Found dependencies: com.android.support:support-v4 required by (this app)

Hi, I am developing an App at the moment and have run in to some problems.

I have a simple game created, it's called 'Pin Cushion'. You can see it in it's current form on the Play store. (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zweiHStudio.HH).

I had it running fine and had integrated leaderboards into it. Two days ago, I ran some updates. I have the latest Android SDK, GooglePLayGames plugin and my Samsung S7 edge also updated to Android 7, Nougat.

Since these updates, when I try and build and deploy my app to my phone I am getting a series of warnings. The app then tries to load, it goes to the Unity splash screen, then goes blank and closes.

I've uninstalled everything and then reinstalled. I've checked my SDK paths. No matter what though i can not get the game to build and run on my phone. The full list of warnings I receive are below.

Sorry for all the text. I'm stumped on this and would really appreciate some help. I've searched a lot on the web, but not found a solution.

Regards,
Hugh.

 

Included these in my install....

 

I've since removed all attempts to link the project to Google Play services. I can now get a build to run on the Samsung S7, but....it looks like this for some reason. Menu functions, but I don't know what is happening to the rendering.

Regards,
Hugh.

 

That looks like a shader error. Which version of unity are you using. Some recent versions have some shader compiler bugs forget which versions.

I've found it easier to install googlePlay plugin to an empty project, go through and remove all google play files, then copy it over. Then repeat the process when updating.

 

Hi Image28, thanks for the reply.

I'm currently rebuilding from an earlier version (thank heavens for version control!). It is currently running and rendering fine pre any integration with Google Play services.

I'll try what you suggest and import the Google Play package into a fresh project and then build on top of it.

Thanks for the help, I'll update as I make progress.

Hugh.

 

I have the same problem, can you please explain step by step how did you fix google play services?

 

Hi SeverCrow.

I have at this stage rebuilt my project but I am still running into exactly the same problems. The APK is deploying to my Android device but it will not load past the Unity Splash screen. I get the same errors as above. I've done a lot of searching and see others have had the problem at different stages of updates. I've tried all suggested solutions but to no avail.

If you come across a solution I would appreciate if you get could get back to me.

Hugh.

 

Have the same problem.
If I disable script with Google Play services implementation, my app can load after the splash screen.
Seem like app crashes when it comes to loading GP Services code.

 

I've found a solution. The warnings are still there, but the app doesn't crash anymore.

Original solution - https://github.com/playgameservices/play-games-plugin-for-unity/issues/1604#issuecomment-280850233
And a little bit more convenient way - https://github.com/playgameservices/play-games-plugin-for-unity/issues/1607#issuecomment-281388407

Please share this solution.

 

Thank you so much folks! This has been a week of frustration. I've just done the file replacing and it seems to have built, deployed and run on first test. I'm hoping this is it.

After the build, Unity gave me the following prompt. This is the kiss of death!

I hope this continues to work!!!

Hugh.

 

How have you replace 10.2.0 by 10.0.1?? I have this:

 

First, Now, I click in my button Google Play Games, but.... I do not get the mail to put it in google play games and after my App is closed.
