Exception: OBSOLETE - Providing Android resources in Assets/Plugins/Android/assets was removed

[EyeDev44]

I use 2021.2.0b12.3482. Right after update it became unavailable to build an android version because of error. Notice that Assets/Plugins/Android/assets contains the same 2 files sa before. AAR files are also here.
```csharp

Android changes
A large part of the Android build pipeline is now incremental and Unity removed the following features that were in the previous build pipeline:

• Unity no longer copies Gradle
  project assets located in Assets/Plugins/Android/[res, assets] to the Gradle project.

• Previously you could place Gradle resources in this folder and Unity copied them into the Gradle project. You should now use AAR or androidlib plug-ins to pass additional Gradle resources to the application.

• If you place project assets in this folder, Unity shows a build error message.

Unity - Manual: Upgrading to Unity 2021.2

What is the problem is that this error is caused by Unity itself. In my case, it is by UDP.
I got 2021.2.3f1 and UDP 2.2.3
UDP is creating this folder where GameSettings.prop is located.
I hope they will fix it soon.

For anyone facing this issue with UDP, updating to UDP 2.2.4 will resolve the issue.

Hi , I tried to integrate Chartboost ads in my Unity Project.I got this error, Then I went to Services->UDP. In the package manager I used the latest UDP 2.2.5. But still getting the same error.

Deleting the “Assets” folder in "\Assets\Plugins\Android" seemed to fix it for me

[Zeeppo-Games]

You can’t just delete android’s plugin folder. It contains as dependency files and resources you need to build an Android version.

Packing your resources to .aar file could solve this problem. For more details see
