Google keep complain about SDKBOX violation of User Data

@nite we don’t collect any PII in our app. Does sdkbox collect any such PII that we need to disclose?

We worked with Google to make sure SDKBOX is complaint with their policy and you shouldn’t need to disclose in regarding PII when using SDKBOX.

Since we are not collecting any PII and sdkbox is already compliant, it is not necessary to add the privacy url.

Thanks @nite

It looks like the pattern is the same for all the plugins, it fails with this line:

 copy /Users/davide/.sdkbox/plugins/sdkbox-flurryanalytics_v2.2.5.3/plugin/android/libs/sdkbox.jar to n/a

Does this help?

Thanks in advance,

Hi All,

I received the same email from Google, right now I updated SDKBOX to
v2.2.5.3 facebook
v2.2.5.3 googleplayservices
v2.2.5.3 iap

Is it OK to solve the alert from google?

yes versions from 2.2.4+ solve sthe issue

Thanks for confirmation

After review, Feed The Dog has been removed from Google Play because it violates our personal and sensitive information policy. This app won’t be available to users until you submit a compliant update.

Here’s how you can submit your app for another review:

Read through the Personal and Sensitive Information article and make the necessary changes to your app. Your app is uploading users’ installed apps information to https://metrics.sdkbox.com without prior proper disclosure.
Make sure your app is compliant with the User Data policy and all other policies listed in the Developer Program Policies. Remember that additional enforcement could occur if there are further policy issues with your apps.
Sign in to your Developer Console and upload the modified, policy compliant APK. Make sure to increment the version number of the APK.
Submit your app.
If approved, your app will again be available with all installs, ratings, and reviews intact.

Are you using v2.2.4+? Let us tag @nite and @kiyall just in case there is a new issue.

have you had any issues since with v 2.2.5.3?

Someone else says their app was taken down by google play due to SDKBOX, and he was running v 2.2.4.14 here: Game rejected on play store due SDKBOX

@nite and @kiyall should read this.

That could be because the updating process didn’t actually updates sdkbox.jar file, we sent 2.2.4 to the google security team and it’s approved by them.

How can we check if the jar file was updated. I’ve also got this message from google:
After review, *, com.*.*, has been removed from Google Play because it violates our personal and sensitive information policy and section 4.3 of the Developer Distribution Agreement.

This is my sdkbox setup:
Copyright © 2015 SDKBOX Inc. v1.0.0.17
installed packages:
v2.3.1.1 vungle
v2.3.1.1 review
v2.3.1.1 sdkboxplay
v2.3.1.1 googleplayservices

I recommend download the latest package and manually replace sdkbox.jar just to make sure.

Dose it say it’s because of SDKBOX? couple other SDK also known to have this issue.

That’s all it says, beside these sdkbox packages, I’m using separately Unity Ads and Heyzap, that’s all. Could you point me to the location of sdkbox.jar file that needs to be replaced? Thank you very much.

Depends on the version of cocos2d-x you’re using, here are the guide to locate it http://docs.sdkbox.com/en/plugins/sdkboxplay/v3-cpp/#copy-files

Also I would suggest check updates fron Unity Ads and Heyzap and see if there is update from them as well.

How long was your app published before they sent you that e-mail?
