    I received an email from Google with a problem with my application:

    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.



    I do not use Alipay sdk. How do i find a library, which facilitates the transmission of phone number information without meeting the prominent disclosure guidelines?

    Interesting. Engineering here is asking if affected developers might send us their APK that is experiencing this issue. Please open a support ticket via Analytics and IAP here https://unity3d.com/learn/support

    Scroll down until you see Analytics and IAP Support, create a support ticket there.

    I've tracked down the issue to UnityChannel plugin. For some reason it was present in the project, which caused the following lines in Manifest file:
    http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/androidname com.alipay.sdk.app.H5PayActivity
    http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/androidname-com.xiaomi.gamecenter.alipay.HyAlipayActivity

    I've deleted UnityChannel plugin, since our game doesn't use IAP and resubmitted the app. Hope, this info might be helpful to someone else. I'll post an update if the issue raises again.

    Hello! we have the same problem:
    "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. Make sure to also post a privacy policy in both the designated field in the Play Developer Console and from within the Play distributed app itself.

    If necessary, you can consult your SDK provider(s) for further information or please upgrade AliPay SDK version to 15.5.5 or higher."

    We are looking forward to at least some kind of help

    I restore the game which was banned for Alipay SDK. As my games works perfectly
    Obviously I recommend to fix it on this way...
    Which i make it in my first youtube video.

    Unity IAP is "aggressive" with embedding all available libraries in the project, even when not needed.

    We didn't require Alipay in our app at all, and we noticed that Google was requesting new permissions like phone book, phone numbers when we uploaded our app! Unity really needs to do something about this.

    Going to use other apps for payments as there is way too much spyware embedded in there.

    I updated also 64 bit. And if have added xiaomi game center, removed it. That was work to recover my two games.
