Question The type or namespace name 'AndroidExternalToolsSettings' does not exist in the namespace 'UnityEdit

Hi there,

So as title reads, I have opened a new project and then switch it to Android and as soon as stop compiling.

The error below appears on console.

Code (CSharp):

1. The type or namespace name 'AndroidExternalToolsSettings' does not exist in the namespace 'UnityEditor.Android'

I'm using Kubuntu 20.04 & Android modules installed too.

 

Hi @MX-Pain. Can you let us know which version of the editor you are running?

 

Hi there, this also happened to me. Here's the full log:

Code (CSharp):

1. Library\PackageCache\com.unity.burst@1.6.5\Editor\BurstAotCompiler.cs(754,27): error CS0234: The type or namespace name 'AndroidExternalToolsSettings' does not exist in the namespace 'UnityEditor.Android' (are you missing an assembly reference?)
2.  

Here are the versions I use:
- Unity Editor 2021.3.1f1
- Burst 1.6.5
- Jobs 0.50.0-preview.9

 

I have the same error after change my unity version to 2022.1.7f1

 

Happening to me as well, Windows 10 Unity Editor 2021.3.1f1 Burst 1.6.5. Updating to Burst 1.6.6 did not resolve.

Does not occur on my M1 Macbook, however!

 

Update: Completely uninstalling & reinstalling Unity fixed this.

 

@ryanmillierca. Hi, how could you remove it? it was gray out ('remove') in my pack manager. Thanks.

 

One of my team members had the same error message after they installed Android SDK. They managed to fix it by restarting the editor.

 

Restart your Unity to fix this

 

restart is helpful.

 

Restarting fixed it for me

 

restart unity
