Issue with Fabric Unity setup. Cannot get past 1st step - windows

I've been trying to setup Fabric on my unity project for analytics and fastlane, but it will not get past Step 1 of the setup.
I have Unity 5.6.3f1 and the plugin installation got through without a hitch on Unity, but it's like the dashboard will not recognize the installation.
I also installed (and reinstalled multiple times) Android Studio with the Android SDK and still nothing.
As per the instructions from Unity, I Built my prototype and ran it on my phone and it worked OK, but still no progress on the Setup.
The Android SDK and JDK point to the correct file path on Unity's preferences as well.
I wanted to try to reinstall the Fabric plugin, but the uninstall instructions on the site's knowledge base is only applicable for Macs and I use a PC. I don't have an option to "quit fabric" nor does it appear in my Android SDK plugin list.
I'm not too sure what to do next.
If I'm missing any info, please let me know.
Thanks!

Loading SDK component information failed in Android SDK Manager, Android SDK Instance could not be loaded in Android Device Manager

for this project I am using VS 2017. I want to note that everything in Android SDK Manager and in Android Device Manager has always been working fine for me, but today my laptop's account password was expiring, so I changed it, and right after that I started having a lot of issues with VS (I thought maybe this was important to note).
So, when opening Android SDK Manager, I am suddenly seeing this:
And the solution to navigate to the gear icon and change the Repository to "Google" doesn't help me, in fact, it was already set to Google (I tried setting it to Microsoft, closing the manager, and then resetting to Google, didn't work).
Retrying doesn't help.
Does anyone know what to do? I am really stuck at this point, I tried restarting my PC and restarting VS, and in regards to my problem I also tried signing out and signing back in VS just in case, but it also didn't work. Any help much appreciated
Edit:
I also tried actually setting the SDK Location in SDK Manager, but that didn't work:
Switching the source to the approved list helped for me.
Leaving out the latest versions, but at least works...

Android SDK location in OSX - Has it been actually installed by Unity Hub?

We are using Unity 2018.3.8f1.
We have added Android Build Support from Unity Hub - Add Component:
But if we go to Unity Preferences - External Tools, the Android SDK location is empty:
I have not been able to find the location of the Android SDK folder anywhere. I'm wondering if the component installed by Unity Hub is something different to Android SDK. Maybe it must be installed separately from: https://developer.android.com/studio?pkg=tools#downloads?
UPDATE
So far I have installed "Command line tools only" from the previous link. Then, I have installed OpenSDK (Vistual Studio did it for me: it asked me to update and install it as one of the things to update).
But when I opened tools/bin/sdkmanager, it said "Java is not installed". So I also installed Oracle Java SDK. Unfortunately tools/bin/sdkmanager returned errors after it. I applied a few workarounds I found by googling the errors. Still not luck.
So I have moved to the easy way: installing the full version of Android Studio. If we choose custom, we'll see that Android SDK Platform is going to be installed:
So it is working, but I still have not idea of how many things I have duplicated on my system wasting space. I have:
The Android component installed from Unity Hub
Android Studio installed, which comes with the emulator and the IDE (I don't need them)
OpenSDK (installed by Visual Studio)
An embedded version of Java in Unity
Oracle Java
Are they all actually needed? I don't think so!
It seems the only thing you are wondering is if the component installed by Unity hub is something different to Android SDK... the short answer is yes. You have to download it on the Android Developer SDK website you linked in the question. You only need the SDK under "Command line tools only" at the bottom of the page. If you do this you also need to download the jdk separatly here.

