UnauthorizedAccessException during Android build

Hi,


I am faily new in Unity and I have a fairly simple Unity game which I am trying to build for Android but I am getting Build errors from "Bee" which are all UnauthorizedAccessException problems. Attached are the full logs, below are some extracts.

Unity version 2021.3.1f1

I can't find how to solve this and can't get past it!

Building Library\Bee\artifacts\Android\Features\UnityEngine.ImageConversionModule-FeaturesChecked.txt failed with output:
System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'C:\Users\Jason\Documents\Development\Unity\SnookerCalc\Library\Bee\artifacts\Android\Features\UnityEngine.ImageConversionModule-FeaturesChecked.txt' is denied.
at System.IO.FileStream.ValidateFileHandle(SafeFileHandle fileHandle)

Building Library\Bee\artifacts\Android\Features\UnityEngine.GridModule-FeaturesChecked.txt failed with output:
System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'C:\Users\Jason\Documents\Development\Unity\SnookerCalc\Library\Bee\artifacts\Android\Features\UnityEngine.GridModule-FeaturesChecked.txt' is denied.


Building Library\Bee\artifacts\Android\Features\UnityEngine.DSPGraphModule-FeaturesChecked.txt failed with output:
System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'C:\Users\Jason\Documents\Development\Unity\SnookerCalc\Library\Bee\artifacts\Android\Features\UnityEngine.DSPGraphModule-FeaturesChecked.txt' is denied.


Etc.

 

First step is to make sure your Unity installation is good.

Start by making a fresh blank project and adding a single scene, nothing else, switch to Android and try to build it.

Iterate on that until your Unity installation is successful and can build an empty project.

Once that builds, if your main project still doesn't build, then bisect between the two until you find what is causing the issue.

 

Thanks for responding.

So I created a new project and just added a single UI element and tried to build for Android and I have the same error.


But, if I switch the Unity version to 2020.3.33f1 (previously 2021.3.1f1), then both the original and the new applications build successfully!

 

I got the same problem here with this version. I'm looking for a solution...

 

Ok, in my case, my anti-virus was the problem and was locking the folder. Try to disable your anti-virus and build.

 

I had a similar issue with 2021.3.18
Disabling anti-virus solved it. Thank you!
