Mine was fixed after applying a change to the d8.bat file inside of the commandline tools you are working with (C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\build-tools\31.0.0 for example).

Navigate to this folder, and make sure that you have dx.bat listed there. If not, rename d8.bat to dx.bat and then try again. Should be good to go after that!

I don’t know why this works, tutorials for building android on UE4 show this as a step. From downloading older command-line tools versions, it seems that d8.bat and dx.bat used to be packaged into command-line tools. So I imagine this is an old compatibility things where they stopped shipping dx.bat, but Unreal still looks for it as it was built for an older version. This is just my hypothesis, not exactly sure why this works the way it does.
