[Bug] DirectoryNotFoundException: Unable to copy 'mainTemplate.gradle' from Unity engine folder

[Str4tos]

[REQUIRED] Please fill in the following fields:

• Unity editor version: 2021.3.35
• External Dependency Manager version: 1.2.179
• Source you installed EDM4U: .unitypackage (.unitypackage or Unity Package Manager)
• Features in External Dependency Manager in use: Android Resolver (Android Resolver, iOS Resolver, VersionHandler, etc.)
• Plugins SDK in use: Any (Firebase, Admob, Facebook, etc.)
• Platform you are using the Unity editor on: Mac (Mac, Windows, or Linux)

[REQUIRED] Please describe the issue here:

The New Unity projects have no Assets/Plugins/Android directory by default so copy the mainTemplate.gradle file fails with DirectoryNotFoundException.
Certainly, manually creating this path in the project resolves everything.
My goal is to highlight this minor flaw in the automatic creation of directory tree for file copying.

Please answer the following, if applicable:

What's the issue repro rate?
100% for new unity projects.

What happened? How can we make the problem occur?

1. Create new Unity project.
2. Import EDM4U .unitypackage
3. Add some Dependencies.xml
4. Resolve dependencies.
5. Get error in console.

I would also like to see it fixed

[Thaina]

Is this the same as #697 ?

[argzdev]

I wouldn't say it's the same as #697. The linked issue only affects version Unity 6.

Hey folks, this is now resolved in version 1.2.183. I've tested this out and it seems to work correctly. That said, I'll go ahead and close this thread. Thanks!
