Greetings,
Google will soon restrict Apps with Android API below 25 being published on Google Play around end of November, in order to align with this new policy, we have encounter some difficulties during the developing process.
We are currently using Unity 4.7.2fl for our app development, and has set the AndroidManifest.xml’s Target SDK as 26, however it could not run normally on devices with Android 8.0 and above. When launching the app, the screen blacks out. So far we do know that the blackout is caused by the game’s permission being unauthorized, however with Unity4.7.2fl, normally it shouldn’t pop the authorization window to players.
We have looked through some forums and many developers solve it by updating it to Unity 2017 above, however due to developing reasonings, we are only able to use Unity 4.
Are there any other developers that have encountered similar issue?
And are there any examples/guides on how to solve this?
Your help is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
