Question by Richard 12 · Mar 30, 2011 at 11:36 AM · androidbuildbuild-error

Silent Android build failure

I'm trying to build an Android version of my project. Unity appears to go through the motions, but at the end there is output directory and nothing happens. Nothing is reported to the console. Any ideas? The iOS version works fine.

I've having this exact same problem. Tried reinstalling the Android SD$$anonymous$$ and it didn't work. Tried Build&Run and nothing happens, and Building does not output anything to the folder, but neither does it report any errors. Unity people, where are you?

Same problem here. The AP$$anonymous$$ does not get created. But I have no error messages. Editor log also shows no errors.

Over 3 years after the original question, I'm having exactly the same problem, except for that restarting Unity doesn't fix it! I'm just trying to build for Android, not Build & Run. No files are made at all anymore, though I previously managed to make a load of things other than a .apk file. Please see my question: http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/757674/android-build-not-creating-apk-file-silent-build.html. Please HELP!

I just met this issue in these two days (2/24/2012) It was fine (Unity 3.4.2 Android and HTC Desire Z) But after I upgraded to Unity 3.5, I can not build to the same device with any projects anymore. I thought it was because the something wrong with the Unity version. After did lots of tests and compared, they all didn't work. Turns out, I tried to hit "Build and Run" instead of "Build", then it works. All I want to say is , wtf.
