I see a lot of negative reviews for this plugin saying it is outdated, is not needed anymore or would break newer setups. Can someone please confirm if it is needed for 2019.4.15f1 or later?

22

What do you mean by needed, is it working for you? Can you provide additional context?

23

Thank you for your quick reply.

I am in the process of setting privacy policy and/or target audience in the Google Play Console and am trying to see if I make use of Unity Ads, Analytics and IAP that I would need to install this plugin if my Unity Editor version is 2019.4.15f1 or later, Advertisement version is 3.6.1 or later and In App Purchasing version is 2.1.1 or later. I don’t see I have an Analytics package installed by the way.

I am trying to be proactive in making sure most things work before submitting answers to Google Play Console about my app which I presume is necessary before I can upload my APK and test out my IAP products.

Edit: If possible, I would also like to know if the plugin is needed for the same setup as mentioned above for Apple App Store.

Edit2: Currently, I believe my game is targeting audience ages 6 and up.

Edit3: I have not installed the plugin yet because I read in the reviews that it could break things for newer setups and am apprehensive about it.

Please let me know if you need more information

Thank you.

@seloran Please see the first post in this thread. If you are using ads, then you should be ok without the privacy plugin.

Thanks a lot for your reply Jeff.

I see. Sorry for the trouble. I think I misread the first post when I first read it. So if I understand correctly now that if I use both Unity Ads and Unity IAP (which turns on Unity Analytics as well, I think), I don’t need to worry about privacy issues stemming from Unity IAP.

Does this work with the new iOS 14 AppTrackingTransparency framework?
So I’m only doing IAP, it’s still considered tracking since IAP is reliant on Analytic?

27

Not related, IAP or Analytics doesn’t affect ATT and doesn’t use or send the IDFA

28

Thanks, so this plugin opt-out for collecting deviceID? There’s a variable to turn to collect deviceID by default?

29

We do not collect deviceID. You can use Charles Proxy to confirm

Note the above is all for the legacy Analytics. The new analytics system does require separate opt out code etc. and there is not a Unity provided plugin anymore.

Does this apply for mobile too?
Like can I use Unity IAP without analytics?

32

Yes it applies to mobile. You won’t see any IAP revenue in your Unity Dashboard if you choose not to enable Analytics. I just tested without it, and IAP still functions correctly, but you’ll see warnings in the Editor Console and the device logs. As we are going off topic now, I will lock this thread. For any data privacy or opt out questions, please open a new thread.
