[Jbrandan]

When I import the packate this error comes out (Solution #2013 did not work for me):

Same is happening with me on both Unity 2018.2.0 and 2018.2.1. Please fix it soon.

[Jbrandan]

I could solve it
1-Unity 2018.2.0f2 (64-bit) create scena with all your prefabs
2-delete project prefabs
3-copy the scene
4-Paste the scena in the old version of unity (Unity 2017.3.1f1 (64-bit))
5-re-create the prefabs with the objects in the scena stuck

[AurelioMV]

Thanks! That's a good temporary solution, but I switched to a 4K display after Unity started supporting IDE scaling in 2018.2 release. I'll remove the plugin for now and wait until Unity or Google comes up with a fix.

[Suvitruf]

This repo was updated last time 5 months ago. They don't even accept pull requests. So...

[AurelioMV]

Unity is currently the most used tool for creating android games, I don't think they will let Google Play Games Plugin not working...

[Suvitruf]

This plugin was developed by Google employee, not by Unity.

[AurelioMV]

Exactly, Google wouldn't let their plataform not working in one of the major game engines. As soon as they realize it's bugged they will come up with a fix.

@Jbrandan Try this it will work to solve dependency downloading issue which you facing - #2243

[hsirkar]

Open AndroidManifest.xml found in GooglePlayGames/Plugins/Android/GooglePlayGamesManifest.plugin and replace all instances of "\ " (note the trailing space after the slash) with "\u003". Worked for me on 2018.2.1f1.

Creds @khaledElshimy from #2013

[gauravk95]

Try changing the build system from Gradle to Internal.

[exzizt]

Still an issue.

[wbsaputra]

Same here, crash when using social.auth, Unity 2018.2.0f2 (64-bit)) GooglePlayGamesPlugin-0.9.50
Anyone has solution?

This solution work #2013

[sesan07]

@hsirkar your solution worked for me! :D

[Jbrandan]

2018.2.1f1 already works in this version.
(Unity 2017.3.1f1 (64- bit)) but I'm still

[foenix76]

@hsirkar GPGS 9.5.0 + Unity 2018.2.6f 64bit(Win). You saved my life!! Thanks!!

[v01pe]

Open AndroidManifest.xml found in GooglePlayGames/Plugins/Android/GooglePlayGamesManifest.plugin and replace all instances of "\ " (note the trailing space after the slash) with "\u003". Worked for me on 2018.2.1f1.

Creds @khaledElshimy from #2013

Wow, OK, nice hack! Still got other issues, but this is a bit progress!
Explanation of the hack, b/c i was curious: in unicode (that's what the \u stands for), all numbers start with \u003, so whatever comes afterwards is a number and thus is converted to unicode format…

I'm just curious why the failing \ hack was needed in the first place and still isn't fixed.

[HarrisonHough]

Also found another very similar solution that worked for me on this thread just FYI

You just remove the space after the "" entirely.

https://forum.unity.com/threads/unity-application-id-must-be-a-numeric-value-please-verify-that-your-manifest-refers-to-the-correct.544070/

[olehkuznetsov]

Should be fixed in 0.9.51.

[code-doyen]

      Should be fixed in 0.9.51.

0.9.51 does NOT fix, and \u003 can be omitted simply by removing the space between the backslash and app id like so "\APP_ID
To fix, modify GooglePlayGames\Editor\template-AndroidManifest.txt and rerun Android setup

[olehkuznetsov]

APP_ID is fixed in 0.9.52

@hsirkar can't tell you how much I love you.
