[REQUIRED] Step 2: Describe the problem

Steps to reproduce:

All GMA Unity Packages supporting GMA 23.0.0 causing huge ANRs spike. All anrs refereeing to com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:23.0.0 at com.google.android.gms.ads.initialization.OnInitializationCompleteListener.onInitializationComplete().

I know its not under GMA unity, but you can refer them. because they are not giving any solution at any forum for GMA developers groups.

Thank you. I have confirmed the issue and we are looking into this.

I was able to get to the cause of the issue. The issue is we are missing the Unity Android JNI dependency in the project. The solution is to add the Android JNI dependency using package manager.

Open the Unity Editor menu  Window -> Package Manager select Build In packages and install Android JNI. 

Hope this helps, Nick

I checked, Android JNI is already installed and enabled.
