Unity, Fail to build resources

Question

I'm using windows 10, unity 2017.2.03f, GooglePlayGamesPlugin-0.9.41. I've tried to figure this out but I'm at a complete loss. everything builds fine until i install playgames plugin. I've tried multiple solutions from both here and the unity community site with no luck. they fix these errors but create others resulting in still not being able to build. any help as to a solution would be greatly appreciated, thank you for your time and sorry if this is a stupid question. :)

Answer 1

For anyone who finds this and is having a similar problem, I found the answer is an issue with JDK 9 and unity. After trying about everything else i downgraded to jdk-8u152 and the issue is resolved.

Answer 2

I'm with jdk 8u152 and unity 2017.2 and the issue persists... the issue came up when I selected "auto graphics api" remove the tick and select the graphics api that you want to use and the error will disappear ;)

Answer 3

If someone has come this far and still error exist then you can do this following steps:

First, go to

File -> Build Settings or CTRL + SHIFT + B

and change this

to

and it will Build as expected.

NOTE: You must have Android Studio Installed to work this.

Answer 4

The problem occurs when the compiler conflicts with the plugins in your project. Open /Assets/Plugins and see if there are .jar files that are duplicates or different versions.
