Do you have any updates on this? Are there any workarounds or other SDK versions?

[RaidelRoss]

I have the same issue. Any thoughts on this? Any solutions? Here you can download other versions: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/unity/downloads/ I will be trying others to see if any work.

[RaidelRoss]

I have the same issue for:
->facebook-unity-sdk-15.1.0
->facebook-unity-sdk-16.0.0
->facebook-unity-sdk-16.0.1
->facebook-unity-sdk-16.0.2

in:
->Unity 2021.2.32f1
->com.google.external-dependency-manager:1.2.177(I can't use the Facebook <com.google.external-dependency-manager:1.2.166>; it's not compatible with other SDKs)
->gradle-5.1.1

Same issue with Unity 2021.3.28f1 and SDK version 14.0.1. Tried Android target API level 30 and 34. Both fail.
Android target API level 33 works.

[AlanLiu90]

Same issue with Unity 2020.3.48. Changing compileSdkVersion to 33 (while keeping targetSdkVersion 34) in launcher/build.gradle in the exported gradle project seemed to work. Although there is an error (The compileSdkVersion (33) should not be lower than the targetSdkVersion (34)) shown in Android Studio, but it builds successfully.

[SyaoranChang]

Same issue with Unity 2021.3.31f1 and SDK version 16.0.2.
Same as PlayaPeter tried Android target API level 34, but build fail.
Switch to Android target API level 33 works.
I hope to fix the issue of not being able to use Android target API level 34 for building.

[Ajasmm3plus]

Because of this I have to take build in Android studio.

[kocburak]

@Ajasmm3plus How did you managed to build with andorid export ? I couldn't make it work.

[Awais6]

I have the same issue, It occurs on Facebook SDK latest version 17.0.1

[WilliamHiiTW]

Because of this I have to take build in Android studio.

@Ajasmm3plus Is it possible for you to show complete steps on how you bypass this error by taking build in Android studio?

[Awais6]

No one here to resolve the issue on facebook latest SDK 17.0.1, any work around?

What's wrong?

Unity 2021.3 using Build Tools installed with Unity: build-tools v. 30.0.2
To build with FB you need Target API Level 34 AND Build Tools v. 34+

How to solve it

1. Install Build Tools v. 34+ using Android Studio
2. Open gradleTemplate.properties (from Assets/Plugins/Android)
3. Add at the end:

**ADDITIONAL_PROPERTIES**
android.aapt2FromMavenOverride=c:/Users/USER/AppData/Local/Android/Sdk/build-tools/34.0.0/aapt2.exe

It's work for unity build
But using com.google.android.appbundle, the error is reported again

[EmreYapar]

none of the solutions above work for me, anyone found another solution?

I have removed the SDK and now using graph API link (REST Api) for login, it works like a charm and let you get rid of buggy SDK.

[DarkYuanJs]

上述解决方案对我都不起作用，有人找到了其他解决方案吗？

你要检查你的sdk目录是否下载好，那个34.0.0

[KRKimJaeSeop]

Try to raise the Minimum API Level. In my case, it works because I raise it to 24...

[joaovitoraramo]

In my case:
compileSdkVersion = 33
targetSdkVersion = 34

This solve the problem and makes build correctly. Btw cleans the warning in the play console about the sdk version of my app.

Edit: Don't forget to update your Android Studio or just download de newer sdk tools.

I have the same issue with FBSDK 16.0.1 and Unity 2021.3.15.
I will try the "android.aapt2FromMavenOverride" fix

Sorry for the late replay.

I had no issues when exporting as android studio project.

I follow the below steps to take build.

• Whenever a popup shows for Android SDKselection. Choose Android Studio sdk
• Click on the fix on build error. Upgrade gradle wrapper to 7.2
• Remove enable r8 in gardler properties
• Upgrade Gradle through AGP to 7.4.2
• Set modules to use Build tool 34.0.0 in (File->Project structure, I am not sure about the path)
• Copy exclude section from the Launcher gradle to unity library gradles exclude section. Packaging options
• Remove app icon from unity library manifest

The above steps might be only applicable to my project.
