Resolved Unity Hub does not install correct version of Android NDK

Hi. I found that Unity Hub 3.1.2 + Unity 2022.2.0a13 cannot build Android client due to missing Android NDK error. Re-installing Unity and Android module does not work.

You can see warning message like this in Preference window:

You are missing the recommended Android NDK. Install the recommended version using Unity Hub.

I tested on Mac Pro 2019 with macOS Monterey 12.3.1.

 

@Yury-Habets Hi. It there any news for this? (or public issue tracker link?)

 

Plz can u provide the link to the supported NDK version for b13?? The link u has another version which isn't supported by b13

 

I found the NDK by changing the download of the current ndk url to this: https://dl.google.com/android/repository/android-ndk-r23b-darwin.dmg

 

@Yury-Habets
I don't know it is related to this issue, but I found that Unity Hub 3.2.0 always failed to install Android commandline tools module when installing Unity 2022.1.8f1 on Windows.

 

Wrote this for a18 but would imagine same process worked for 2022.1 too if needed... https://forum.unity.com/threads/android-tools-in-unity-2022-2.1294815/#post-8257602

 

It's very weird that we required hub to download android SDK and NDK and other dependency. Yet they will be loaded into separated unity folder even though difference version of unity might be shared the same version of some dependencies

While unity editor try to fixed itself to specific version of dependencies yet it cannot download its own dependencies. But it relegate the hub to manage its version. Without any benefit to anyone

To be honest, the design of this flow is totally mismatch. It should be opposite. The editor should be able to force hub to download dependencies for them in any version and the hub should be always obediently download it. But hub should centralizing the version of them to be shared so it don't need to download duplicate version which is a waste of space and time

 

Hi,
I just installed Unity 2021.3.9f1. I am facing issues building app bundle. Get following error when I take Option Update Android SDK:

SDK version 28.0.3 < 29.0.2 If I say update Android SDK it gives following message: UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'C:\Program Files\Unity\Hub\Editor\2021.3.9f1\Editor\Data\PlaybackEngines\AndroidPlayer\SDK\tempToolsDir' is denied.

I checked there is no directory by the name tempToolsDir

When I take the option Use Highest Installed I get the following error:
Android NDK not found or invalid, fix it in Edit/Unity --> Preferences --> External Tools

I installed SDK/NDK etc with Unity Hub only.

Please help.

 

For anyone still facing this issue in 2024, I fixed it by installing the Android module in steps from Unity HUB:
1- Install the editor alone.
2- Install the Android module, but JUST THE sdk&ndk (avoid the Java installation).
3- Install Java.
4- Install the other modules you need. (win, mac, ios, etc.).

Cheers.
