Not enough storage space to install required resources - AssetModuleException

[noambe]

I'm seeing a very strange problem on my Android phone- I have a game published in Google Play that works fine on all of my devices.
Recently, on the same device that used to work just fine, when I download the game from Google Play I get this popup message saying "Error - Not enough storage space to install required resources".
I haven't updated the game on Google Play at all, it just started happening.

Important to note: the game worked fine on the same phone just a few days ago.
My phone's space is fine, I have 40gb free, and I also tried another Unity game of mine and it loads fine.
Phone model: Galaxy S22
This is what I see in the adb logs:

I tried:
cleaning Google Play cache
reboot phone
uninstall/reinstall multiple times from different accounts.

Still repros- any idea??

Currently facing the exact same issue, did you manage to fix it?

No. I was only able to understand why the problem happens, but not a solution. It's related to Android not deleting the app folder from the external memory after uninstall. My next step is to factory reset the phone...

See my other post here: https://forum.unity.com/threads/app-uninstall-doesnt-clean-folder-inside-storage-emulated-0-android-data.1353758/#post-8544083

Can you write your device model? I just heard of another S22 that can't install my app.

Phone is a Galaxy S22+
Model number is SM-S906W

It sure looks like a problem with S22 then. I updated my post in this forum, and also opened a ticket on Samsung. Now it's just hoping that the right eyes see that.

Would this occur if you were to post resulting build on the store, and download it from there?
Also does this happen when debugging directly from Unity?

[noambe]

Yes for both.
You can download my game, launch it, uninstall and download again: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=NoamStudios.Games.MegaTicTacToeFree&hl=en_US&gl=US&pli=1
Let me know if that repro's for you.

[tromagon]

I did a factory reset of the phone, so it was okay for a while then the issue started happening again.
I tried your game and the steps you provided, the bug occurs 100%
Any progress on your end?

[noambe]

No, at this point Samsung and Unity needs to figure this out between themselves. So far I opened tickets for both of them, but it's not getting traction. I wish I had better way to escalate.
It seems to be happening just on S22, so I simply avoid testing on this device.

I seem to have run into a similar problem, also with an S22.

[noambe]

If anyone has good connections with either Samsung or Unity, please help escalate to their eng team. As of now I'm not getting any traction from any of them being a single developer.

I managed to fix it by doing the following: delete the data folder (Android/data (not sure if it's necessary, but just to be safe)), clear your app data/cache, and give storage permission before opening the app.

I'm pretty sure it should work. Gl.

I have the same issue, this occur after I use SDMaid pro to clean my Mi 8, and after that crash keep happening, so I enable Storage Permission before open the app -> open the app then wait a bit . then bom the app works normally again
