Bug Android 12 App crashes on startup due to error with PendingIntent (Google Mobile Ads plugin used)

My unity project uses Google Ad Mob Unity Plugin v6.1.2 which is the latest version.
Target api level is 31.
The game runs fine on devices that run Android 8.0 to 11.0.
Using Unity 2020.3.25f1.

I am running an android emulator through Android Studio that uses a Pixel3a android api level 31 (Android 12) to run my unity game and this is what Logcat spits back at me upon launching the app (Take a look at line 4 & line 5):

Code (csharp):

After scouring the web I found this stackoverflow answer and tried to add this WorkManager dependency to the mainTemplate.gradle file in Unity (In Unity, set the following checkbox to true to create a custom main gradle template file called mainTemplate.gradle: ProjectSettings>PlayerSettings>PublishingSettings>Build>Custom Main Gradle Template).

However, even after adding this dependency to the projects gradle file, I still encounter the error above.
So I am thinking that somewhere through the use of the Google Mobile Ads Unity Plugin, they are creating an object of type PendingIntent and not specifing FLAG_IMMUTABLE or FLAG_MUTABLE.

The type of Ad that I am running is a rewarded ad. Here is all Google Mobile Ad related code in my unity project:

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4. using UnityEngine.Events;
5. using GoogleMobileAds.Api;
6. using System;

22.         RequestConfiguration requestConfiguration =
23.             new RequestConfiguration.Builder()
24.             .SetTagForChildDirectedTreatment(TagForChildDirectedTreatment.True)
25.             .SetMaxAdContentRating(MaxAdContentRating.G)
26.             .build();
27.         MobileAds.SetRequestConfiguration(requestConfiguration);
28.  
29.         // Initialize the Google Mobile Ads SDK
30.         MobileAds.Initialize(initStatus => { });
31.  
32.         // Load an Ad
33.         rewardedAd = RequestAndLoadRewardedAd();
34.     }
35.     // Load an rewarded Ad
36.     public RewardedAd RequestAndLoadRewardedAd()
37.     {
38.         // The following adUnitId is a test ad, in my actual game build I am using a valid adUnitId
39.         // I just changed it for the unity forum post
40.         string adUnitId = "ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/5224354917";
41.  
42.         // Create new rewarded ad instance
43.         RewardedAd rewardedAd = new RewardedAd(adUnitId);
44.  
45.         // Add Event Handlers (https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Events.UnityEvent.html)

48.         rewardedAd.OnUserEarnedReward += (sender, args) => OnUserEarnedRewardEvent.Invoke();
49.         rewardedAd.OnAdClosed += (sender, args) => OnAdClosedEvent.Invoke();
50.  
51.         // Create empty ad request
52.         rewardedAd.LoadAd(CreateAdRequest());
53.         // Return rewarded ad
54.         return rewardedAd;
55.     }
56.    
57.     // Show the rewarded Ad
58.     public void ShowRewardedAd()
59.     {
60.         if (rewardedAd != null)
61.         {

63.                 rewardedAd.Show();
64.         }
65.     }
66.  
67.     private AdRequest CreateAdRequest()
68.     {
69.         return new AdRequest.Builder()
70.             .AddExtra("max_ad_content_rating", "G")
71.             .AddExtra("is_designed_for_families", "true")
72.             .Build();
73.     }
74.  
75.     // On Closed
76.     public void OnAdClosed()
77.     {
78.         // Debug.Log("Loading new ad");
79.         // Load up a new ad
80.         rewardedAd = RequestAndLoadRewardedAd();
81.     }
82. }

I am not running any other plugins, I am not making a notification calls. So I have no idea where else a PendingIntent could be made other than through the Google Mobile Ads internal code.

 

Starting Android 12, any Pending Intents creation needs Mutability flags. Look if any updates published for those plugins to get it resolved.

 

Found the official release notes to fix this issue if anyone happens to stumble upon this thread:
https://developers.google.com/admob/android/rel-notes

Basically, in unity you need to edit the mainTemplate.gradle file to include the dependencies mentioned in the above link.

1. In Unity, set the following checkbox to true to create a custom main gradle template file called mainTemplate.gradle: ProjectSettings>PlayerSettings>PublishingSettings>Build>Custom Main Gradle Template
2. In mainTemplate.gradle go to the dependencies section and change it to this:

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. dependencies {
3.   implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:20.4.0'
4.  
5.   // For apps targeting Android 12, add WorkManager dependency.
6.   constraints {
7.    implementation('androidx.work:work-runtime:2.7.0') {
8.      because '''androidx.work:work-runtime:2.1.0 pulled from
9.     play-services-ads has a bug using PendingIntent without
10.     FLAG_IMMUTABLE or FLAG_MUTABLE and will fail in Apps
11.     targeting S+.'''
12.    }
13.   }
14. }
15.  

