Ok, can you please follow the below steps?

Close and re-open unity
Delete all .aar files in Assets/Plugins/Android folder
Open Player Settings and enabled Main Template gradle and gradle properties options
Force Resolve
Build

lapis berry May 29, 2025, 7:53 AM

#

okay I will try

#

there is nothing in my Assets/Plugins/Android folder

brittle mango May 29, 2025, 7:54 AM

#

ok, then pls ignore that step
Btw, nothing? You mean empty Android folder?

lapis berry May 29, 2025, 7:54 AM

#

for the blank project

#

brittle mango May 29, 2025, 7:55 AM

#

ok, then make sure you have Assets/Plugins/Android folder

#

now just do the steps from 3

lapis berry May 29, 2025, 7:56 AM

#

anyway since you're here, I need help with the last project instead, can we have a quick call so I can share my screen?

lapis berry May 29, 2025, 7:59 AM

for now I will try to this step on my current project not the blank one, so delete all the androidx?

#

I think I did the step before, it did make the force resolve succeed, and then I can build the APK, however it will crash at launch

#

from the log cat, there are a lot more errors

Do you have firebase plugins?

Looks like some config is missing realted to those

lapis berry May 29, 2025, 8:03 AM

but it works at v2, should I delete the firebase?

brittle mango May 29, 2025, 8:03 AM

Did you force resolve?

lapis berry May 29, 2025, 8:03 AM

#

I did

brittle mango May 29, 2025, 8:03 AM

#

lapis berry but it works at v2, should I delete the firebase?

Well, we don't need any external firebase plugins to make Essential Kit work.

lapis berry May 29, 2025, 8:04 AM

#

it's for other things, I use the essential kit, purely for the IAP and webview

lapis berry May 29, 2025, 8:07 AM

yes I followed this step, by chatGPT, but never mind ill try your step from the first one

#

deleting the AARS, and force resolve and build

#

hope it works

brittle mango May 29, 2025, 8:33 AM

#

Ok, Are you using google games sdk for leaderboards/achievements?

lapis berry May 29, 2025, 8:34 AM

#

brittle mango Ok, Are you using google games sdk for leaderboards/achievements?

no, no google games sdk inside my project yet

#

do I need it?

brittle mango May 29, 2025, 8:35 AM

#

Not required.

#

We handle all automatically!

#

Just enable the feature in our settings and do a force resolve. Updating manifests, dependencies - all we handle automatically.

lapis berry May 29, 2025, 8:37 AM

why do I have to enabled Main Template gradle and gradle properties options? Was it in installation guide or is my project that is weird?

EDMU needs it. It's a plugin managed by Google for achieving cross plugin compatibility.

#

Can we have a quick remote session?

lapis berry May 29, 2025, 10:48 AM

#

sure, that would be great

#

right now I'm trying to remove anything about firebase

brittle mango May 29, 2025, 11:08 AM

#

ok!

lapis berry May 29, 2025, 11:51 PM

#

I removed all the firebase inside the project, it still crashed at launch with the same error "FirebaseInitProvider"
so I blocked it in AndroidManifest added inside the Application tag : <provider android:name="com.google.firebase.provider.FirebaseInitProvider" android:authorities="io.nusameta.app.firebaseinitprovider" tools:node="remove" />

And it works now, the APK can run

I wonder what cause the FirebaseInitProvider to start? the only place that uses Firebase, after I check the mainTemplate.gradle is the VoxelBuster plugin itself

implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:23.1.1+' // Assets/Plugins/VoxelBusters/EssentialKit/Essentials/Editor/CrossPlatformEssentialKitDependencies.xml:18

so is that right? the Essential Kit 3 do the FirebaseInitProvider automatically? @brittle mango

brittle mango May 30, 2025, 3:19 AM

#

Can you please pass me the final merged manifest file? Or an empty apk(without any scenes)?

lapis berry May 30, 2025, 4:39 AM

#

the androidManifest inside the plugins->Android? basically there's nothing there, I'll give you empty apk

#

right now I removed the <provider android:name="com.google.firebase.provider.FirebaseInitProvider" android:authorities="io.nusameta.app.firebaseinitprovider" tools:node="remove" /> inside the androidManifest.xml and turn off the notification and worked

#

this is the link to my apk (not blank) where I modified the androidManifest and still turn on the notification : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1uXXcwGp85cpnW-djg-p39eQks2PyKUsd/view?usp=sharing

May I know what features are you using from our plugin?

lapis berry May 30, 2025, 5:40 AM

#

Sharing, Webview, and Billing that is implemented

#

out of topic, how do you remove a subscription in Unity Editor after I bought it in Unity Editor just to test?

