I have downgraded the version to 4.0.1 but while uploading this error popped up again. I also refilled the privacy and data collection questionnaire on the developer's console according to unity's guidelines.

 

What version of Unity are you using? I've been getting this error all the time and it's driving me crazy. I have already removed unityads from my unity project package setting, and my Android project includes a version 4.0.1 of unityads. But there is still this error, and I have no idea what is going on.

 

Was using the latest version of unity ads then after this error, I downgraded it to 4.0.1 and updated the app. but the error is still there on the play console.

 

what is your unity version?i am using 2019.4.26f1.i don't know if this issue causing by unity version.

 

I am using 2020.3.38

 

Have you solved this problem? I'm also facing this problem now, I'm using Unity 2021.1.28 and Unity Ads 4.3.0

 

Me too, same issue, if someone solved the problem please share the solution thank you.

 

I am useless to use unity ads, I removed the unity ads package from the package manager, but the package I played still contains the “com.unity3d.ads:unity-ads” package, who knows how to completely delete the unity ads

I used the scanning tool to scan out the reference list of the package and found that "com.unity3d.ads:unity-ads-3.4.8" exists

 

This is great. What tool do you use to scan this list? grateful!

 

Internal development tools. Also we can use grade command "./gradlew :app:dependencies" scan android studio project.

 

I used Android Studio's built -in analysis tools, showing that my Unity ADS version was 4.3.0, but my update was still not passed!

 

My app does not need to access the unity ads package. I hope to completely remove it from the project. I removed the dependency on ads from the package manager and can still check "com.unity.ads" after building the app

 

In this case, do you try to delete all files in this address C: \ Users \ ... \ Appdata \ Local \ Unity \ Cache \ Packages, and then delete the library folder in the project and generate again?

 

Thank you for your suggestion. I will try it now

 

It doesn't work.....

 

1 Using Unity Cloud Build APK
2 Use a new computer to package
These two are suggestions given to me by Unity. I tried a new computer, but the new computer is only useful for some of my projects.
3 This problem with my game was solved because I was using the api systemInfo.xxx within the game that caused it.
4 First, I changed from using Unity2020 to the LTS version of Unity2021. Then, I removed "Advertisement" from the package manager. Since I am using non-UnityAds advertisements, I didn't encounter any particular issues. After that, I built (API Level31) and uploaded it, and I was able to pass the review without any problems.

These two are replies from netizens. They solved the problem in this way. I don’t have a perfect solution yet. I will reply you when I have more information. You can try these first.

 

I solved this problem by migrating to Unity 2022.2

 

Yes, you can solve this problem by upgrading to Unity 2022
