Question Error during Google app submission: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: aewt

Hi,
Since a few days, I can't manage to get my Android apps approved. During the Pre-launch stability testing, the following error always pops up:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: aewt
(see below for the fatal exception details)
Error detected on a Huawei P8.

It seems related to Firebase (see https://github.com/firebase/quickstart-unity/issues/861)

But I don't think I'm using Firebase or Youtube calls. My Unity version is 2019.4.14f1 (LTS)

Any idea for a workaround? (those mentioned on the Firebase forum didn't work)

Thanks in advance,
Lionel

Same here, this error didn't show up in previous releases. Looks like it affects other people not using Unity as well (see here). Is this related to Player Settings>Minify? I set this to Gradle, but as I mentioned above, I didn't have any problems a few weeks ago. Some light on this would be appreciated...

 

Well, regardless this error my app is finally up there! I guess something was wrong in Google side

 

My app was also finally approved, even with this error. You must be right, probably some issue Google side.

 

Hello folks!
Please tell me after how many days your app was eventually published in the play market with this error.
We just have a similar situation, and now I don’t know what we will do? Relax and wait, or try to fix this error?
Your experience tells us to relax and wait ))

 

Hi Loomabox,
I sent my last build on 2020-11-18, and it went live on 2020-11-20 (so 2 days).
