Android Is anyone else having issues with Gradle?

[Leonard Menchiari]

I have tried all the combinations of all the API, IDE, SDK, NDE, trying to stick with API 29 with NDE 20 like it's written in the documentation.
I have also installed manually the offline-gradle like mentioned here.

Here are some screenshots:






This is what I get:

It's been a couple of weeks now and I'm starting to get somewhat frustrated with this. Anyone knows what's going on?

To build with API level 29, you should probably use Build Tools 29.0.3.
That said, I don't know what's with the "allib" errors which seems to be somewhat related to apk expansion.
You might want to search for it in the forum to see related discussions.

Thank you chirpy. Still nothing though... It seems like other than the "allib" which I'm looking into the main issue is this line:

Android NDK: android-14 is unsupported. Using minimum supported version android-16.   
Android NDK: WARNING: APP_PLATFORM android-16 is higher than android:minSdkVersion 14 in ./AndroidManifest.xml. NDK binaries will *not* be compatible with devices older than android-16. See https://android.googlesource.com/platform/ndk/+/master/docs/user/common_problems.md for more information.

For some reason is compiling with android-14 even if the minimum SDK is reported to be 16 under Game Options - Android.
I've been trying to change AndroidManifest.xml through notepad but it gets overwritten. I think I need to find where it's receiving the command from. Any ideas?
