then i go back to Unity 2018.3.6 everything is OK.

 

Hello Iam getting the exact same error in Unity 2017_4_27

Can you please tell me how you fixed the same.

 

Hey Fixed this issue

if you are exporting the android project then don't remove the following string resource -
<string name="game_view_content_description">Game view</string> that is there by default in the project string.xml

 

I had the same issue and tried to add the minimal set of resources needed by Unity to run.
It seem that the only necessary resource is that string so I added it as an empty string (see in string.xml):

Code (CSharp):

1. <string name="game_view_content_description"></string>

 

WOW! That was a saviour!! Thank you!!!

 

That saved my life too. The thing I don't understand is where in Settings we might have accidentally been removing this XML string resource? I don't remember doing so. Is there an "export without important string resources" check box? Kidding of course.

Update: Yeah so does anyone know the best way to ensure that the string resource is provided by your Unity project? I was researching this issue further and it appears that the practice has been deprecated of leaving XML res/ files inside your Android plugin inside Unity. So what's the ideal way to make sure this resource is being bundled into the UAAL build?

 

you saved my life
