Resolved java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException:This feature requires ASM

Hi Unity Team,

I do not understand what is so wrong with the Unity Engine that whenever I use an Ads SDK I end up getting a Gradle error.

I do not understand why Unity is not addressing such issues when there are so many people complaining about it.

I tried to find a solution for the Gradle error for about a month and then had to remove the ads from the game as I was not able to implement ads in my game, and then I thought to put some IAP in game and even that had issues and now today I bought an asset which was supposed to help me in having ads implemented easily.

I do not understand why you fail to explain what the error is exactly about and I also think that you do not have any plans of making Unity easier for those who are not from Game Development Background.

I saw many - many - many posts on these Gradle errors in many - many - many forums but nowhere there is a single solution to such a non-sensical error. There is no proper documentation of the same.

I though, was finally about to solve the errors and was able to build the .aab file after going through such torment of finding the solution but forgot to increase the build number and when I increased the build number and rebuilt the .aab file without CHANGING ANYTHING (Changed nothing else apart from Build Number for having it in Google Play) I started getting the same old errors but this time I am clueless regarding what is to be done.

Can you please help with my query as it has been about two months since I have my game ready but was battling with Ads and IAP .

Did anyone find a solution for this?

I FOUND A WORKAROUND BUT IT IS A VERY HECTIC WORK TO DO.

The workaround is to export the game as a package by excluding the Dependency manager and mobile ads sdk and then creating a new project and implement the ads sdk in a fresh project and then import the created game as package.

However, the problem is that if I increase the bundle number , I get the same error once again. So even to just increase the bundle error I will have to redo the whole process that I mentioned.

 

Well, if someone is stuck with the same issue, you can try doing the following :

Add the below content in Custom Progaurd :

Code (CSharp):

1. # To enable ProGuard in your project, edit project.properties
2. # to define the proguard.config property as described in that file.
3. #
4. # Add project specific ProGuard rules here.
5. # By default, the flags in this file are appended to flags specified
6. # in ${sdk.dir}/tools/proguard/proguard-android.txt
7. # You can edit the include path and order by changing the ProGuard
8. # include property in project.properties.
9. #
10. # For more details, see
11. #   http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/proguard.html
12.  
13. # Add any project specific keep options here:
14.  
15. # If your project uses WebView with JS, uncomment the following
16. # and specify the fully qualified class name to the JavaScript interface
17. # class:
18. #-keepclassmembers class fqcn.of.javascript.interface.for.webview {
19. #   public *;

56.

59. -keepclassmembers enum  * {

68.     private void readObject(java.io.ObjectInputStream);
69.     java.lang.Object writeReplace();
70.     java.lang.Object readResolve();
71. }

And then try building the game, if the issue still persists, try following the below steps:

• Delete folder: <PROJECT_FOLDER>\Library\Bee\Android
• Android Resolver > Force Resolve
• Build again

Even if the above steps do not work then do the following:

• Delete "Android" folder present in the location : <PROJECT_FOLDER>\Library\Bee\Android
  
• Increase the min API Level to Android 7.0
  
• Android Resolver > Force Resolve
• Build

 

me :
unity 2021.3.16.f1
Google Mobile Ads Unity Plugin v7.3.1


Google admob brought me to this problem , but you saved me.

• Delete folder: <PROJECT_FOLDER>\Library\Bee\Android

I just did this. And build is succussed. Also I can see video ads now. THANK YOU!

Anyway, what is that folder??

 

I can confirm this worked first time.

 

You will have to redo the procedure every time before you build the app. (Delete folder <PROJECT_FOLDER>\Library\Bee\Android , Android Resolver > Force Resolve)

 

I increased the min API Level to Android 7.0 and worked for me. And make sure Android dependencies are resolved.

 

No workaround is working for me. Please share some solid workaround if anyone have.

 

This is not the case for me.

 

Thank you <3

 

* Google Admob Unity Plugin v7.3.1 or Higher

• Delete the folder that is in Library\Bee\Android <= Delete this folder

* I have tried this and my issue is resolved.
* Thank You !!!

 

There is no Bee Folder inside the Library Folder.
Please share another workaround

 

Thank You so much!

 

This worked for me! Thank you. I'm using unity 2021.3.8 and GoogleMobileAds-v7.4.0(AdMob)

 

Thanks it worked!!!

 

<PROJECT_FOLDER>\Library\Bee\Android

I dont have Bee folder guys

 

Increase the Min API Level to Android 7.0. Then Resolve Android Dependencies, and then Build.

 

Thanks, it worked!!!

 

Thanks! this worked for me, using Unity 2021.3.15f1.

 

use minimum api level 22 or above for admob 7.3.1 or later

 

lol, I am guessing, the team responsible for handling this issue doesn't exist anymore!

 

SOLVED

 

I was able to solve the export problem, but now that I installed the APK on my cell phone, the game stops as soon as it starts.
Does anyone know what could be happening?

 

@Mikhael_stardust use debugging on mac for android build. see here

 

This worked for me as well, Much thanks to the author of this solution @duozgamesindia

Delete folder <PROJECT_FOLDER>\Library\Bee\Android , Android Resolver > Force Resolve

 

Thanks! This solution helped

 

Its work

 

Set it to at min API level 24 or higher.

If it still happens, inside gradleTemplate.properties
android.useAndroidX=true
android.enableDexingArtifactTransform=false
Check if it is set.

If you do useAndroidX=true , the ASM7 library is included, and here android.enableDexingArtifactTransform=false seems to conflict with that option.

If you delete android.enableDexingArtifactTransform=false, it will build normally.
android.enableDexingArtifactTransform=false is sometimes included in the ads sdk.

 

This worked for me tysm

 

Deleting the <PROJECT_FOLDER>\Library\Bee\Android did the trick for me
Thank you !

 

This worked for me. Thank a ton

 

Just these two steps solved my problem <PROJECT_FOLDER>\Library\Bee\Android and next: Android > Force Resolve, the unity team should have people like you on the team, thanks!.
