Bug Play Asset Delivery: SecurityException on Android 14

Enormus · Oct 19, 2023

Using Unity 2021.3.28f1 the com.unity3d.player.PlayAssetDeliveryUnityWrapper.registerDownloadStatusListener module is throwing "SecurityException: One of RECEIVER_EXPORTED or RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED should be specified when a receiver isn't being registered exclusively for system broadcasts" on Android 14 when targeting Android API 34." Attached is a stack trace. Is this fixed in a newer 2021 release and/or is a fix in the works? All that is required is to add of the parameters such as:

"Intent intent = _activity.registerReceiver(BluetoothReceiver, filter, android.content.Context.RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED);"

Issue is coming from
'com.google.android.play:asset-delivery:2.0.0' package. As a workaround you can try exporting your project, modify build.gradle
(changing from
implementation 'com.google.android.play:asset-delivery:2.0.0'
to
implementation 'com.google.android.play:asset-delivery:2.1.0')
and building from Android Studio.
Or another option - enable Custom Main Gradle template in Player -> Publishing settings and add
implementation 'com.google.android.play:asset-delivery:2.1.0' to the dependencies section

@IGuscin thank you for the suggestion. Unfortunately, changing to version 2.1.0 results in an immediate crash on startup. I've attached the crash stack trace

Hi all,

Any update on this ?

We're getting the same problem with the latest 2020.3 release when building an android AAB bundle with "split application binary" enabled (to generate embedded asset packs).
As stated before, the solution provided here doesn't work for multiple reasons:

the "com.google.android.play:asset-delivery" library is not in the dependencies of the build.gradle file in Unity 2020 or 2021, instead the older "com.google.android.play:core" is. And you can't just replace one with the other without also altering the native android player code...
This essentially replaces a problem with another.

the exception is clearly thrown from native android player code not meeting the API requirements. Unless the newer versions of this API reverted those requirements, the provided solution has no chance to work.

As of now, building an Android AAB app targetting Android 14 (API 34) using Unity 2020 or 2021 is impossible if you also want to use embedded asset packs by enabling the "split application binary" option.

Hello all,
Any updates?

IGuscin · Dec 21, 2023

As far as I can see the fix has already landed and should be available in 2021.3.34f1 and 2022.3.14f1

The most recent version of 2021 that I see is Unity 2021.3.33f1. This version still has the crash issue.

IGuscin · Dec 29, 2023

I'm not sure what's the release timeframe, but the fix has landed and should be in 2021.3.34f1

claudiosdafonso · Jan 1, 2024

When will 2021.3.34f1 arrive?

Still persists in 2021.3.34f1 - working on Android 13 but not on 14. Any suggestions?
Working with 2022.3.17f1 on Android 14!

IGuscin · Jan 25, 2024

Can you share a repro project? It might be another issue (same issue, caused by different lib, package etc.)

llFlexford · Feb 8, 2024

My case with crash:
1. Unity 2021.3.34
2. Build with options:
2.1. Build App Bundle
2.2. minimum api 22
2.3. target api 33 or 34
3. Upload app to google console(because build *.aab)
4. Donwload and start app on Android 14
5. Crash

I cannot say anything without an repro project. We're unable to reproduce the issue. Only a wild guess - did you enable split app binary?

For build use menu: MVP -> 1) Build App
For install use menu: MVP -> 2) Install build
For change build params use script BuildTool.cs

I'd like to jump in here and ask should the fix also work for split binary then? We're under the same belief as HarryCoder explained earlier here: Play Asset Delivery: SecurityException on Android 14

IGuscin · Feb 13, 2024

As far as I know 2020.3 is no longer supported, so I wouldn't expect fix to land there. For 2021.3 - fix was actually targeting this specific case. Crash was occurring in Google 'com.google.android.play:asset-delivery:2.0.0' package, so the fix was to bump package version in 2022.3 and above Unity versions and to replace obsolete com.google.android.play:core package in 2021.3

Maybe I'm missing something? I've downloaded your sample project, opened using Unity 2021.3.35f1, specified signing key, built using MVP->Build, uploaded to the Play Store Internal testing track, downloaded to the Pixel 6 Pro Android 14 device. No crash occurred. Seeing empty scene with Build ID in the bottom

