In this post we are going to discuss about common issues related to react native and with the title of “How To Solve Your app targets Android 13 (API 33) or above, You must declare the use of advertising ID in Play Console”

So let’s start the post.

Short Solution –

To resolve this issue, follow these two steps:

1. Add the com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID permission to the AndroidManifest.xml file.
2. In your Google Play Console, choose the app you’re trying to upload. On the left, navigate to Policy and Programs -> App Content, then go to the Actioned tab. Scroll down to locate the Advertising ID section and complete the form by clicking the Manage button on the right.

Since you’ve already completed step 1, proceed with step 2 and re-upload your app.

Detailed Explanation –

Error Msg –

Your app targets Android 13 (API 33) or above. You must declare the use of advertising ID in Play Console.: {
    "error": {
        "code": 400,
        "message": "Your app targets Android 13 (API 33) or above. You must declare the use of advertising ID in Play Console.",
        "status": "INVALID_ARGUMENT"
    }
}

Advertising ID Error –

When submitting an application to the Google Play Store, you may encounter an “Advertisement ID Error.” This error occurs if your app does not actually contain advertisements, but you have mistakenly indicated that it does, or if your app does contain ads, but you failed to correctly declare or provide complete information about the advertisement IDs in the Google Play Store submission.

What Happens When You Face the Error?

When you encounter this error, you must submit a new version of your application with the advertisement ID properly included, accurately declared, and with all necessary information provided in the store listing.

How Do I Ensure This Error Doesn’t Occur?

To prevent this error, ensure that you provide accurate and comprehensive information about advertising IDs in your store listing. Clearly state whether your app contains ads, specify the type of ads (such as in-app purchases or other types), and provide all relevant details. If your app does not include any ads, this should also be explicitly declared in the store listing.

How to fix this issue?

STEP 1 –

In your Google Developer Console, navigate to the App Content section

STEP 2 –

If your app doesn’t contain advertisements, you should simply mark ‘No’.

If your app contain advertisements, you should simply mark ‘Yes’.
