  • External Dependency Manager version: __1.2.171___
  • Source you installed EDM4U: _Unity Package Manager_Unity Package Manager
  • Features in External Dependency Manager in use: _Android Resolver Android Resolver (Android Resolver, iOS Resolver, VersionHandler, etc.)

Hi, I downloaded com.google.ads.mediation:facebook:6.10.0.0 through EDM4U, but the download prompted a conflict and I ended up downloading com.google.ads.mediation:facebook:6.11.0.1. When I download the 6.10.0.0 dependency via gradle in Android studio, it works fine. Attached is the relevant log of my test.

1. Why is it upgraded to 6.11.0.1 and why is there a conflict with just one dependency package?
2. When this package is combined with other packages that depend on it, it becomes even worse, I have downloaded various alpha versions of the package, is there a good way to solve it?

This issue does not seem to follow the issue template. Make sure you provide all the required information.

Hi @iamfrankjie,

It's possible that this behavior is the result of EDM4U's auto-resolution. Could you try if disabling auto-resolution makes any difference?

[DellaBitta]

Also, in addition to @paulinon's suggestion, It seems that Facebook relies on play-services-ads-base version 20.6.0 and another dependency also requires play-services-ads-base but at a dfiferent version. Eventually 21.2.0 is used. Can you check the rest of your log for entries of play-services-ads-base to see if there's anything that stands out there? Perhaps the AdMob Unity SDK requires a different version.

Thanks!