 

This worked for me! Thank you very much.

 

I can't get this to work, where am I supposed to paste it? I'm having issues with Google AdMob and/or Yodo1

 

Hello brother. Would you like to send me your current manifest, gradle Templete and gradle properties template if any. i actually tried this but now build is not being generated sadly

 

@Guambo1, thank you very much that worked for me.

@partimejobnaveed, below is my gradle template dependencies.

Code (CSharp):

1. dependencies {
2.     implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
3.     implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:20.4.0'
4.     constraints {
5.         implementation('androidx.work:work-runtime:2.7.0') {
6.             because '''androidx.work:work-runtime:2.1.0 pulled from
7.            play-services-ads has a bug using PendingIntent without
8.            FLAG_IMMUTABLE or FLAG_MUTABLE and will fail in Apps
9.            targeting S+.'''
10.         }
11.     }
12. // Android Resolver Dependencies End
13. **DEPS**
14. }
15.  

But please note, when I applied it, it was failing to build. Additionally I had to add below to my gradleTemplate.properties

Code (CSharp):

1. android.useAndroidX=true
2. android.enableJetifier=true

I hope this will help you.

Edit: Apparently something reverted my gradle template. I made correction on that part.

 

//Thank you so much dude. I'll definitely try this again. Thanks again

 

1- Update Firebase if you have.
2- Update Admob.
3- Delete all file "il2cpp"
A -Go to your project path /Library/il2cpp_android_arm64-v8a
B- Delete ~/Library/il2cpp_android_armeabi-v7a
C- Delete ~/Library//Il2cppBuildCache
4- Before Enable mainTemplate.gradle you must Enable "Custom Gradle properties Template" first.
5- You must know what is your admob version before copy this line

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:20.4.0'
3.     constraints {
4.         implementation('androidx.work:work-runtime:2.7.0') {
5.             because '''androidx.work:work-runtime:2.1.0 pulled from
6.           play-services-ads has a bug using PendingIntent without
7.           FLAG_IMMUTABLE or FLAG_MUTABLE and will fail in Apps
8.           targeting S+.'''
9.         }
10.     }

You Can found your admob version from "mainTemplate.gradle"
For me like that :

Code (CSharp):

1.   implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:20.6.0'
2.     constraints {
3.         implementation('androidx.work:work-runtime:2.7.0') {
4.             because '''androidx.work:work-runtime:2.1.0 pulled from
5.           play-services-ads has a bug using PendingIntent without
6.           FLAG_IMMUTABLE or FLAG_MUTABLE and will fail in Apps
7.           targeting S+.'''
8.         }
9.     }

6- for me "Api Compatibility Level" .Net 4.x "I'm not sure if will affect "
7- Be patient
8- Be patient
9- Be patient
10- Say I hate Android
11- Say thank you for @Guambo1
Thank you Guambo1

 

Thanks @Guambo1

one more thing you should use your admob ad version in first line instead of "20..6.0" because I was having this issue.

1. implementation 'com.google.android.gmslay-services-ads:20.6.0'
2. constraints {
3. implementation('androidx.work:work-runtime:2.7.0') {
4. because '''androidx.work:work-runtime:2.1.0 pulled from
5. play-services-ads has a bug using PendingIntent without
6. FLAG_IMMUTABLE or FLAG_MUTABLE and will fail in Apps
7. targeting S+.'''
8. }
9. }

 

MY FRIEND YOU ARE A GIFT FROM GOD.

 

not working for me at all. after build it says to many errors.
any other solution?

 

hi, i'm using (unity 2019.4.40f1 LTS) the solution only worked for me once and when i tried again to build with same (project settings) and (mainTemplate.gradle) and Enabled (Custom Gradle properties Template). it gave 5 errors.
first 3 errors :

@mahmoud93p I went your step by steps and it worked. thanks

 

Same errors, in my case updating Firebase and Admob to latest plugin version solve the problem.

 

After i do those steps i get "AdMob policy violation, type is "Modified ad behavior", that it's happened for me after few months.

And i fixed by update admob sdk and i don't make any change.
** don't make any change in "Custom Gradle properties Template"

 

Heads up, I fixed this by upgrading play-services-ads. As stated in one of the posts above, an earlier version has this problem.

