Google Bans App due Alipay SDK

leave this word, talk for the rest of period..where is the solution?

 

Check if you have some older versions in testing or alpha ring. That was my case. I forgot to update my internal testing ring. In the end, in Artifacts Library section in Google Play Console you should have only one -- last -- active build record. If you have some older artifacts there, that means that it is active somewhere at the moment.

 

So far, it seems limited to users who have included the Xiaomi Game Center on the Build dialog. The solution is it to ensure that this is not checked, it takes up to 30 seconds for the status to appear once you load the Build dialog. Also, as someone previously stated on this thread, ensure none of your Alpha/Beta releases contain the reference, and also check your Artifact library

 

thanks i will try this

 

Thanks, Vagrod, you were right. I had a release in the Internal Test Track which referred to alipay, that was the problem. Production track, Alpha track, Beta track, Internal Test Track mustn't contain active releases which refer to alipay.

 

For some reason it seems that UnityChannel folder gets deleted when you press remove in the xiaomi mi game center in build settings, making it impossible to build without adding it. If you have this problem, just import the IAP in a new project without touching the build settings xiaomi button and then copy the UnityChannel folder in your project.

 

I have the same issue, my internal Android build have been removed by Google because of this AliPay SDK.

But in the build settings, I've never added the "Xiaomi Mi Game Center".



However, when I perform a local APK build, the AndroidManifest.xml contains references to Xiaomi and their AliPay SDK.

Code (CSharp):

1. <activity
2.     android:theme="@ref/0x01030010"
3.     android:name="com.xiaomi.gamecenter.sdk.ui.MiActivity"

I use Unity 2018.310f1 with Unity IAP package version 1.22.0.

 

Is there any updates on this?

I just had the same thing happen:
Project details:
Building from Unity, Windows 7

Unity 2019.1.5f1
IAP version: 2.0.6
Ads Version: 3.2.0

.Net 4.x Equivalent
IL2CPP

Never added the Xiaomi Game Center to the game but there seems to be some Xiaomi related files in the project and manifest.

Added Unity IAP and Ads to my project and got this from Google:

Here’s how you can submit your app for another review:

1. Read through the Personal and Sensitive Information article and make the necessary changes to your app. We’ve identified that your app is using the AliPay SDK or library, which facilitates the transmission of phone number information without meeting the prominent disclosure guidelines. If necessary, you can consult your SDK provider(s) for further information or please upgrade AliPay SDK version to 15.5.5 or higher.
2. Make sure your app is compliant with the User Data policy and all other policies listed in the Developer Program Policies. Remember that additional enforcement could occur if there are further policy issues with your apps.
3. Sign in to your Play Console and upload the modified, policy compliant APK. Make sure to increment the version number of the APK.
4. Submit your app.

After analyzing the APK I found this:

We are removing Xiaomi support moving forward. However, we have not been able to reproduce the issue that you are seeing without explicitly enabling the Xiaomi Game Center on the Build dialog, or possibly having enabled it on a previous build and files may have been left behind even if you subsequently uncheck it. Notice the GameCenter mention in your manifest. Are you able to reproduce on a new/empty project, perhaps using the Sample IAP project here https://forum.unity.com/threads/sample-iap-project.529555/

 

I have the same problem as the users above.. and I've never seen any option to include or exclude Xiaomi Game Center. Maybe you could tell me again how I can exclude this from my apk if it was eventually ever activated?

 

For more information in my case, the issue could come from the fact I created a package from the one downloaded on the asset store to use it easily from the UPM. And I know that all .aar files located in packages' Plugins/Android folder are directly included in the produced APK.

Maybe it's the case of other people here?

 

It would be good to know how it got included in the first place, are you able to reproduce on a brand new project?

 

Alright, so I just set up a new project with IAP and I wasn't able to find any references to AliPay SDK. So I just copied my Game into this new project and it seem to work fine now because google has accepted the update.
So maybe this SDK came from some assets I imported earlier but didn't use them anymore.

 

still confused. i still my game got rejected. i do not use IAP. how can i fix this? pls help!?!?!?!?

 

Did you check the manifest first? Please share the contents of your AndroidManifest.xml using Android Studio and Analyze APK. We have not been able to reproduce when you target Google Play as the IAP target build, only when the Xiaomi GameCenter SDK is checked on the Build dialog. Please confirm with a new project with only IAP enabled, and build to an APK and analyze similiarly.

