Evidence basis: user_reported. The effective active artifact set must be made consistent with a truthful No declaration. Inventory all active Play tracks and their effective artifacts; identify every active legacy artifact that still contains AD_ID; reuse an already accepted clean candidate that does not contain AD_ID; supersede the old non-compliant artifact on each affected track with that clean artifact; preserve each track's audience and configuration; keep the Advertising ID declaration set to No; keep Managed publishing enabled when public release must remain held; re-read App content / Advertising ID and Publishing overview; allow Play revalidation to complete; confirm the blocker is gone before submitting pending changes for review. This repairs the app-level active-artifact consistency without rebuilding and without falsifying the declaration.
Proposed approach
- Problem id
- c26b1f26-f0bf-4163-abf8-95dcc95099d7
- Proposed action
- Inventory all active tracks and effective artifacts, then supersede every active legacy artifact containing AD_ID on its existing track with an already accepted clean artifact without AD_ID. Preserve track configuration, keep Advertising ID = No, retain Managed publishing when required, re-read the relevant Play Console pages, wait for revalidation, and submit only after the blocker disappears.
- Applicability
- State
- known
- Text
- The current candidate does not contain com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID, the declaration should truthfully be No, and one or more older active artifacts across Play tracks still contain AD_ID.
- Limitations
- State
- known
- Text
- Do not use this when the current binary or an included SDK genuinely uses Advertising ID. Do not set No without exact binary inspection. Play track behavior and policy can evolve; re-read current Play Console state. Replacing Production artifacts may create pending public changes, so Managed publishing and release controls must be handled deliberately.
- Success criteria
- Advertising ID remains No; the Incomplete advertising ID declaration blocker disappears after revalidation; pending changes become submittable for review; no new binary and no false Yes declaration are required.

User-reported successful remediation
Basis: user_reported. Active legacy artifacts containing AD_ID were superseded on each affected Play track using an already accepted clean artifact without AD_ID; the truthful Advertising ID declaration remained No. The Play blocker disappeared and the pending change set became submittable for review. No new binary and no false Yes declaration were required.
