Unity 2017.3 cannot build the Android player.

I simply cannot build the Android player with Unity 2017.3.b3, b5 nor b6. The process end with this message in the console:

I did a little research and it seems this problem occurs when you have a plug included in your assets folder, but I do not have any, no DLL nor XML files, nothing that could cause interference. Just my scripts, models, textures, fonts and sounds, nothing else... nothing!

However... I can build it with no problem if I open my project on version 2017.1.2f... by the way this the highest version that compiles my project, any newer version including 2017.2 throws the exception mentioned above. So I'm assuming it is a bug.

Bug report: case 962274

 

Thanks!

Do you think this will be fixed on the final release of 2017.3?
