Using Unity's built-in Play Asset Delivery integration  together with Play Core libraries 2.0.0+ (https://developer.android.com/reference/com/google/android/play/core/release-notes) error appears:

The root cause is that in the latest versions of PlayCore APIs included breaking changes to the Task system, which would require a
migration process (https://developer.android.com/guide/playcore#common_migration_steps) on the wrapper side. Since Unity's own AssetPackManagerWrapper implementation is still based on pre-2.0.0 Play Core APIs, we would see NoSuchMethodErrors on all the Task related methods."