I did sample for 2021.3.34f1, idk, may be it's required...
Also google store isn't required, I can reproduce crash just use adb or bundletool commands for instal apk or aab to my device.
May be need specific device OS, my device is oneplus 10 pro, OS - OxygenOS 14.0

IGuscin · Feb 13, 2024

I believe I might know where's the problem. As far as I can see you've added to the Main Gradle Template
configurations.all {

   exclude group:"com.google.android.play", module: "core"

}
And your app crash with exception: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: No interface method getPackStates(Ljava/util/ListLcom/google/android/play/core/tasks/Task;

If I remove custom implementations and exclude I have crash

If I add asset-packs implementation for version 2.1.0 i can't build app

IGuscin · Feb 14, 2024

If we're talking about the sample repro project - you can try just to backup all the templates, remove existing ones and enable these again. That would create a clean, up to date version of templates. Asset delivery package will be automatically added when building/exporting project with Split app binary + build AAB enabled, so no need to add that implementation manually.
I'm able to build and run your project without any issues.
There is also a chance that some of your plugins are adding similar dependencies. You could try updating these, resolving conflicts using EDM4U

llFlexford · Feb 15, 2024

Ok, I did changes:
*. Use unity 2021.3.34f1
1. Disabled all custom gradle templates and android manifest
2. Enabled Split Application Binary
3. EDM4U -> Android Force Resolve
4. Toolbar menu -> MVP -> Build App
5. Toolbar menu -> MVP -> Install build
6. Started app on my device: Oneplus 10 pro, OxygenOS 14.0
7. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Crash!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sample project with current state: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zOFPH3r1jQxzyPROqtPFRD1B9r2CKNHq/view?usp=sharing
Тhere is last build by path '/Builds/build_16', you can install it.

IGuscin · Feb 19, 2024

Were you able to repro the crash using that sample project, not the full one? I've both installed your build_16 and built locally. In both cases no crash occurred. Used 2021.3.34f1

Yes I have crash with build_16.
I think you need check other devices, not only google pixel...

IGuscin · Feb 19, 2024

I've tested with couple other devices and was able to repro crash using build provided by you. But going through steps I've suggested before - build is working fine.
1) Disable all the templates
2) Do a backup of these
3) Rename/remove all the templates from Plugins/Android folder
4) Enable needed templates
5) EDM4U -> Resolve
6) MVP -> Build
7) MVP -> Install

Also, try removing Library folder from your project location, might be that some of the dependencies were cached, thus causing crash.
And might be that crash is caused by some of the plugins/dependencies in your project, that doesn't exist in the stripped repro project

Glad to hear that!
Actually it shouldn't crash starting with 2021.3.34f1, I'm not aware of any changes between 34 and 35 that might affect that

unity_2449251A1C874D7D5181 · Feb 23, 2024

The game was crashing on Android right after opening it. A solution was found on this page. It happned because Unity 2021.3.34f1 was build using Play Asset Delivery 2.1.0 and that caused the error below:

Code (csharp):

Abort message: 'JNI DETECTED ERROR IN APPLICATION: JNI NewStringUTF called with pending exception

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: No interface method getPackStates(Ljava/util/List;)Lcom/google/android/gms/tasks/Task;

in class Lcom/google/android/play/core/assetpacks/AssetPackManager; or its super classes

(declaration of 'com.google.android.play.core.assetpacks.AssetPackManager'

appears in /data/app/com.*****/base.apk)

To fix that, we would need to add the package com.google.android.play:asset-delivery:2.0.2 as dependency on Gradle, although that caused a duplicate class because of Play Core already contains some of the same classes. The solution shown in the link above tells to include this empty monolithic Play Core library as a local maven repository, then we need to Resolve the dependencies on Unity.

IGuscin · Feb 26, 2024

com.google.android.play:asset-delivery:2.0.2 Would crash with Target API 34 launched on Android 14 with Broadcast receiver Exported/Not_exported flag missing. That's the reason behind this update
