Anybody knows what to do?

deleting the android folder in {project}\intermediate and relaunching fixed this issue for me

Android Studio → Configure → SDK Manager → Android SDK → SDK Tools
→ Check Show Package Details
→ Uncheck Android SDK Build-Tools other than SetupAndroid.bat specified :

for example UE 4.25 uncheck except “build-tools;28.0.3”

in “UnrealEngine-4.25\Engine\Extras\Android\SetupAndroid.bat” file

line 75
call “%SDKMANAGER%” “platform-tools” “platforms;android-28” “build-tools;28.0.3” “cmake;3.10.2.4988404” “ndk;21.1.6352462”
