Android Build fails when the latest Android SDK Tools 25.3.1 version is used
How to reproduce:
1. Update Android SDK Tools to 25.3.1
- In Mac open Android Studio -> Check for updates and update Android Studio version (might be not necessary)
- In Android Studio -> Preferences -> Appearance & Behavior -> System Settings -> Android SDK -> SDK Tools
2. Create a new Unity project
3. Build and run on Android device
Result: Build fails "CommandInvokationFailure: Unable to list target platforms. Please make sure the android sdk path is correct. See the Console for more details. ..."
Reproducible: 5.5.2p2, 5.6.0b11, 2017.1.0a3
Note: I haven't been able to reproduce this issue on Windows machine. As after update via Android Studio, SDK Manager still doesn't see SDK Tools 25.3.1 version and uses 25.2.5
Workaround for the customers.
1) just open https://developer.android.com/studio/index.html
2) scroll down to the bottom of that page
3) go to downloads
4) scroll down to the bottom of that page
5) find Windows "tools_r25.2.3-windows.zip" download and unzip it
5) find MacOSX "tools_r25.2.3-macosx.zip" download and unzip it.
6) In the SDK path replace the tools folder.
FIXED:
Unity versions: 5.4.5p2, 5.5.3p3, 5.6.0p3, 2017.1.0b3
SDK Tools have to be updated to 26.x.x

I'm new to android development and I can't seem to build an apk.
I've followed multiple tutorials and it still won't work.
From what I have read here you need to use different versions of 'SDK' and 'JDK'
Could someone link me to the exact versions I need to download.

This is what worked for me....
1.) Install JDK jdk1.8.0_131 and set it as the JDK Path in Unity
2.) Delete android sdk "tools" folder : [Your Android SDK root]/tools -> tools
Download SDK Tools: http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/tools_r25.2.5-windows.zip
Extract the tools folder in that archive to Android SDK root
Build your project

This is still a problem and I can not find a copy of the needed file for the work around. Very frustrating!

I'm using
Unity 2017.2.0f3
Android SDK Tools 26.1.1
and this still exists. I work on Android Studio to build native apps as well, so downgrading is so annoying

After I download the tools_r25.2.5-windows.zip, I can build to APK again, but I can't install it, certification error, so I also downgraded my JDK to 1.8.0 or Java SE Development Kit 8u151 in Java download page, now I can build my APK and also install it

After dorking around for way too long, for me the fix was....
Android SDK Platform 26
Android SDK Tool 26.0.2
Java 1.8.0
I read in other places that there were issues with the earlier versions of SDK Tool 26 and that java 1.9 didn't work either.
If you have Android Studio, it is just a matter of going into the tools>Android>SDK Manager to upgrade the Android SDK Platform and Tool. No downloading and placing files anywhere.
Make sure that after you upgrade to double check Edit>Preferences>External Tools to make sure it is pointed to the right location.

I just lost about 4hours to this as well on version 2017.3.0b5 "Unable to list target platforms."
with the latest version of the sdk. The link is no longer listed for the old version but I managed to find it in some of the other unity posts on this issue.

I read all comments here and lost whole day and still can not create Android APK.
Use Unity 2017.2.03f, Windows 10,
Unity > Edit > Preferences is pointing correct folder for SDK and JDK.
JDK latest version 1.9.1
For Android SDK I have already downgrade tools to 25.2.5 version - but I see can not make it by hand because we can see below, some command lines want call still latest version and it create error!
CommandInvokationFailure: Failed to re-package resources.
C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\build-tools\26.0.2\aapt.exe package --auto-add-overlay -v -f -m -J "gen" -M "AndroidManifest.xml" -S "res" -I "C:/Users/xxxx/AppData/Local/Android/sdk\platforms\android-21\android.jar" -F bin/resources.ap_
I need clean instruction how setup all parts of software for build Android APK file.
Before I used Unity 5xx and never had this troubles.
