Cannot build to Android: CommandInvokationFailure: Android Asset Packaging Tool failed.

Hello,

I've noticed a few other forum/answers threads with similar errors but none of those resolutions have worked for me. For some reason, Unity is failing every time I try to build while packaging StreamingAssets. There's no other content in StreamingAssets except the videos listed in the error message, other projects build fine to Android, and this project works fine built to PC and running in Editor Preview. I've tried reinstalling the SDK and JDK and downgrading to SDK24 and that didn't work. I've made sure there's no read-only permissions set on the folder or anything. I've deleted all extraneous/unused assets from the project, and I also tried creating a new project and importing only the scene and assets I need, that build also fails. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

What is the size of video5.mp4 ?

 

I was positive the videos couldn't be oversized since they're all low resolution and I thought our editor had trimmed them down, but it turns out one was 52 minutes long and 3.90 GB! I'll give that a try.

Edit: In case others have this issue and locate this forum post, I can confirm the issue was oversized assets.

 

I know this post is pretty old but it seems I may be having the same problem. All the files on this list are between 2 MB - 2.91MB. But it seems that none of the files are compressing. Are the files just too large?

probably also due to large file size.. what is the size of your apk?

 

update your android SDK tools. update version 26.1.1
