You can create a jar file using Android Studio.
Just add these tasks in your app's build.gradle file.
//task to delete the old jar
task deleteOldJar(type: Delete) {
delete 'build/libs/AndroidPlugin.jar'
}
//task to export contents as jar
task exportJar(type: Copy) {
from('build/intermediates/bundles/release/')
into('release/')
include('classes.jar')
///Give whatever name you want to give
rename('classes.jar', 'AndroidPlugin.jar')
}
exportJar.dependsOn(deleteOldJar, build)
Once you add the above lines you can export the jar using the task of the
same name.

Unity using Android Studio
