Google Play Console - Warning, com.google.android.play:core SDK-Version 1.10.0

ARE2 · June 11, 2024, 2:32pm

Hello,

during my internal testing of my app in the google play console, out of a sudden I get the follwing warning message and I can’t figure out how to fix that?, I’m new to all that android stuff and this makes me stuck…

"
Warning
The developer of Google Play Core (com.google.android.play:core) has added the following note to SDK version 1.10.0:

If your app is targeting SDK 34+ (targetSdkVersion), then the PlayCore SDK is outdated and will likely cause crashes in your app! Please update: Overview of the Google Play Core libraries | Android Developers
Sieh dir weitere Informationen zu den SDKs an, die du verwendest, und triff mit dem Google Play SDK Index fundierte SDK-Entscheidungen. Zum SDK Index"

Is there a way to fix that directly in Unreal Engine or at another place, maybe somehow in Andoid Studio?

THX in advance
ARE2

Having this exact same issue. Anyone with the know-how?

Me too same issue

no reply still

I don’t know if this is accurate but it turns out one of the plugins isnt updated and that is GooglePAD. I have no idea how to fix this.

But disabling the plugin will get rid of the warning. If you need to use GooglePAD, I guess you might be out of luck unless someone else can contribute a solution

Origins · June 24, 2024, 10:37am

Got mail today about this warning. Looking forward for any contributions to this issue

Maybe Newer version of unreal will have updated Plugin and it will Fix this issue too

Hi , I have solved this issue.

SDK issues in your latest production release 49 (1.0)

Jul 6, 2024 12:53

com.google.android.play:core:1.10.0
Google Play Core (com.google.android.play:core) has added this note for SDK version 1.10.0:

This is caused because of googleplaycore.tasks library.

Goto YourDrive\EpicGames\UE_5.3\Engine\Plugins\Runtime\GooglePAD*GooglePAD_APL.xml*

In this you will find com.google.android.play:core:1.10.0 … Just remove this from to .

After this comment out; import com.google.android.play.core.tasks.OnCompleteListener;
import com.google.android.play.core.tasks.OnSuccessListener;
import com.google.android.play.core.tasks.RuntimeExecutionException;
import com.google.android.play.core.tasks.Task;

In your project directory add .xml to include these for working of Google PAD.

<buildGradleAdditions>
	<insert>
		dependencies {
		implementation 'com.android.billingclient:billing:6.1.0'
		implementation "androidx.fragment:fragment:1.2.0"
		<!-- Added new here-->
		implementation 'com.google.android.play:app-update:2.1.0'
		implementation 'com.google.android.play:review:2.0.1'
		implementation 'com.google.android.play:feature-delivery:2.1.0'
		implementation 'com.google.android.play:asset-delivery:2.2.2'
		
		}
	</insert>
</buildGradleAdditions>

After this build your project. You are Good To Go…

Thanks. Hope it helps some one.

Hi, can you detail a little bit more your solution?

It seems that some parts of your message are missing.

From what to what exactly?

Which .xml? The one in intermediate is overwritten on build, so which one are you talking about?

Thanks!

Krishna_Chaithan1 · July 7, 2024, 7:45pm

Hi, You will find com.google.android.play:core:1.10.0 or 1.10.3 version based on your config < line . You need to remove the total INSERT block from GooglePAD_APL.xml.

Regarding second question. You need to create a xml file in Your Project. For adding this you need to have a C++ project. If you are using a Blueprint project… just add a new c++ class from TOOLS which generates source folder. In source folder create a new .xml file and name it as something like…
AndroidPermission_UPL.xml , I think _UPL is mandatory not sure. You need to add these lines in this file. You need to update your build.cs file to include this newly created file.
If you’re not sure on how to create file and what to insert. Let me know.
In the above xml have include fragment library because it was showing warnings for me ,when I upload on Play Console. You can remove this if you are not facing any issue. Maybe adding unwanted library increases size of application.

Thanks.

NoCodeBugsFree · July 8, 2024, 9:28am

Did exact steps you described, but not working , could you please attach entire modified GooglePAD_APL.xml file and other xml file(AndroidPermission_UPL.xml ) and also tell its exact location in project?

Krishna_Chaithan1 · July 8, 2024, 9:59am

Hi, Can you share your GooglePAD_APL.xml file?.

YOUR DRIVE:\UnrealProjects\YOUR_PROJECT NAME\Source\YOUR_PROJECT NAME

in this you need to create AndroidPermission_UPL.xml file. You need to include it in the

YourProjectName.Build.cs. To include you need to add these lines in Build.cs

using System.IO;

	if(Target.Platform == UnrealTargetPlatform.Android)
	{
        PrivateDependencyModuleNames.AddRange(new string[] { "Core", "CoreUObject", "Engine", "OnlineSubsystem" ,"OnlineSubsystemUtils"});
        DynamicallyLoadedModuleNames.Add("AndroidAdvertising");
       // DynamicallyLoadedModuleNames.Add("OnlineSubsystemGooglePlay");
		var androidRemovePermissions = Path.Combine(ModuleDirectory, "AndroidRemovePermissions_UPL.xml");
        AdditionalPropertiesForReceipt.Add("AndroidPlugin", androidRemovePermissions);
    }

If you are using OnlineSubsystem … add these PrivateDependencyModuleNames.

Thanks

Hey, thanks for the information posted here…

What’s your targetSDK 33 or 34?
Because, I’ve have app crashing after having all these changes with targetSDK 34. But not on targetSDK 33.

P.S: I’m on UE 5.3.2

Rush_At_Games · August 21, 2024, 3:49pm

The app crash issue is resolved with targetSDK 34. The details are at Android 14, SDK 34, Black screen on startup - #10 by Rush_At_Games

Rush_At_Games · August 21, 2024, 3:53pm

I’m not sure how this works though, the play.core apis are still being used by GooglePAD plugin after these changes. However, the implementation of play.core is not included in the deps.

Clean way is to disable the GooglePAD plugin, if not required at all for your game. I chose this approach.
