Build was configured to prefer settings repositories over project repositories but repository 'MavenRepo' was added by build file 'build.gradle'

Question

I know this question has asked before, but I want to ask it with respect to Unity.So I am trying to make my game target API level 33 as per the new googlePlay store policy. But I got many errors and finally stuck with the following error ad can't proceed further

Starting a Gradle Daemon, 1 incompatible Daemon could not be reused, use --status for details

Configure project : Build was configured to prefer settings repositories over project repositories but repository 'MavenRepo' was added by build file 'build.gradle'

I did many things before reaching this point which I will explain below.

First I updated my project from Unity 2021.2.5f1 to Unity 2022.3.9f1 and set the target API level to 33 and built it. I got some errors saying deprecated gradle was used which was incompatible with gradle 8.0 .

2)I then in the gradleTemplate.properties file added the following line

org.gradle.warning.mode=all

and then I set the stacktrace to full and I got the following error

3)Then I saw some video on youtube and did the following changes:

In baseProjectTemplate.gradle file replaced jcenter() with mavencentral() In the same file above removed google() from repositories section and flatDir { dirs "${project(':unityLibrary').projectDir}/libs" }

4)From settingsTemplate.gradle

removed flatDir { dirs "${project(':unityLibrary').projectDir}/libs" }

I tried to delete the library and reopened Unity and tried everthing including this answer, but nothing is happening . I am stuck in this issue for 3 days and really fed up with everything .Anyone can help me please.......

Answer 1

I have found a solution finally after a lot of searching for days. The solution was to delete all plugins files in the folder : "C:...ProjectName\Assets\Plugins\Android", then build succeeded. Thanks to the guy who commented on this video . Hope this helps someone struggling out there
