NoSuchMethodError exception when calling setConsentStatus

[kiloophilipullersted]

Hello

When calling the setConsentStatus, via the SetConsentStatus(bool personal) method(in HuaweiServiceSample/Assets/HuaweiServiceDemo/Scripts/test/ads/AdsTest.cs) on a P9 (Android 6) and a MediaPad M5 lite (Android 8), I get this exception.

You should be able to reproduce it by downloading the project(HuaweiServiceSample) building it and pressing "set content personal" or "set consent not personal" button.

Any ideas of how to fix it or what the issue causing this could be?

Attached is a device log for when the exception happens on one of the devices mentioned. The exception is starting at line 9309

Hi @kiloophilipullersted , we will be on holiday before May 5th but will investigate it and get back to you asap.

Hi @kiloophilipullersted, I failed to reproduce this bug. I tried all test devices I can reach. Does this happen only on these two devices? Does the ads scene work on your other devices?

This is possible because of android version. I create a branch issue/19 and add some fix. I have not verified this for all the packages. So, I will not update this onto master immediately. Could you try it and see if it works?

[kiloophilipullersted]

Hi @SiyaoHuang

This only happens on those 2 devices. It works fine on my other devices(Galaxy S10+, Huawei P40)

I will try the issue/19 branch and see if that fixes the issue.

[kiloophilipullersted]

I have tried the issue/19 branch and the issue still occurs on the branch on the devices(P9, MediaPad M5 lite)

[SiyaoHuang]

@kiloophilipullersted I tried it on HUAWEI P9 PLUS(EMUI 8.0.0, Android8.0.0,HMS Core 5.1.1.303), and failed to reproduce the error. I will try to find a HUAWEI P9.

Hi @SiyaoHuang

After having the Huawei out for a while, we have found some more devices, where the issue occurs.

Below is a list, of devices, where the issue occurs. Hopefully this will help you in reproducing the issue.

• Huawei Y7 2018
• Huawei Nova
• Huawei P8 Lite
• Huawei P10 Lite
• Huawei MediaPad T5
• Huawei MediaPad T3 10

Adding to Philip's post above:

A suspicion is that it relates to the version of HMS core installed on the problematic devices, so maybe it can be reproduced by installing an older version of HMS core (e.g. 3.x).

Hi @kiloophilipullersted and @RasmusSKristensen.

Does this issue happen when this function is called from native android project?

According to document, Publisher of Ads kit needs 3.0+ emui and 4.0+ hms core.

[KilooNGUI]

Not sure if it happens when calling it directly from native code - we only call methods via Unity. But the sample app did reproduce it for us, so you can see exactly what the code does there I reckon.

If it is caused by HMS Core being too low a version, then maybe what we are seeing is "expected behaviour"?

Hi @RasmusSKristensen, did you mean you tried hms ads project and got error as well when calling setConsentStatus?

Method in Unity calls native code via reflection. They should be the same in most cases.

Hi @SiyaoHuang

No, we have not tried with that sample project. The one we tried - although it is a while ago by now - was this one: https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/HuaweiServiceSample

Hi @RasmusSKristensen, could you try sample project from Huawei? I could not reproduce this issue on either https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/HuaweiServiceSample or https://github.com/HMS-Core/hms-ads-demo-java.

Hi @RasmusSKristensen, could you try sample project from Huawei? I could not reproduce this issue on either https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/HuaweiServiceSample or https://github.com/HMS-Core/hms-ads-demo-java.

Hi @SiyaoHuang - we will see what we can figure out and post an update here when we have news.

@SiyaoHuang I reproduced the issue again today on https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/HuaweiServiceSample (f4e3f1e) on a Huawei P9 EVA-L09 (an older phone) with HMS Core 6.3.0.310.

Build steps

• Imported into Unity 2020.3.22.f1.1228 (closest version I could find to the sample project) with Android target platform
• Added agconnect-services.json for our app as downloaded from AGC
• Changed bundle identifier to match our app in player settings and line 93 in AndroidManifest.xml
• Configured a random release key for signing
• Set HmsAdsSampleScene as the only one in the build

Test steps

• Sideload and start app on phone
• Press "set consent personal"
• Observe that error is printed on the screen

As you know, it is not reproducible on all devices.

[andreasboyekiloo]

@SiyaoHuang I tried with https://github.com/HMS-Core/hms-ads-demo-java (17db02e) as well on the same device as yesterday. I couldn't reproduce the exception when calling setConsentStatus, but ads were still not functional, so just posting this info in case it is helpful.

Build steps

• Opened the project in Android Studio 2020.3.1 Path 4 (latest version didn't seem to support HMS Toolkit)
• Changed the applicationId in build.gradle to match our app
• Completed the HMS Toolkit configuration wizard
• Had to change code to force getScreenOrientation() to return portrait due to a compile error

Test steps

• Sideload and start app on phone
• Observe that splash ad could not be loaded

01/26 12:13:27.396 27362 27362 Info HiAdSDK.AdMediator ad failed:494
01/26 12:13:27.397 2349 26538 Info HiAdKit.DC.DcUtil base location switch off
01/26 12:13:27.397 27362 27362 Info SplashActivity SplashAdLoadListener onAdFailedToLoad, errorCode: 3

One thing I noticed (if relevant) on this device was that the country was determined as UNKNOWN:

NetworkSdk_CountryCodeBean getVendorCountryCode|-1|countryCode by ro.hw.country is: eu
NetworkSdk_CountryCodeBean getSimCountryCode|-1|countryCode by SimCountryIso is:
NetworkSdk_CountryCodeBean getProductCountryCode|-1|countryCode by ro.product.locale.region is:US
NetworkSdk_CountryCodeBean getLocaleCountryCode|-1|EMUI 9.0 lower System, get countryCode form ro.product.locale.region or locale
HiAdKit.AccessMethod.Builder countryCode:UNKNOWN

Ads were functional using above steps on a control device.
