Android Build fails when the latest Android SDK Tools 25.3.1 version is used

Android

-

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

    Hello,

    We have a legacy project going on and its in 5.2.5f and we can not update unity version. Android build is not working on oreo 8 and a blank black screen shown at the launch. When debugging it shows some permission issues.
    "04-04 16:02:06.858 25011 25011 E Unity : Unable to query for permission: Fragment null must be a public static class to be properly recreated from instance state.
    04-04 16:02:07.128 773 931 I ActivityManager: Displayed com.learndirectenglish.lde/com.unity3d.player.UnityPlayerNativeActivity: +4s283ms
    "
    I got to know that this is a common problem but unity is not giving support for older versions. Please release a support for unity 5.2.5f as we are paying you for unity plus. You can not withdraw support like that. Please release a patch for unity 5.2.5.

    WORKED FOR ME. Windows 10 64bit, Unity 2017.3.1f1, build-tools 25.0.3, jdk1.8.0_161 (Java SE Development Kit 8 Update 161). I also unistalled all the next versions of build-tools and jdk (in my case these were build-tools 26.0.2, 27.0.3, 28.0.0-rc1 and Java SE Development kit 9).

    In case any one still has this problem, try uninstalling Java 9 from you machine and re-installing java 8.

    Based on what happened to me, this error "CommandInvokationFailure: Unable to list target platforms. Please make sure the android sdk path is correct. See the Console for more details." is as a result of trying to run a .bat file that you can attempt to run outside of unity, so if you can't run it neither can unity.
