Resolved UnityPlayerActivity.java uses or overrides a deprecated API.

It's my hello world Unity and AR project. It's so hard to build amr64 for Google Play submission using IL2CPP. Are there any chances that we can compile a 64bit bundle using Mono?

First, it's saying that I was compiling an iOS library which I never called and removed from the package manager. I followed what the post told and use #if Unity_IOS to skip those code.

And then, it pops the following. I tried to google it but I don't see any similar posts.
I am new to Unity and I started the project in 2019.3.1f1, and I am using 2019.3.9f1. I having no problem compiling and submitting the iOS version but because I don't know what to do on Android.


Temp/gradleOut/unityLibrary/src/main/java/com/unity3d/player/UnityPlayerActivity.java uses or overrides a deprecated API.

UnityEditor.EditorApplication:Internal_CallGlobalEventHandler() (at /Users/builduser/buildslave/unity/build/Editor/Mono/EditorApplication.cs:442)

 

Update: I searched for another error and someone suggested that removing the Ads plugin. And finally it's working now.

For anyone looking for solution.
You have to move your
implementation 'androidx.multidex:multidex:2.0.1'
and
multiDexEnabled true
from mainTemplate.gradle to launcherTemplate.gradle and it should work.

You should activate these files first here in the Project Setting->Player->Publishing Settings


I solved it in two steps for Unity 2019.3.11f1:

1. Go to Edit->Project Settings->Player->Publishing settings->Tick Custom Properties Gradle Template
2. Go to the newly generated gradleTemplate.properties and add these lines to the top:

android.useAndroidX=true
android.enableJetifier=true

 

hey - this did not work for me
using unity 2019.4.5f1

 

if your game has unity ads go to ads service in advance just uncheck the built in ads extensions.

 

unity Ads unchecked and thats works, Thanks

 

Had the same error message on building recently and it appeared to be caused by not having enough disk space on my windows partition. So if these fixes don't work you might want to check your available disk capacity.

 

I don't have unity ads

This worked for me...Thank you

 

hm, on latest 20.1 builds ok, but AR starts to work slow as hell and all jittery and on 2019.4.16 getting this error and I don't have ads. I had firebase in the project, but I removed everything and reimported the project, nothing helps. iOS also builds fine

 

Any luck solving it?

 

I had the same problem anyway, is there anyone who solved it?

 

Same.

 

instead of ar core i install ar foundation for my case

 

The same. Please help!

 

unity 2020 brings me too many problems, crashing, packing failure

This problem I had in version 2020.2, after 3 days of numerous attempts, I solved him because I changed too many things, I do not know how I solved it
Now this problem is back in 2020.3

I create a new project, add admob and googleplay, it's packable, but not in my project, I don't know where the conflict is

 

It works but,
If I uncheck that option, I get an orange popup: To continue using Unity Ads in your project, please import the latest Unity Ads Plugin from the Asset Store, or re-enable the internal Ads extension under the Advanced settings below.

Will this stop showing live ads in the game?

 

GODSENT! Thank you, sir! After 3 days of banging my head against a wall, I finally managed to get a build working! Thank you!

 

Same!

 

I am here to tell that, a simple restart fixed the issue for me. Using 2020.3.13f1

 

My current version is: 2020.3.17f1.

Thought I'd post my fix here for those of you who, like me, tried all of the above to no avail. Try to change Minimum API Level to Android 5.0. This resolved my issue immediately.

 

Another reason for this error may be, when using a custom keystore. Unity displays this error, when no password is provided in Edit->Project Settings->Player->Publishing settings-> Project Keystore and Project Key fields.

 

Ohh man I have been trying to fix this issue for 5 hours now.
But for me what helped is changing the Min API Level from 5.0 to 7.0
Thanks

 

If anyone has this issue and none of the suggestions worked for you, try checking Android SDK installed on your machine, mine had a revision for the API version that I was targeting so it said it was partially installed which I think might have been the reason my builds were failing for Android. After updating the builds worked again.

 

UnityPlayerActivity.java uses or overrides a deprecated API

If anyone has this issue and using unity mediation with admob then go to services off ads and uinstall the advertisement from package manager because UnityAdsUnityAdapter for admob auto install the unity sdk.

 

I had to change my target API level to 33 in order to fix this issue.

 

This Work for me ! Thanks

 

I had same problem, it was because I did not have a project keystore created/used.

2021.3.16f1

 

I had to update to latest Unity version LTS (in my case Unity 2021.3.26f1. I believe it's because I used an already newer Unity version in a different game and when going back to an earlier version of Unity with the game that gave me this error it found those deprecated APIs... just a hypothesis though. Gradle is a bitch.

 

YOU ARE A LORD! VERY THANKS! (Unity 2021.3.15f1 and 2022.3.1f1)

 

Add these two lines in LauncherTemplate.gradle

Add these two lines in GradleTemplate.properties.

it works for me in 2021.3.8f1

 

v2020.3.45f1

I got the UnityPlayerActivity.java uses or overrides a deprecated API error appear after I changed my KeyStore password and Unity did not persist it. i.e. Wrong Keystore password.

Build errors started with:
Starting a Gradle Daemon, 1 incompatible and 4 stopped Daemons could not be reused, use --status for details
Note: C:\Users\andyb\Documents\Development\WorkingSpec\Code\model-viewer-app\model-viewer-app\Temp\gradleOut\unityLibrary\src\main\java\com\unity3d\player\UnityPlayerActivity.java uses or overrides a deprecated API.
Note: Recompile with -Xlint:deprecation for details.
etc

I blundered around trying to fix until I noticed the bad KeyStore password settings. Updating the passwords fixed the Build problem.

So, the UnityPlayerActivity.java error seems to be meaningless message after real cause - in my case - not reported.

 

I also encounter this error, same case. Thank you.


< Future reference >
Error Message:
UnityPlayerActivity.java uses or overrides a deprecated API .....

Solution:
check if you typed wrong password or not in project keystore password field.
ProjectSetting -> Player -> Publish Settings -> check password of project keystore