 

I set false to export xiomi dependences in UnityChannel.aar -> Manifest

This is how my AndroidManifest look now. Am I safe to push the update?

No, as you can see, there are still references to AliPay and Xiaomi. You'll want to remove UnityChannel from the project, if you are not using it. Compare to a new/empty project.

 

Thank you. I solved the problem removing unity channel

 

I don't have UnityChannel, but added Xiaomi SDK wich I can't remove now from my game... I'm using Unity 2019.2.1f. There is no remove button...

 

Make a backup and attempt to manually remove the folders.

 

Did it. It works.

 

I had the same problem in Unity 2019.2.12f1 and I solved it doing what this guy does (fast forward to 1'20'').

 

Can confirm that removing xiaomi, ads and iap from package manager fixed this issue in 2019.3.5 for us.

 

This worked for me! Thanks!

 

Please actually solve this, we have had this problem for 2 months now....

 

Please describe your issue, this is an older thread. The latest IAP version is 1.23.4

 

I found the solution finally:
1- first i modified the AndroidManifest in UnityChannel.aar and set all those lunatic libs 'exported' to false
but it didnt work!
2- next i removed all activities in AndroidManifest UnityChannel.aar and AndroidManifest in aapt in UnityChannel.aar
but it didnt work too!
3- i also excluded all those S***ty libs in Gradle but it didnt work too!!!!!!!

finally i did this which worked for me:
if you have used IAP in your game and really need UnityChannel.aar do this:
i used unity iap version 1.23.4 on Unity 2018.2.21f1

0- navigate to: yourproject/Plugins/UnityChannel/Android
1- rename UnityChannel.aar to UnityChannel.zip
2- Open it with Winrar or something like this
3- Open AndroidManifest.xml in UnityChannel.aar and remove from <!-- Xiaomi SDK Need --> til <!-- Xiaomi SDK Need End --> also remove all Permissions that has satanic verse 'Xiaomi', do the same thing to AndroidManifest in aapt folder
4- navigate to libs folder
5- rename: MIO_SDK_UNITY_1.3.9_10156.jar to MIO_SDK_UNITY_1.3.9_10156.zip
6- Open MIO_SDK_UNITY_1.3.9_10156.zip with Winrar again
7- remove 'cn' folder completely
- go to folder 'com', and remove below folders:
1- alipay
2- wali
3- xiaomi
8- rename MIO_SDK_UNITY_1.3.9_10156.zip to MIO_SDK_UNITY_1.3.9_10156.jar
9- rename UnityChannel.zip to UnityChannel.aar

* note that if winrar asked you to update modified files in zip, click Yes

then build your project, it builds without error, IAP works, and Google accepts your APK!!!

Xiaomi ruined my whole weekend!!!

 

I tried the method of Rockstar32 but it didn't work for me. Modifying the AndroidManifest.xml wasn't enough : I could see in the AAB archive that all the authorizations refering to Xiaomi or AliPay were removed, yet Google would reject the build because somewhere in the AAB there was still AliPay refs... I tried to comment the refs in AndroidManifest.xml, failed, then I completely removed them, failed...

When I migrated my project from 2018.4 to 2020.3, I had erased all the directories refering to iAP as they advise in the Package manager desc. But for some reason, when Unity migrated the project, it also added a directory :
Unity\Assets\Plugins\UnityChannel

So, I tried something else : I uninstalled completely the IAP package, DELETED the directory Plugins\UnityChannel, and reinstalled IAP package 3.0.2 and it DIDN'T reinstall the directory Plugins\UnityChannel... It seems that this directory was useless, unless you use Xiaomi SDK, which was installed for a mysterious reason by Unity during the migration from 2018 to 2020 (I never used or installed Xiomi SDK in my 2018 project).
So, there was no more need to tweak the AndroidManifest.xml file, as all the directory was not installed and not needed actually.
I rebuilt the Android version as it is, and finaly it was approved by Google.
Hope it can help someone else (I wasted a week and 6 submissions to Google... I even had my in-apps banned by Google at one point, but they restored them once the build was approved)

 

How You Modified Untychannel.aar

 

You just need to install the recent version of IAP, and remove Assets/Plugins/UnityPurchasing as mentioned in the release notes. Make a project back up first.
