Question App for Kids, how to totally disable HW stats and Analytics?

I'm working on a Kid's app, and I need to disable any external web calls.

I just want to use IAP on Unity 2021.3 LTS, and I get lost on many threads and changes on the analytics system with game-service.

Please can Anyone help me to understand how to totally disable external calls? I also see I need to disable "hw statistics" in player settings, but I don't see it.

Somewhere I get this code, but not sure is still valid:

Code (CSharp):

1.     [RuntimeInitializeOnLoadMethod(RuntimeInitializeLoadType.BeforeSceneLoad)]
2.     public static void OnRunTimeMethodLoad()
3.     {
4.         Analytics.enabled = false;
5.         Analytics.deviceStatsEnabled = false;
6.         Analytics.limitUserTracking = true;
7.         try
8.         {
9.             PerformanceReporting.enabled = false;
10.         }
11.         catch (System.MissingMethodException)
12.         {
13.  
14.         }
15.     }

 

Hi,

I'm using Unity 2021.3 LTS with IAP 4.4.1.

I just enabled the IAP, and "legacy Analytics" showed up. I just do it yesterday, so I don't understand what you mean that is not available. Maybe I was in an older IAP version, and I updated after?

Reading the infographics appear that Analytics can be untied from IAP.

So, can I just disable it?

Thanks

 

Hi,

I finally test with charles proxy and I note one only call to config.uca.cloud.unity3d.com

What is that? Can I disable it?



Thanks,
Moreno

 

Yes, I have the legacy analytics, but I don't know how to remove it.

 

Hi Jeff,

As you can see in the package manager, no "Analytics Library" appears.

As I wrote in the first place of this post, I disabled Analytics with the code you linked.

But at the start of the application, a single call to "config.uca.cloud.unity3d.com" was made.

How I can disable that? What is that call? I don't know what to say to my client or the Apple approval team.

Please give me some help.

Thanks

 

I try to disable via code both Legacy that UGS with this code, but I still have this call:




This is the code I use. And I'm sure that it is called because I see the debug log:

Code (CSharp):

1.     [RuntimeInitializeOnLoadMethod(RuntimeInitializeLoadType.BeforeSceneLoad)]
2.     public static void OnRunTimeMethodLoad()
3.     {
4.         Debug.Log("Disable all analytics");
5.         AnalyticsService.Instance.SetAnalyticsEnabled(false);
6.         Analytics.enabled = false;
7.         Analytics.deviceStatsEnabled = false;
8.         Analytics.limitUserTracking = true;
9.         try
10.         {
11.             PerformanceReporting.enabled = false;
12.         }
13.         catch (System.MissingMethodException)
14.         {
15.  
16.         }
17.     }

Any Idea another idea? This is very frustrating, I very near to the release, please help me

 

This is a detail of the call:

I have no chance of passing apple certification with that. Do you think to remove IAP, upgrading unity and re-install IAP can have some benefits?

 

I try to update my project to 2021.3.10f. I remove IAP and remove from package.manifest all reference to analytics.

No package showed up on package manager about Analytics or IAP. I start the app and now I receive two type of call




I cannot include any code to disable because no libraries are included. So by default Unity is sending session information.

And "from many times we do so" is not an answer, privacy is not the same as in the past years. An in any case, in the past we got a wrong review on Steam for that. Now I'm risking having throble passing the "design for children" process.

There is no personal information, but in the call, there is UserId, DeviceId, AppId, and SessionId. This is tracking, and I don't want that.

I'm trying right now to put again the IAP hoping to link to UGS and not the older one. And I hope I can remove it.

 

Upgrading Unity has no effect.

I continue to view "Legacy Analytics," and I cannot unlink. I also prove to change the project id without any effect.




And a call before the disabling code was made.




Please help me out

 

I just start from a new project, and I got the same results, BUT editing UnityAnalyticsSettings works!

I want to thank you for your support. I know that is incredibly hard to follow that huge combination of versions and configurations. And sorry to be so pressing, I was very worried about that.
