[FIXED] I am not able to build a Unity project for Android

Issue

I made a 2d Game on Unity. But when I try "Build and Run" on Android, the below are the errors shown. I don't understand how to debug this or what to search on Google. Can anyone suggest/tell what to look for or how to solve this? Thank you.

Any suggestion is appreciated. Thank you.

Solution

I've had to deal with this error quite a few times. It is due to the JAVA_HOME path variable not being properly set. You can either manually set it to the proper path, or force Unity to reset it.

To have Unity reset the PATH variables, go to Edit -> Preferences -> External Tools. On this tab, un-check all of these boxes:

Once un-checked, close Unity, re-open it, and then check all of them again. Try building once everything is checked - it should build without errors.
