Daydream bug causing Google Play rejection: "The app does not suppress system bars"

    Hey, I recently submitted my Daydream app for review on Google Play and one of the errors they sent back stated "The app does not suppress system bars". We have both the system bar and navigation bar suppressed during gameplay but there is a bug where the game brings up the navigation bar for two seconds when it launches from the Daydream platform.

    It seems like other developers are running into this issue too:
    http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/1315310/android-app-does-not-suppress-system-bars-in-vr.html

    Is there anyone at Unity with some insight into this and how to solve it?

    Thanks,

    Nick

    Without seeing your project I can't tell you a whole lot. Are you merging in another manifest file that may be causing problems? What VR devices are you targeting for Android and what order are they in your list? Are you manually transitioning to VR mode?

    It is happening also in empty 5.6.0b9 project targeting Daydream VR. You will see system bar for a second before splash screen. It is also happening when you want to show Unity IAP Google Play dialog in Daydream mode.

    AFAIK Unity is doing everything it needs to do to stop this. Not sure why this is happening but will investigate.

    But what caused this? Is there something we can do now?

    AFAIK there is no way to resolve this using the manifest. You'll need to wait for the code fix to come out, hopefully in b11.

    When can we expect b11 to come? Our daydream app is pending release due to this bug. Each time we get the same automatic observation that it does not suppress system bars.

    Thanks

    Our 5.6.0b11 build is already under QA since this morning. Unless we find critical problems, it should be out in the next few days.

    If this doesn't make b11, it will definitely be in rc1.

    From the 5.6.0b11 release notes:
    • VR: Fixed issue with NavBar visibility that was causing Daydream apps to fail Play Store submission. (885518)

    5.6.0b11 seems to have fixed the System bar visibility issue. However it has a bug which does not set android.software.vr.mode in the final apk despite having it set in manifest file so Daydream does not even allow submitting this app suggesting to enable VR mode.

    NavBar visibility was fixed after app start in b11, but not when displaying IAP dialog via Unity In-App Purchasing. Can this be fixed too please? My app is still rejected because of this.

    Confirming that in b11 there is missing android.software.vr.mode in android manifest.
