    unity version:2020.2.7f1
    ndk r19c
    android sdk api level 28


    unity call queryIntentActivitiesAsUser on start,but it is forbidden because of privacy policy.when we simmit apk to xiaomi appstore,it was refused. We find not way to turn it off,we have tried remove vr and xr module in package manager,but take no effect.

    the call stack is:
    2021-12-07 13:37:01 md5=F0BB64ACC7D98E6FC5EE1B85456A226F,pkg=com.xx.xx.mi,action=android.permission.MY_READ_INSTALLED_PACKAGES,
    (Intent { act=android.intent.action.MAIN cat=[com.oculus.intent.category.VR] flg=0x20 pkg=com.xx.xx.mi }),
    callstack:android.app.ApplicationPackageManager.queryIntentActivitiesAsUser:1110;
    android.app.ApplicationPackageManager.queryIntentActivities:1058;
    com.unity3d.player.UnityPlayer.nativeRender:-2;
    com.unity3d.player.UnityPlayer.access$300:0;
    com.unity3d.player.UnityPlayer$e$1.handleMessage:95;
    android.os.Handler.dispatchMessage:102;
    android.os.Looper.loop:193;
    com.unity3d.player.UnityPlayer$e.run:20;

    First, I want to say that the code in question is not gathering a list of installed apps as stated. It queries for a very specific system activity that Unity uses on some devices, and returns an empty list in all other cases. That said, to avoid false positives as was happening here, we've changed the code in question to no longer use the intent filter querying technique. One other note is that the code that was causing issues with certification has actually been in place for almost 2 years, so it seems as if the certification rules likely changed at some point to be more stringent.

    The refactored code should be landing in these Unity versions once they become available:

    2020.3.37f1
    2021.3.6f1
    2022.1.8f1
    2022.2.0a19

    I have tried the version 2020.3.41f1, and it no longer calls `queryIntentActivitiesAsUser`.

    But we have encountered another warning. The unity will call `getObbDirs` when android app starts. It also violate privacy policy in some app store in China.

    In previous version, we just modify the method name in libunity.so in order to skip this method call. But in newest version, it crashes if we do the same thing (It's ok in version 2020.3.28f1).

    How can I solve this problem?
