Errors on install from Package Manager (missing .meta files)

Describe the bug

When installed via Package Manager (OpenUPM repo), there are errors from the plugin because some .meta files are missing from the package.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open package manager settings (Edit > Project Settings > Package Manager).
2. Add an entry for the OpenUPM registry:
   • Name: OpenUPM
   • URL: https://package.openupm.com
   • Scopes: com.google
3. Open package manager (Window > Package Manager).
4. Select My Registries:
   
5. Select "Google Play Games" and install it.

Expected behavior No errors.

Versions

• Unity version: 2022.3.12
• Google Play Games Plugin for Unity version: 0.11.1

Additional context I see in Library\PackageCache\com.google.play.games@0.11.1\ that some files/folders have .meta files, but the ones mentioned in the error messages don't.

This repo has been neglected. It actually not compatible with UPM

I have forked and do all upgrading https://github.com/Thaina/play-games-plugin-for-unity/tree/master

You can compare the change here https://github.com/playgameservices/play-games-plugin-for-unity/pull/3304

@Thaina Thank you. The package in OpenUPM links to this repo. Should it link to your fork?

[Thaina]

I don't know if my fork really compatible with OpenUPM, and also who and how to publish this package into openUPM in the first place. Maybe that person can verify if my package should be in OpenUPM or not

I see the name ltmx but I don't know should I contact that person

[Thaina]

Instead I would like to recommend you using git dependency instead of openUPM
