Hi. I got the error "Unable to list target platforms" whenever I try to build app for android in ubuntu 14.04

I checked the SDK path but It was right. Also I reinstalled all of android-sdk to resolve the problem
but It was failed.
SDK-tools-version is rev 25.2.4 and sdk-platform tools are 25.0.2
jdk version is 8u111

Is there any compatible issue to use unity3d editor for linux ?
Please let me know how to solve the problem !

I also encountered this problem

 

Got the same error, after upgrading Android SK Tools to 25.3.1

 

Downgrading to 25.2.2 solution works. Thanks a lot for help!

 

Same error has today in Eclipse and now in Unity.
Found great solution from distributor:

1) just open https://developer.android.com/studio/index.html

2) scrolldown to the bottom of that page

3) find Windows "tools_r25.2.3-windows.zip"
download and unzip it

4) remove and replace your folder "SDK" + "/tools"

5) Enjoy!

6) By "SDK Manager" do upgrade to 25.2.5

7) Now works all: Eclipse, Android Studio, Unity.
Enjoy again!

 

This is the problem:

They just removed the "android" command with the new update. Rolling back works.

 

PiedLove_com, thank you! It works!

 

Thanks a lot man!!!!

 

You are a nice man!! I love you!!

 

Can we get this remedied?

 

Same here please I'm also Android Dev and I cannot just downgrade the tools. Is there any other workaround or fix?

 

Thanks bro.. it works

 

I'd like to add that this worked for me as well. Thanks!!

(Note that I had tried rolling back to having 24 installed only while removing 25 completely (which took awhile for me). And I still received the same error message.) But after removing and replacing just the Tools folder as stated above, it was able to continue the build.

To reference something else mentioned in this post: https://answers.unity3d.com/questio...-platforms-when-i-try-to-buil.html?sort=votes

I stopped getting the error "Invalid command android" too once I removed and replaced the contents of the Tools folder.

 

I met the same problem, it happend when I upgrade my android SDK by using Android Studio.
It seems Unity does not supppot Android SDK tools 25.3.1, which change the command "android.bat".
I have to downgrade to the r25.2.3~
When will unity support the newest version of Android SDK, the Unity 5.5.2p3 is still the same.

 

Running into this same issue on mac with unity 5.5.2f1, and android sdk tools 25.0.2. I'm with ianholing and watsonsong, is there an update coming to unity to fix this?

 

I just copied the SDK to another location and downgraded it there specifically for use with Unity while leaving the original copy (used by Android Studio) intact and updated

 

Thanks!!!

 

Obrigado!!! Deu certinho.

 

will the unity fix this so it is compatible with new version of android? thank you

 

Thanks a lot man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

PiedLove_com

I LOVE U

Cancer was cured when I saw this solution.

 

INCREDIBLE. I was just setting everything up to do an online course and am completely new to Unity and Android SDK. I was worried I wasn't gonna be able to figure it out, but the explanation was clear. This solution worked and was the most amazing thing I could have asked for.

You da real MVP

 

Thank you

 

Thanks a lot that worked for me too! great thanks!

 

Same error, I spent 2 or 3 hours wondering what I'd done wrong ............

Thx for the answer !

 

Thanks man!!

 

This worked for me straight away. Thanks dude!

 

Thanks a lot! worked for me too!

 

Downgrading to 25.2.2 also worked for me. I am running windows 10. My SDK Platform Tools are at version 25.0.4.

Also, if you're having trouble figuring out how to 'rollback'/'downgrade' your SDK tools I found this post to be really helpful: http://stackoverflow.com/a/11514698

Is this an issue with 5.6? I'm using 5.5.2f1 and I'm wondering whether upgrading Unity would resolve this.

 

I just tried with 5.6, same issue.

 

Thanks PiedLove_com, your solution did help!!

 

Thank you it works!
Important in my case was not to replace the folder but just files inside.

 

I'm experiencing this problem too. This is the error I'm currently receiving when trying to build my game:

Anybody have any ideas?

 

Tried Unity 5.6, same issue still, had to downgrade SDK tools to 25.2.3

 

Is there any issue open related to this? Tell me where to put my votes.

 

PiedLove_com's solution also works on Mac

 

Thanks a bunch for this! It really is as simple as just inserting an old version of the build tools until Unity comes out with a fix.

 

thaaaaaaaanks, this saved me!

 

Thanks! This worked for me.

 

Removing the tools and downgrading worked here as well., Thanks a ton!

 

There's an issue reported and ( kinda ) fixed: https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/is...-android-sdk-tools-25-dot-3-1-version-is-used

Let's wait for... eh.. 2017.1. --I knew it! Joe cheats us again.. -skipping 2012.1 version numbers!

 

thanks man, it works!

 

I just noticed that this bug is not yet fixed in 2017.1 beta 2.
Reported it..

 

This is the specific link for the SDK tools: https://dl.google.com/android/repository/tools_r25.2.3-windows.zip

 

Had a same problem, I do not know if it is just me or something changed on the Android website but I could not download/find: "tools_r25.2.3-windows.zip", after googling it I have found it on this website:
https://fossies.org/windows/misc/android-tools_r25.2.3-windows.zip/

or use link that Byte56 has posted above.

just tested it and works like a charm!!!! Thanks !

 

I got an answer from UT:
"... This issue should be fixed in 2017.1.0b3 when it comes out, is fixed in 5.6.0p3 and will be backported to 5.5 and 5.4 (no exact version yet). ..."

Oh and btw. this isn't Linux specific. I am on Windows.

Edit: It works with 2017.1 b3.. finally.
Just use the tools folder shipped with your installed Android Studio version.
