Solution 1 (recommended): Upgrade the HMS Core SDK in app to
the latest version

Step 1 : Based on the development language or platform you use, Select an upgrade solution to update to the latest version:
 Java Project Upgrade (E.g. : Android Studio)

 React Native Project Upgrade

 Cordova Project Upgrade

 Ionic Project Upgrade (Ionic-Cordova, Ionic-Capacitor)

 Flutter Project Upgrade

Step 2 : Application Verification & Test.

Step 3 : Compile & Release.

Step 1 -- Java Project Upgrade (E.g. : Android Studio)

1. Check whether the HMS Core SDK listed in the following excel list are used in the app/build.gradle file. If yes, update to the latest HMS Core SDK version in
the list. For example:
HMS Core SDK
List

2. Synchronize projects in Android Studio, the system automatically downloads the SDK of the new version.
3. Add the processing of the error "The HMS Core is not installed on the device". When getting the error code
USER_ALREADY_KNOWS_SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE, CURRENT_SHOWING_SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE or CLIENT_API_INVALID, you can invoke the GMS interface
or directly skip based on app service logic:
• Invoke the GMS interface when the HMS Core APK is not installed :
public void silentSignIn() {
AccountAuthParams mAuthParam =
new AccountAuthParamsHelper(AccountAuthParams.DEFAULT_AUTH_REQUEST_PARAM).setAccessToken().createParams();
AccountAuthService mAuthManager = AccountAuthManager.getService(mActivity, mAuthParam);
Task<AuthAccount> taskSilentSignIn = mAuthManager.silentSignIn();
taskSilentSignIn.addOnSuccessListener(this::loginComplete);
taskSilentSignIn.addOnFailureListener(e -> {
if (e instanceof ApiException) {
ApiException apiException = (ApiException) e;
if((apiException.getStatusCode() == AvailableCode.USER_ALREADY_KNOWS_SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE)
||(apiException.getStatusCode() == AvailableCode.CURRENT_SHOWING_SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE)
||(apiException.getStatusCode() == CommonCode.ErrorCode.CLIENT_API_INVALID)) {

startActivityForResult(mAuthManager.getSignInIntent(), REQUEST_SIGN_IN_LOGIN_CODE);
}
@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if (requestCode == REQUEST_SIGN_IN_LOGIN) {
Task<AuthAccount> authAccountTask = AccountAuthManager.parseAuthResultFromIntent(data);
if (authAccountTask.isSuccessful()) {
// Success Processing
} else {
int errCode = ((ApiException) authAccountTask.getException()).getStatusCode();
if ((errCode == AvailableCode.USER_ALREADY_KNOWS_SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE)
|| (errCode == AvailableCode.CURRENT_SHOWING_SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE)
|| (errCode == CommonCode.ErrorCode.CLIENT_API_INVALID)) {
// There is no HMS Core APK on the phone, no need to handle.
} else {

 If you have a dedicated communication channel with Google ,we recommend use this channel first.

 Communication suggestions with Google, for your reference:

1. The communication with Google, which is about the Device & Network Abuse policy satisfaction of the new app, should be started after
the application is approved.
2. Suggestions for communication:
 The warning received date and the application information.
 Briefly explain the changes to solve the problem in the warning. Emphasize that the new version will not download and install apps
from non-Google Play channels.
 Ask Google to check whether the modified application complies with the Device & Network Abuse policy.

FAQ
Q: HMS Core APK 3.x has been installed on the phone, why I still receive error code USER_ALREADY_KNOWS_SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE (Value: 30)?
A: HMS Core APK 3.x doesn’t support auto-update. When HMS Core SDK find it is HMS Core APK 3.x, system will process in the same way as “HMS Core APK
doesn’t exist”, which will return error code USER_ALREADY_KNOWS_SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE(Value: 30) .

Q: On a mobile phone with HMS Core APK of an earlier version installed, why I still get the HMS Core upgrade popup even I have upgrade the HMS Core SDK
as requested?
A: When there is earlier version (but later than 4.0.0.300) of HMS Core APK installed, if HMS Core interface is invoked, HMS Core APK may start the upgrade. This
upgrade is triggered by HMS Core APK instead of the developer’s application.

FAQ
Q: Do I need to update Ads SDK?
A: Ads Lite SDK will not trigger the HMS Core APK download. If you integrate Ads Lite SDK, it is not needed to update SDK. However Ads Full SDK will trigger
application download. If you integrate Ads Full SDK, the SDK update is necessary. The new version of Ads full SDK is in preparation, which will be released soon.
If you integrate the SDK through com.huawei.hms:ads-lite:x.x.x.x, the Ads Lite SDK is integrated.
If you integrate the SDK through com.huawei.hms:ads:x.x.x.x, the Ads Full SDK is integrated.
