Does it happen with all projects? Did it previously work?

This has happened before and for all projects!
It has never worked!
I redid the installation several times without success.
Now I have the latest SDK and JDK versions.

1. Please post a screenshot of Tools - Paths Configuration dialog.
2. Which version of Windows?
3. Where is the project saved?

You are using B4A 11.80 but you haven't got the latest SDK which is android-30. Download a fresh one and try that

I re-compiled with Android-19 and I no longer have the d8_argument error but I have three new errors which are:
error: resource android:style/Theme.Material.Light not found.
error: resource android:style/TextAppearance.Material.Widget.ActionBar.Menu not found.
error: failed linking references.

What does this mean? Android-30 is in the recommended SDk download.

Download all files from https://www.b4x.com/b4a.html, and install them. Note don't get JDK and SDK from thirdparty

That's irrelevant. You said you recompiled with Android-19. What does that mean?

I took 19 because I thought I had to compile with the API corresponding to the smartphone.
With the latest SDK (25.2.5) the maximum API is 29, how can I get API 30.

Did you made the New Android SDK folder using the parts supplied in the B4A Installation Instructions?
Specifically these
Android SDK
Resources
Be sure to unzip both in the same folder using something like 7Zip.
Avoid Windows embedded feature.
