Android builds fail with Java 9 JDK and Unable to list target platforms error
With the latest public versions of Unity (2017.1.1f1), Android Studio/SDK tools(26.0.2), and JDK (Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 9+181, mixed mode), Android builds failed early on with:
Error:Invalid command android
CommandInvokationFailure: Unable to list target platforms. Please make sure the android sdk path is correct.
See the Console for more details. Error building Player: CommandInvokationFailure: Unable to list
target platforms. Please make sure the android sdk path is correct. See the Console for more details.
A similar problem (same error message, but different cause) has been reported about 6 months ago: https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/issues/android-build-fails-when-the-latest-android-sdk-tools-25-dot-3-1-version-is-used
In my case, downgrading to JDK 8 fixed the problem.
Reproduced with:
2017.3.0b4, 2017.2.0f3, 2017.1.2f1, 5.6.3p4, 5.5.5f1

This has been going on since Android was a thing, with hacky ways of getting it to work. I don't think it's ever going to get fixed lol.

If you are using JDK 9 and trying to build for Android in Unity - you're most likely to have your build failed, with message like "Unable to list target platforms" - "Error:Invalid command android".
We are working together with Google on fixing this issue - it requires fixes on Unity side, but also Android SDK tools need to be updated to be compatible with latest Java.
In the meanwhile, we recommend using Java 8 (JDK 8). You can have both Java installations side-by-side, just need to configure Unity Preferences => External Tools => JDK to point to your JDK 8 installation.
We apologize for the inconvenience caused!

Linking with one more such occurrence on JDK 9.0.1 - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46978301/unity-failed-to-build-apk-android

Seconding this - even having JDK 9 installed on the system causes the build to fail with this error, regardless of what JAVA_HOME or the Unity JDK setting is.
Removing JDK9 entirely from /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines corrects the issue.
(Unity 5.6.4p1/macOS 10.13)

Experiencing same problem. Build fails with JDK 9.
Setting JAVA_HOME to JDK 1.8 fixed the problem.

Unfortunately there are compatibility issues between JDK9 and JDK10 and Android SDK.
The bugs have been reported to Google, we are working on a full-featured fix.
As a workaround, for now please UNINSTALL JDK9/10 and INSTALL only JDK8 (64-bit).
We apologize for the inconvenience caused.
