Question by royboy9613 · Aug 02, 2013 at 02:16 AM · androidunityeditor

Unity Detecting Wrong Android SDK Version

I'm wondering why Unity is detecting the wrong android SDK version

I finish an android app on unity,

I open build settings, change to android, and finally build it

Instead of building, I get a window asking me for my android SDK root folder

I'm assuming it is C:/Program Files (x86)/Android/android-SDK (correct me if I'm wrong)

After I select it, another window comes out and says: "Android SDK outdated 15 < 21"

And another one that comes out when I click continue: "Android platform tools out of date 19 < 16"

Finally when click continue again, I get the last message saying: "Android SDK missing platform API (minimum required is android 4.0)"

(I always keep my android SDK up to date)

I tried re-installing unity and checking if I missed anything for android, but they all don't work. Is anyone else also experiencing this? And does anyone have a solution for this?

You need to update your Android SDK. Open your SDK folder and run the SDK Manager you find there. Install the latest SDK. Note: The SDK Manager probably needs to be restarted severyl times since some updates will update the manager itself. The manager will inform you about that ;) Good luck.

edit
I forgot to say that you have to start the SDK Manager with Administrator privileges or it can't update the SDK. Also make sure you don't have installed the SDK several times. If updating doesn't help you might use a FileMonitor (now integrated into the ProcessMonitor).

As well as checking the installed SDKs, have a look at your Build Tools too. You can check the .\build-tools sub-directory in your SDK folder to see which version of the build tools are installed

Update the Build Tools using the SDK Manager just as you update the SDK. Look under the first section “Tools”

Running Unity as Administrator and allowing it to update the SDK for me worked. (File > Build Settings > Build > Would you like to update the SDK?)