#

tried clearing playerpref, but it still shown as bought

brittle mango May 30, 2025, 5:43 AM

#

If you are not using Notificaitons, pls disable it in our settings.

lapis berry May 30, 2025, 5:43 AM

#

yes I got it disabled right now

#

seems like that was the problem after all

brittle mango May 30, 2025, 5:43 AM

#

Can you try making a build now?

lapis berry May 30, 2025, 5:43 AM

#

yes it build okay now after I turn off the notification service

brittle mango May 30, 2025, 5:44 AM

#

Actually, if you need notifications, you should not do this

<provider android:name="com.google.firebase.provider.FirebaseInitProvider" android:authorities="io.nusameta.app.firebaseinitprovider" tools:node="remove" />

lapis berry May 30, 2025, 5:44 AM

#

i thought notification can still be turned on, so only local

lapis berry May 30, 2025, 5:44 AM

#

brittle mango Actually, if you need notifications, you should not do this > <provider android:...

yeah, I removed this line, and disabled the notification for now

brittle mango May 30, 2025, 5:45 AM

#

lapis berry i thought notification can still be turned on, so only local

yes. You need to disable push notifications to only use local. Its a setting with in notification services settings.

lapis berry May 30, 2025, 5:45 AM

Ok, for now lets skip it as you are not using notifications. But if you are using notifications, it should work without any problem. However, if you are using fcm, make sure you add google-services json file as its required.

Hello, I’m using Unity 2022.3.62 and the latest version of Essential Kit. I only use IAP from Essential Kit. In my project, I also have AdMob and Firebase. When I use Essential Kit, the Force Resolve process takes forever. It doesn’t freeze, it looks like it’s still working, but even after hours it never finishes. How did you solve this?

brittle mango Aug 21, 2025, 6:12 AM

#

Quit Unity
Remove any .aar files in Assets/Plugins/Android folder
Re-open Unity
Make sure "Main gradle template" option in EDMU Android settings is enabled (This is usually selected by default)
Force Resolve

Let me know if you still face any issues. We can have a quick remote session.

brittle mango <@1199864154081730592> Do you have any high level stripping enabled?

I don’t know about high level stripping, but I’m using Firebase Auth, Realtime Database, Google AdMob, and Essential Kit (IAP + Notifications).

@hot viper Did 3.4.2 work?

hot viper Aug 22, 2025, 2:30 PM

#

Can we have a quick remote session

hot viper Aug 23, 2025, 8:43 AM

#

okay i am ready

#

I tested Essential Kit (latest version) in a clean URP project (Unity 2022.3.62).
When I try to do a Force Resolve, the checkboxes for gradleTemplate.properties, mainTemplate.gradle, and settingsTemplate.gradle are automatically enabled.

If those checkboxes stay enabled resolve success but my project does not run on the device.
So I disable the Patch mainTemplate.gradle option and then try Force Resolve again. But in that case, Force Resolve never finishes – it keeps running forever.

My question:
👉 Is it possible to run a real Force Resolve with Essential Kit in a clean project (Unity 2022.3.62) without enabling mainTemplate.gradle patch?

If Force Resolve could complete successfully in that scenario, it would solve my issue.

hot viper Aug 23, 2025, 5:15 PM

#

I deleted Firebase, Facebook, notifications, and purchases, and did a clean install. I also enabled various Gradle checkboxes as you suggested. It started working without any problems. Sorry for taking up your time. @brittle mango

#Force Resolve took hours to be done, and has errors
