[Other] WARNING: Google Play Services is missing.

Also later in logs before [Other] LAUNCH-6: preparing data, it logs the line [Other] No OAID library.

Please provide any other relevant information.

When I add implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads-identifier:18.0.1' to my app's build.gradle I don't see this error anymore, but it's not mentioned anywhere in the appsflyer docs or the example project.

Also by adding this dependency, [Other] No OAID library is still logged.

I don't understand, is this dependency needed and makes a difference? Or is this error OK?

I also encountered this problem. Is this necessary to add 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads-identifier:18.0.1'?
