Android build fails after upgrading Applovin Max SDKs

[sarebots]

I just upgraded my AppLovin Max SDK and the android builds are now failing. I'm using Unity 2019.4.38f1 and AppLovin Max version 5.4.0. I also upgraded the following Mediated networks:

Facebook, Fyber, Admob, IronSource, Mintegral, Unity Ads.

I'm not sure which specific update caused the build process to fail, but the following is the error I get:

UPDATE: I tried building after removing all Mediation Network SDKs but it still doesn't work. So I guess the problem lies with AppLovin SDK itself. Also, note that I'm using the following custom base gradle template:

`// GENERATED BY UNITY. REMOVE THIS COMMENT TO PREVENT OVERWRITING WHEN EXPORTING AGAIN

allprojects { buildscript { repositories {ARTIFACTORYREPOSITORY google() jcenter() }

    dependencies {
        // If you are changing the Android Gradle Plugin version, make sure it is compatible with the Gradle version preinstalled with Unity
        // See which Gradle version is preinstalled with Unity here https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/android-gradle-overview.html
        // See official Gradle and Android Gradle Plugin compatibility table here https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/gradle-plugin#updating-gradle
        // To specify a custom Gradle version in Unity, go do "Preferences > External Tools", uncheck "Gradle Installed with Unity (recommended)" and specify a path to a custom Gradle version
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.4.3'
        **BUILD_SCRIPT_DEPS**
    }
}

repositories {**ARTIFACTORYREPOSITORY**
    google()
    jcenter()
    flatDir {
        dirs "${project(':unityLibrary').projectDir}/libs"
    }
}

}

UPDATE 2: Downgrading AppLovin to v5.3.1 fixed the issue.

[MounirAbb]

downgrading didnt solve it for me

[MounirAbb]

it is the facebook plugin . remove facebook adapter and things work damn .

[4handsgames]

Is the v5.3.1 still available somewhere to download?

[sarebots]

Is the v5.3.1 still available somewhere to download?

I just edited the download url from official AppLovin Max Unity SDK download page: v5.3.1

[tuhai993]

I just met same issue, in my case i fixed it by download Build tool 31 and restart Unity

[4handsgames]

Is the v5.3.1 still available somewhere to download?

I just edited the download url from official AppLovin Max Unity SDK download page: v5.3.1

Thanks for providing the 5.3.1 link. After switching to the previous version Android builds work again.

[Lorenzo45]

Thanks for reporting this issue. We've just released Unity Plugin version 5.4.2 that is backwards compatible with Android SDK versions earlier than 31. Let us know you're still experiencing build issues.

[LDHrez]

I tried integrate v5.4.2 and I can't build the apk but downgraded to v5.3.1 all works

[Lorenzo45]

Could you share the error you're seeing? You might need to update your Gradle version.

[4handsgames]

5.3.1 works. When upgrading to 5.4.2 the following error occurs:

Configure project :launcher WARNING: The option setting 'android.enableR8=false' is deprecated. It will be removed in version 5.0 of the Android Gradle plugin. You will no longer be able to disable R8
