Applovin consent popup initialization:

    local need_show_consent = applovin.has_user_consent() == false
    applovin.set_terms_and_privacy_policy_flow_enabled(need_show_consent)
    applovin.set_is_age_restricted_user(false)
    applovin.set_privacy_policy_url("url")
    applovin.set_terms_of_service_url("terms")

Problem description:

GDPR poliсy set up to show in EEA region. It works fine, consent popup is being shown in these countries as expected. But when i launch the app in any other region I see (native?) black GDPR popup instead of consent popup.

Expected behaviour:

Consent popup should be shown for EEA region. GDPR or Consent popups should not be shown for other regions. I want to turn off native GDPR popup. Is there a way to add additional method to API to be able to set on/off gdpr separately from consent popup?

@Artsiom17 We don't offer any APIs to customize our Terms and Privacy Policy flow's behavior. We recommend that you also integrate the Google UMP with our flow to comply with TCF v2 consent. You can find more information here https://dash.applovin.com/documentation/mediation/defold/getting-started/terms-and-privacy-policy-flow

@wootaejeon I do not want to use applovin consent flow, i want to use ump flow directly and pass result to applovin. How to call ump flow from the code if i have ump dependency? I don't see any code that is responsible for ump flow logic. I have read the documentation, but don't understand how to integrate Google UMP after adding dependency?

I have added UMP dependency to build.gradle: implementation 'com.google.android.ump:user-messaging-platform:2.1.0'

I need something like this (pseudocode):

local need_show_consent = applovin.has_user_consent() == false -- maybe i need to get this value from ump directly?
-- ump call/show consent popup, get consent result from ump
local ump_consent result = some_ump.show_consent_if_needed()
applovin.set_has_user_consent(ump_consent)

@Artsiom17 To integrate the Google UMP without using our consent flow, you would have to call Google UMP's native APIs manually outside our plugin code. MAX SDK automates the integration of the Google UMP and does not provide additional APIs than what's listed on our documentation.

@wootaejeon got it, thank you for clarification.
