未使用Unity Ads，却在提审谷歌时提示违反隐私政策

废话一句

本文仅分享问题分析解决过程、思路，不保证正确，仅供参考。欢迎各位大佬讨论、指正。

问题

最近团队有个项目要上线谷歌，上线aab提审时总提示我们的Unity SDK 版本过低不符合隐私政策。但是实际上我们的项目并未使用Unity Ads 的SDK， 其他功能也不涉及隐私问题。

分析

多次修改项目中使用的SDK内容再重新提审，先后排除了项目使用过的Facebook SDK 和 数数SDK，即使不接入任何额外的SDK也还是因同样的原因提审失败。

反编译APK后发现我们的包里确实有低版本的Unity Ads 但manifest.json和AndroidManifest.xml都没有体现相关内容。应该是Unity自动偷偷集成了低版本的Unity Ads，随着谷歌隐私政策的更新，该版本变得不再符合隐私政策。

解决

主动安装高版本的Unity Ads，比如在Package Manager 安装当前的最新版本4.3.0或审核不通过提示中的高于4.0.1的版本。推测是高版本会覆盖低版本，或是以高版本为准。重新提审，审核通过，问题解决。（可能等Unity更新了偷偷集成的Unity Ads 版本就不会有这个问题了。）

文中写的这次提审过了之后，运营操作了一下测试分组，就又出现了一样的审核不通过提示。

联系Unity官方说是需要运营删除关联的有问题的包（大意），但也没说一定是这个原因。后来同事用Pro版的Unity打包，去掉了开屏动画，再提交就过审了，这几天也没再出问题。

之前反编译APK时发现的低版本的Unity Ads 确实是在开屏动画的模块（Splash Image、Splash Screen），推测是和开屏动画的广告功能有关。具体原因可能还是要等官方具体解释。
