Build Fail: Can't build Android .apk on Unity

Question

Whenever I try to build & run my Unity application for android I receive the following error:

Build Failure: Unable to list target platforms. please make sure the 
android sdk path is correct. See the Console for details.

The thing is that the path is set correctly and I am also able to build Apps with Android Studio. In Unity I set the path correctly to

'/Users/MYUSERNAME/Library/Android/sdk'

Unity even opens a prompt and tells me that a Android SDK has been found when I click on Browse in Preferences -> External Tools.

In the Unity-Log I also receive the following Error Message:

CommandInvokationFailure: Unable to list target platforms. Please make sure the android sdk path is correct. 
/Users/MYUSERNAME/Library/Android/sdk/tools/bin/avdmanager list target -c

Does your SDK-tools version match your target version ? – Greg Jun 22 '18 at 15:36 — Greg, Jun 22 '18 at 15:36

You need v25.5.5 of the Android SDK.

If you haven't downgraded it, here are the steps:

1- Delete Android SDK "tools" folder : [Your Android SDK root]/tools -> tools.

2- Download SDK Tools: http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/tools_r25.2.5-windows.zip.

3- Extract that to the Android SDK root.

If you have done it already, then let me know.

I already tried that, but unfortunately it couldn't help me. Meanwhile I solved the problem by downgrading my jdk to 1.8 – J. Hegg Jun 23 '18 at 12:30

I solved the problem by myself. I don't know why it was the problem, but after I downgraded my JDK to 1.8 I was able to build the .apk.
