Help with Android exportation

UpsetChicken

Hi. Managed to sucessfully set my game to Android, by using valid adb, jarsigner and keystore. Great.

Godot finally allowed me to export my game to the .aab format, but when I click to export it gives me the following error message:

**FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

Where: Settings file 'C:\Users\myUsername\Documents\myGameName\android\build\settings.gradle'
What went wrong: Could not compile settings file 'C:\Users\myUsername\Documents\myGameName\android\build\settings.gradle'.

startup failed: General error during semantic analysis: Unsupported class file major version 62**

What does all that mean?

Godot version: 3.3.2 JDK version: 18.0.1

(I also noticed that the 'settings.gradle' and 'build.gradle' files are empty, why?)

That sounds like an issue with your JDK. Try installing 11 and see if that works.

Hey, I changed my version from JDK 18 to JDK 11.

the same happened but this time with one additional line: Starting a Gradle Daemon, 1 incompatible and 1 stopped Daemons could not be reused, use --status for details

(Also, I am using Temurin because I couldn't install Java properly, but it contains JDK 11. Don't know if this changes something)

As recommended here I changed my version to JDK 8 just to try.

It returned the exact same error from the first time.

Update: Tried to export it as a single apk, without plugins or .aab, it worked flawlessly. But I still need to make the .aab exportation because I plan to release it on Google Play.

Final update: I basically reinstalled everything. I reinstalled Java, Temurin, AndroidSDK, The Godot Android Template... After a few failed attempts, I was able to export to .aab format successfully!

Leaving it here in case it helps someone in the future.

Hey, there's one more error. I had to update Godot to the latest version because it needs an Android API lvl 30 that Google requires. Updated it and downloaded the Android Build Template again. In this new version, it's throwing the following error to me:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

Where: Build file 'C:\Users<...>\android\build\build.gradle' line: 24

What went wrong: A problem occurred evaluating root project 'build'.

Failed to apply plugin 'com.android.internal.application'. ANDROID_SDK_HOME is set to the root of your SDK: C:\Users<...>\cmdline-tools\bin ANDROID_SDK_HOME was meant to be the parent path of the preference folder expected by the Android tools. It is now deprecated.

 To set a custom preference folder location, use ANDROID_USER_HOME.
 
 It should NOT be set to the same directory as the root of your SDK.
 To set a custom SDK location, use ANDROID_HOME.

EDIT: Never mind, I just deleted the ANDROID_HOME and the ANDROID_SDK_HOME and restarted Godot. It worked!
