preferExternal Android Manifest setting

Question

I had a recent app rejected due to the fact that I had a setting called preferExternal set in the AndroidManifest.

Does anyone have suggestions of how to remove this entry ? I tried editing the xml from within the apk but it looked like a binary file.

The way you are supposed to edit the manifest is by adding your own AndroidManifest.xml to "Plugins/Android/AndroidManifest.xml" in your project, and that one will get included instead of the default.

You can find the default template at "C:\Program Files\Unity\Editor\Data\PlaybackEngines\androidplayer\AndroidManifest.xml" or whatever your equivalent directory for your Unity install is.

The help page for this crap is here: http://unity3d.com/support/documentation/Manual/Plugins.html (but the manifest bits are all buried and hard to find)

In Android section you have:

Install Location Specifies application install location on the device (for detailed information, please refer to http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/install-location.html).

Automatic: Let OS decide. User will be able to move the app back and forth.

Prefer External: Install app to external storage (SD-Card) if possible. OS does not guarantee that will be possible; if not, the app will be installed to internal memory.

Force Internal: Force app to be installed into internal memory. User will be unable to move the app to external storage.
