android SDK Manager and change the path in unity, but it didn't help. I recently updated Unity Hub to 2.4.1, not sure if this is relevant.

    We're aware about this issue, the fix is on the way. In the meantime, you can do a workaround like here https://forum.unity.com/threads/and...itional-sdk-platform-issue-workaround.963626/

    For ex.,
    • Close Unity
    • From Windows menu (left bottom corner), type cmd, right click, Run As administrator
    • Enter this command

    Code (CSharp):
    1. "C:\Program Files\Unity\Hub\Editor\2019.4.12f1\Editor\Data\PlaybackEngines\AndroidPlayer\SDK\tools\bin\sdkmanager.bat" "platforms;android-26"
    Modify Unity path accordingly. This command will install API Level 26, if you need a different API Level, change the number as needed
    • Start Unity, it should pick up newly installed API Level
    Note: This issue is present only on Windows, Mac and Linux should be unaffected.

    I have this issue on Mac, so... You might want to double check that...

    Edit: I should say that I'm using 2019.4.14f1

    Edit2: I was able to get it working with sdkmanager. One thing, in case someone else gets bitten: Don't just run sdkmanager "platforms;android-##". Instead, CD into the relevant Unity folder where the SDK is stored and run ./sdkmanager so you're absolutely sure it won't launch some other sdkmanager that just happens to be on the path. The android tool chain is such a trainwreck...
