Unknown property 'GradleVersion'

I just upgraded my project from Unity 2017.4 to 2019.1 and I am having problems building now

I receive the below error

Any hints to where and how I can fix this?

CommandInvokationFailure: Gradle build failed.

I have the same issue. Did you find a way to solve it?

 

I had this issue while trying to upgrade an old project to 2019.1.8f1. The android build stops with the following error:

Could not get unknown property 'GradleVersion' for repository container of type org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.dsl.DefaultRepositoryHandler.

You need to go into the 'ProjectMainFolder'/Temp/gradleOut folder. There are several folders in this folder and one of them could be 'native_plugins_lib'. Inside the native_plugins_lib folder, you should find the build.gradle file. The 'GradleVersion' property is in the build.gradle file. I had the followings:

--------------------------------------------------------------------

buildscript {
repositories {
if (GradleVersion.current() >= GradleVersion.version("4.2")) {
jcenter()
google()
} else {
jcenter()
mavenLocal()
}
}
dependencies {
// use newer version of the plugin for newer unity/gradle versions
if (GradleVersion.current() < GradleVersion.version("4.0")) {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.0'
} else if (GradleVersion.current() < GradleVersion.version("4.2")) {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.3'
} else {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.1'
}
}
}
apply plugin: 'com.android.library'
dependencies {
if (GradleVersion.current() >= GradleVersion.version("4.2"))
{
implementation fileTree(dir: 'bin', include: ['*.jar'])
implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
}
else
{
compile fileTree(dir: 'bin', include: ['*.jar'])
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
}
}

--------------------------------------------------------------------

I removed all lines with 'GradleVersion' and got the following:

--------------------------------------------------------------------

buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
google()
}
dependencies {
// use newer version of the plugin for newer unity/gradle versions
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.1'
}
}
apply plugin: 'com.android.library'
dependencies {
implementation fileTree(dir: 'bin', include: ['*.jar'])
implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
}

--------------------------------------------------------

You might need to repeat this process to remove 'GradleVersion' from other build.gradle file in other folders in the gradleOut directory.

Then, inside the gradleOut directory, you can try to run the build from the command prompt by copying the command from the "CommandInvokationFailure: Gradle build failed." error message in the Unity console, in my case:
"C:\Program Files\Unity\Hub\Editor\2019.1.8f1\Editor\Data\PlaybackEngines\AndroidPlayer/Tools\OpenJDK\Windows\bin\java.exe" -classpath "C:\Program Files\Unity\Hub\Editor\2019.1.8f1\Editor\Data\PlaybackEngines\AndroidPlayer\Tools\gradle\lib\gradle-launcher-5.1.1.jar" org.gradle.launcher.GradleMain "-Dorg.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx4096m" "assembleRelease" --stacktrace

Note that I also added '--stacktrace' to the end of the command that I got from the Unity console.

Hopefully, everything goes fine and you will find your apk in the following folder:
'ProjectMainFolder'\Temp\gradleOut\build\outputs\apk

 

We are having the same problems in Unity 2018.4.4.

2018.4.3 works fine so we downgraded to 4.3 waiting for a fix from Unity

 

same here. 4.3 works fine

 

Thanks! I've just updated to Unity 2019.1.11 and was faced with this error out of nowhere... :-D

 

I tried to remove the GradleVersion as you suggested and it worked! Thanks! I also found a new version of the plugin which took care of this as well.

 

Could you share the new version of the plugin that solved this?

 

The newest version of the Native Plugins solved this (1.5.7 p2):

"Submitted Unity 2019.1 version for Supporting new gradle version and AndroidX"

https://assetstore.unity.com/packag...ross-platform-native-plugins-ultra-pack-31086

 

Sorry guys! We have posted long back on our forums about this. Unfortunately, I couldn't notice this thread on unity forum.

Please update these files and it should be good to go.


In-fact we do have this fix from 2019.17f1 on store but not for older versions as some other plugins might expect gradle 3.4 along with androidx packages - which is only available from 2019.1.7.

However, as long as there is no such dependency with the other plugins you are using, you can still update the above files and stay on your existing version.

Thanks,
VB Team

 

Maybe this could help someone later.. I spent almost three hours on a bug like this one (gradleout unknown property). Now, it seems stupid, but I had some commented code in my baseTemplate.gradle and mainTemplate.gradle that were "overriden" by Unity during build.. Those properties were overriden but still "commented".. so not working.. Removing all comments from templates fixed the issues.
