Recently i had to upgrade a plugin. Here is where the issues started, since Android now requires you now to upload apps targetting android 31.
Some details:
- Unity 2021.1.28f1
- Android sdk 31
- Gradle 6.1.1 (version Unity supports)
Multiple plugins
- Facebook (15.1.0)
- Firebase Analytics and Messaging (10.3.0)
- Google Mobile Ads Plugin (v7.3.1)
- TheoPlayer (a plugin to show advertisement specifcally for Belgium)
- ConsentManager
The issue lies with Google Mobile Ads and Theoplayer. TheoPlayer requires package com.google.ads.interactivemedia.v3:interactivemedia:3.22.2 this has a file named META-INF/annotation-experimental_release.kotlin_module and the androidx.annotation:annotation-experimental:1.1.0@aar used by Google mobile also has this file, so i constantly get the error when building More than one file was found with OS independent path āMETA-INF/annotation-experimental_release.kotlin_moduleā.
Trying to exclude this file has no effect. I have no idea how to continue, googeling has not helped me neither. Anybody here with more android native coding experience who can help me further? I have attached our gradle file to this post.

I have tried
- excluding one of the 2 packages makes the build succeed, but ofcourse i am missing libraries then so functionality is broken
- using different version of packages but no success
- tried upgrading to Unity 2022.2 but nothing works there anyway
I donāt know why excluding doesnāt work. Does this have to do with the location of the duplicate files being in External Libraries?
P.S. I have exported to android studio and fixing it in android studio. This error comes from within android studio environment.