 

Hey yall just stopping by after having not signed into unity forums in close to a YEAR! Im glad I was able to help everyone with this - took a lot of digging to figure this issue out when I was making an update to my google play game Goo Runner last December. Im glad the most up to date official admob unity sdk patched this issue!

 

My mainTemplate.gradle (dependencies):

Code (CSharp):

1. dependencies {
2.     implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
3. // Android Resolver Dependencies Start
4.     implementation 'androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-common-java8:2.4.1' // Assets/GoogleMobileAds/Editor/GoogleMobileAdsDependencies.xml:12
5.     implementation 'androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-process:2.4.1' // Assets/GoogleMobileAds/Editor/GoogleMobileAdsDependencies.xml:17
6.     implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:21.3.0' // Assets/GoogleMobileAds/Editor/GoogleMobileAdsDependencies.xml:7
7.     implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:18.1.0' // Assets/Firebase/Editor/AppDependencies.xml:17
8.     implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-analytics:21.2.0' // Assets/Firebase/Editor/AppDependencies.xml:15
9.     implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-analytics-unity:10.3.0' // Assets/Firebase/Editor/AnalyticsDependencies.xml:18
10.     implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-app-unity:10.3.0' // Assets/Firebase/Editor/AppDependencies.xml:22
11.     implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-common:20.2.0' // Assets/Firebase/Editor/AppDependencies.xml:13
12. // Android Resolver Dependencies End
13. **DEPS**}

Is this the correct version of my code modification?

Code (CSharp):

1. dependencies {
2.     implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
3. // Android Resolver Dependencies Start
4.     implementation 'androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-common-java8:2.4.1' // Assets/GoogleMobileAds/Editor/GoogleMobileAdsDependencies.xml:12
5.     implementation 'androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-process:2.4.1' // Assets/GoogleMobileAds/Editor/GoogleMobileAdsDependencies.xml:17
6.     implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:21.3.0' // Assets/GoogleMobileAds/Editor/GoogleMobileAdsDependencies.xml:7
7.  
8.     // For apps targeting Android 12, add WorkManager dependency.
9.     constraints {
10.         implementation('androidx.work:work-runtime:2.7.0') {
11.             because '''androidx.work:work-runtime:2.1.0 pulled from
12.            play-services-ads has a bug using PendingIntent without
13.            FLAG_IMMUTABLE or FLAG_MUTABLE and will fail in Apps
14.            targeting S+.'''
15.         }
16.     }
17.  
18.     implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:18.1.0' // Assets/Firebase/Editor/AppDependencies.xml:17
19.     implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-analytics:21.2.0' // Assets/Firebase/Editor/AppDependencies.xml:15
20.     implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-analytics-unity:10.3.0' // Assets/Firebase/Editor/AnalyticsDependencies.xml:18
21.     implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-app-unity:10.3.0' // Assets/Firebase/Editor/AppDependencies.xml:22
22.     implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-common:20.2.0' // Assets/Firebase/Editor/AppDependencies.xml:13
23. // Android Resolver Dependencies End
24. **DEPS**}

Help! I am tormented with this problem.
I tried it in different ways, maybe the fact is that my version
of play-services-ads:21.3.0 and not 20.4.0 like yours?

my unity 2021.3.16f1 my error when running on Android, it only occurs when API >30
But google play only allows downloading from API >30 I can't update the app in GooglePlay:

Code (CSharp):

1. 2022/12/30 18:21:17.308 25761 25761 Warn UnityMain type=1400 audit(0.0:3400041): avc: denied { search } for name="mqsas" dev="dm-15" ino=566 scontext=u:r:untrusted_app:s0:c113,c257,c512,c768 tcontext=u:object_r:mqsas_data_file:s0 tclass=dir permissive=0 app=com.polygon.BattleSimulator

IT'S DECIDED. The error disappeared when updating unity from 2021.3.16a1 to 2022.2.1a1 everything is perfect!

 

I have the same problem but can't find any solution. none of them work for me. unity 2022.3.10f , 2022.3.8f, 2020.3.21f. I deleted all plugins, ExternalDependencyManager, GoogleMobileAds, GooglePlayPlugins folders then updated them but it is keep crashing. then I unchecked "Auto Graphics API" in the Player settings. it is working. thanks to james580.

but keep crashing on Android 13 (SDK 33), Android 12 (SDK 31), Android 14 Beta (SDK 34).
