Android - Error building Player: CommandInvokationFailure: Failed to re-package resources

Question

Hi,

so I have been trying to build simple game on android and during build I've got error message below. Googling it didn't help.

I'm using lastest versions of Unity, Android SDK (everything from SDK Manager under Extras, Tools, Android 4.4.3 and Android 2.3.3) and Java SDK. My OS is Windows 8.1. Everything works fine when using Unity Remote. Any ideas what should I do? :(

 Error building Player: CommandInvokationFailure: Failed to re-package resources. See the Console for details.
 C:\Program Files\Android SDK\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140321\sdk\build-tools\android-4.4.2\aapt.exe package --auto-add-overlay -v -f -m -J gen -M AndroidManifest.xml -S "res" -I "C:/Program Files/Android SDK/adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140321/sdk/platforms/android-19\android.jar" -F bin/resources.ap_

So I managed to solve the issue. I still have no clue what caused the problem, but error stopped showing when I moved whole project directly under "documents" folder (I usually has my projects in another folder). Hope it'll help if someone ran into this problem in future.

EDIT: if someone wants to share his opinion on why I have to use "documents" folder for storing my projects, I'd appreciative it. I'm actually really curious about what's exactly happening here.

This is absolutely what fixed my problem. Thanks :)

Thanks, it worked. Note to others : you really need to delete the folder manually (using the SD$$anonymous$$ Manager to delete the 24.0.0 build tools wasn't enough).

Moving zipalign.exe didn't work unfortunately for me but deleting Android SD$$anonymous$$ 24 folder (like suggested in stackoverflow link) did work (now using 23 again).

Thank you! Spot on! This is exactly what solved my issue and removed those errors. So, eventually the solution was to add: svcSupport.DependOn("com.google.android.gms", "play-services-analytics", "LATEST"); into AdMobDependencies.cs (I was trying to integrate mobile ads), but it could be another *Dependencies.cs script if you are integrating something else, like Google Play Game Services, etc.

I had this exact same error recently. After many hours of research and trying out multiple solutions from many sources on the net, I found out my solution was removing an accented letter 'e' (é) from the Unity project folder name. This was on Unity 4.6.1f1 with the Android SDK 2.1.1.1.

After applying my 'fix', I installed Unity 5 and completely reinstalled Android SDK Tools 24.1.2 and Android SDK Build Tools 21.1.2 and still have no problems building.

I don't know if this will help anyone else, but it did for me. Serves me right for using fancy French letters.

can you explain little bit more

The project folder's name had an accented é in it. I renamed the folder and reopened it in a new installation of Unity 5 and it built normally again.

However, if I remember correctly, I was still getting the build error in Unity 5 and removing the accented letter seemed to have fixed it. I can't remember anymore as I'm no longer working on that particular project.