Appcelerator | 'Android Distribution' Android SDK version 4.1.2 not found

I have pulled an Appcelerator project from our developer group and unable to publish or run the project on a local Android device.
When trying to publish the below error screen immediately pops up.
Android SDK version 4.1.2 not found.
I have checked both in the Appcelerator platform settings and Android Studio config and have the SDK installed.The install SDK screen in Appcelerator Tried uninstalling/reinstalling Appcli and the SDK to no avail.
After a few days of searching all the appecelerator files in my project. I finally found the fix for my problem (for anyone googling this).
There's a hidden file in the root of the Appcli project called .settings
Inside of settings there's a package called com.appcelerator.titanium.android.core.prefs
There is an android/sdk_version=4.1.2 that was causing all my issues. Hope that helps someone.
Most likely, your issue seems to be with unsupported Android SDK version as per Ti SDK you are using.
So before doing anything, try to grab what this page says to know all about software compatibilities: Titanium Comptability Matrix
It says that minimum Android version as of latest Ti SDK 6.x.x is API 16.
Now, follow these steps carefully to get a fresh start on your system.
First of all, download Android latest SDK from here: Android SDK
Unzip it & put it in at some simple path like in /Users/username/android-sdk
Download Appcelerator Studio (AS) & install it. It will download all pre-requisites like Java, Python
Open Appcelerator Studio & go to Preferences->Studio->Platforms->Android. Select the path of android sdk you unzipped in step 2.
After all these steps, you can open Android SDK Manager (see screenshot where it is) & install necessary SDK, Tools, etc.
Note: I do not suggest to download SDKs via AS as I have faced path issues in beginning.
Even if these steps do not help you, then provide us the log output after running this command on terminal: appc info
If terminal says this command is not found, then you need to go through the AS installation properly.
I had the same issue. Simply deleting all " Android Play Store Distribution" configurations solved my problem.

Attempting to add an MQTT library from NuGet into Xamarin project

I saw that Xamarin was now free and decided to try writing a mobile app using it instead of what another technology I was playing with. After some various hiccups, I was able to get the new Xamarin Android project to build, deploy and run on the simulator. I then decided to try out MQTT connectivity from it before I went any further. No matter which MQTT library I to install from NuGet, for example the System.Net.Mqtt one from Xamarin, I get the following error:
"Could not install package 'System.Net.Mqtt 0.3.12-pre'. You are trying to install this package into a project that targets 'MonoAndroid,Version=v6.0', but the package does not contain any assembly references or content files that are compatible with that framework. For more information, contact the package author."
I tried several others with no success. It does the same for the ios and Android projects. I did try changing the Android SDK version to use for compiling, but still had the same result. I also don't understand why it says MonoAndroid since I thought all the Mono references were changed to Xamarin? I'm using Visual Studio 15 with Update 2. I tried the stable Xamarin version and also tried the latest alpha. I'm not sure what else to try, I'd really to give Xamarin a try for this project. I did some searching and couldn't find anything that appeared to help with this issue.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Use the Package Manager Console. Then, either:
Install the latest version of MQTT library.
Or install first its dependency, RX-Main and then MQTT.
If you still get an error, please share with us the Log that is shown in the PM Console.

Monogame and MonoDevelop missing IDE MacOSX

I tried installing monogame and monodevelop but after downloading and installing the required applications there is no Monogame IDE in my application folder.
What i did was the following:
Started on the monogame download page (http://www.monogame.net/downloads) and followed the corresponding links to download these files for OSX:
Xamarin Studio 4.0.12 installer
Mono + GTK# to which it linked me to the mono download page to which i download
The Runtime and SDK files for OSX Version 2.10.x
I installed each program in the corresponding order and continues the installation process by downloading the MonoGame installation V3.0.1 for Xamarin and MonoDevelop because i wasnt sure which one to get. But when I couldn't simply drag or click to install I looked in my application folder there was no Monogame IDE only the Xamarin Studio IDE which I presume is the correct process. But When I opened the Xamarin IDE it says that I've download the starter version and I cannot use Monogame.
Aside from the monogame website and various googling instructions, I've tried following these very clear instruction from this blog (http://mastrgamr.net/xna/programming-xna-on-mac/) but got stuck when I could find nor open my MonoGame and the Xamarian IDE displaying the correct screen.
I do not understand what I am doing wrong as the installation instructions seem very clear.
EDIT:
So i found out that Xamarian IDE replaced the MonoDeveloper IDE though the instructions I've found are using MonoDeveloper IDE as the example. I'm not sure if theres a significant difference but I presume there is a difference as I still can't seem to run monoGame and the outdated instructions aren't syncretic with my actions. Can anyone provide me with updated Xamarian instructions?
A little while ago Xamarin replaced MonoDevelop with Xamarin Studio. So MonoDevelop is now called Xamarin Studio and it looks and behaves a little different. That's why any tutorials talking about MonoDevelop are going to be a little confusing.
I've never tried to install Xamarin Studio on a Mac so I'm not sure what the error is about the starter version. However, I suspect it might be talking about the Xamarin licensing.
What I can tell you is, you won't be able to develop games with MonoGame on the starter edition if you are targeting platforms other than Windows (this includes Android, iOS and I presume Mac) due to the limited app size. You should consider buying a license from Xamarin if this is indeed your issue.
