Question ConsentCheckException: Make sure GeoIP was...

Hi! I implemented UGS Analytics a month ago. But today I had a chance to try it, sending custom events. I set it up as in the documentation and it looks like I sent newPlayer event 2 times today. But on startup I get this error in the editor;
ConsentCheckException: The required consent flow cannot be determined. Make sure GeoIP was successfully called.
Is there something wrong with my code?

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using Unity.Services.Core;
3. using Unity.Services.Analytics;
4. using System.Collections.Generic;
5.  
6. public class AnalyticsSetup : MonoBehaviour
7. {
8.     string consentIdentifier;
9.     bool isOptInConsentRequired;
10.  
11.     // Start is called before the first frame update
12.     async void Start()
13.     {
14.         try
15.         {
16.             await UnityServices.InitializeAsync();
17.             List<string> consentIdentifiers = await AnalyticsService.Instance.CheckForRequiredConsents();
18.             if (consentIdentifiers.Count > 0)
19.             {
20.                 consentIdentifier = consentIdentifiers[0];
21.                 isOptInConsentRequired = consentIdentifier == "pipl";
22.             }
23.             if (isOptInConsentRequired)
24.             {
25.                 AnalyticsService.Instance.ProvideOptInConsent(consentIdentifier, false);
26.             }
27.         }
28.         catch (ConsentCheckException e)
29.         {
30.             Debug.Log(e.Reason.ToString());
31.             // Something went wrong when checking the GeoIP, check the e.Reason and handle appropriately
32.         }
33.     }
34. }

And this is how I sent custom event. This code runs after the initialize;

Code (CSharp):

1. Dictionary<string, object> parameters = new Dictionary<string, object>()
2.         {
3.             { "Level", currenLevel }
4.         };
5.         AnalyticsService.Instance.CustomData("levelStarted", parameters);
6.         AnalyticsService.Instance.Flush();

 

Although I still get this error, I can see the custom events in the data explorer. For now, 33 levelStarted events have been submitted.

 

Analytics version: 4.0.1
Unity Version: 2019.4.40f1

 

Okay I updated to 4.2.0 but still get this error. I closed and reopened Unity but still the same.
Error is exactly like this;

Code (CSharp):

1. ConsentCheckException: The required consent flow cannot be determined. Make sure GeoIP was successfully called.
2. Unity.Services.Analytics.Internal.ConsentTracker.ValidateConsentWasChecked () (at Library/PackageCache/com.unity.services.analytics@4.2.0/Runtime/Runtime/Consent/ConsentTracker.cs:377)
3. Unity.Services.Analytics.Internal.ConsentTracker.IsOptingOutInProgress () (at Library/PackageCache/com.unity.services.analytics@4.2.0/Runtime/Runtime/Consent/ConsentTracker.cs:233)
4. Unity.Services.Analytics.AnalyticsServiceInstance.Flush () (at Library/PackageCache/com.unity.services.analytics@4.2.0/Runtime/AnalyticsServiceInstance.cs:104)
5. GameManagement.Start () (at Assets/Scripts/Managers/GameManagement.cs:53)
6.  

In Game Management Start() function I sent custom event(You can see in the question) and in the line 53 there is Flush() function.

 

No, I tested with logcat. I don't get this error on mobile(android).
Edit: I tested with no internet connection and I got the same error on mobile too. But with internet connection there is no error.

 

Yes I went through that document. And as you can see in my code I check

if(isOptInConsentRequired)

. If its true then this line runs:

 AnalyticsService.Instance.ProvideOptInConsent(consentIdentifier, false);

There are two points in the document that I do not understand;

• Where and when should I call the Check User Consent() function?
• And how do I show the PIPL consent flow?

Also, can I completely exclude China from Analytics without having to check?

 

So according to the article CheckForRequiredConsents() returns PIPL when the user is in china, for GDPR and CCPA it will auto-opt-in so the function will never return those, since the code documentation states:
"If the required consent was already given, an empty list is returned.
If the user already opted out from the current legislation, an empty list is returned."

That seems wrong to me. I am pretty sure that in europe you need to consent to analytics, at least in Germany!

Then I read:
"Unfortunately we don't yet have an easy method to opt back in.
Three ways you can go about it are:

1. Delete PlayerPrefs and restart application.
2. Clear all data and cache for application.
3. Uninstall application and reinstall."

So you basically don't have a Opt-In mechanism at all at the moment.

That's very poor in my opinion.
Since Data privacy in our days is a really important topic.
