CommandInvokationFailure: Failed to re-package resources

Question

I've just recently began development for the Gear VR on Unity 5, and after creating my scene, which is just a basic room with the cameras, I get the error "Failed to re-package resources". I tried some of the methods listed in other threads here, but to no avail. Any help would be appreciated. Here's the error codes:

 CommandInvokationFailure: Failed to re-package resources. See the Console for details.

I got the same error. What it looks like is that Unity does not work well with the version "24.0.0-preview" of the Android SDK build tools.

Solution: 1.) Quit unity 2.) Make sure you have e.g. the version "23.0.0" of the Android build tools installed. 3.) Find the folder called "24.0.0-preview" in your android SDK and delete it. ( Or move it somewhere else to copy it back again once you're "done" with your unity dev'ing and maybe want to use the latest Android SDK for other stuff. 4.) Restart unity, exporting.

This worked for me. It's not a great solution, because you basically can't use the latest Android SDK version...

I tried to find a place "in unity" where one could configure which SDK version to use, but couldn't find that.

I haven't filed a bug report yet, but maybe that'd be a good idea...

I was having the same problem with 24.0.0, but not 24.0.0-preview. Nevertheless, this solution solved the issue for me by reverting to 23.0.3.
