Hey everyone!
After porting the project from UE 5.5 to UE 5.6.1, when building the Android version, the build fails at the very end during the APK packaging step with the following error:

UATHelper: Packaging (Android (ASTC)): Z:\app\src\main\java\com\epicgames\unreal\workmanager\UEWorker.java:17: error: package com.google.common.util.concurrent does not exist
UATHelper: Packaging (Android (ASTC)): import com.google.common.util.concurrent.ListenableFuture;

What has been done so far:

  1. Selected the correct version of Android Studio - Koala Feature Drop | 2024.1.2
  2. SDK is taken directly from Android Studio
  3. NDK version: 27.3.13750724
  4. NDK API Level: android-27
  5. Installed the latest NVidia GPU drivers
  6. Target SDK: 36

On one build machine with the same parameters, the build succeeds, but on another one it fails with this error.
