No matter how I upgrade to the latest version of unity ads sdk or delete unity ads sdk, after submitting the new version of the app, google still thinks my app contains code below unity ads sdk 4.0.1. I am using unity 2021.3.2, but I can’t upgrade unity to version 2022 because of some plugins. Is there a way I can completely remove the Unity ads sdk, since I don’t use it. Thank you!
Hi there,
Please follow the steps below that may help you to resolve your issue:
-
Remove the Advertisement package from the package manager.

-
Switch off the “ON” button for Ads in your project settings.

Thanks!It works.
I had same issue and rejected update from google.
The advertisement package was already removed, and there’s no ‘Ads’ menu in Project Settings/Services.
And rejected, because of SDK: Unity com.unity3d.ads:unity-ads
I don’t know what I have to do any further.
please help
We can forget to build games with Unity for Android.
I am having this same problem. Ad package removed, ads service disabled, yet Google still complains. This is ridiculous, if I remove ads and the ad package I expect it to be removed and not that Unity secretly still spies on the users.
I can also confirm that this is still an issue. What are the new requirements for ensuring ads are not active when building for Android? Because all of that is deactivated in my project, but google still detected user data being transmitted off device.
This is on Unity 2022.3.13
Check from the Play Console if you released any internal, closed or open testing builds. Those must be updated as well.
