Sharp rise of reports after update com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads 15.0.1 -> 17.0.0
A lot of crashes from crashlytics, but I can't reproduce

Same error here but its ranges from sdk version com.google.firebase:firebase-ads:15.0.1 to 11.4.2 on android os version 6 to 7.x
and started coming in last 2 weeks.

is it fixed in new update? And even if it is fixed in new sdk version, how will it fix crashes on our previously published builds.

I confirm this bug has enormously rised in the last days, and is causing crashes to thousands of users. Any workarounds, while waiting for the final fix, would be greatly appreciated.

They mentioned about version 17.1.0 has been released in their release note but nothing available yet in any repository. I think downgrading to previous stable version 15.0.0 is only workarounds as of now.

I'm still on com.google.android.gms:play-services-* version 15.0.1 and also have the same error reports. It all started on November 2nd. So downgrading won't help.

I get lots of these crashes since friday november 2th on both com.google.android.gms.play-services-ads-11.8.0 as in 17.0.0 in almost all of our apps (>20 different apps). Looks like something went wrong in the ad that is delivered and not in te app itself. Do we need to update to latest version of Play Services  and release updates to our apps for this fix to work? Or will it be fixed "server side" or in the delivered content so it will be fixed for previous versions as well?

I think the problem is with the latest release of Google Play Services, because I'm using 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:11.8.0' and have similar crashes.

Same here. Many exceptions appear in the Google Play Console. Please AdMob do something. I get a lot of negative ratings for a few days in my app.

Here too. getting bad ratings because of this. We disabled Admob interstitials for now (through our mediation provider) till we know this issue is fixed. Hopefully we don't need to update all of our apps to fix this... Probably not, we didn't update them to get the issue :(

Same issue for my apps too.
One app has 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:17.0.0' and my target api level is 27.
Another app has 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:15.0.1' and target api level is 19.
Both have lots of crashes of this type.

We deactivated video interstitials in the admob interface. Huge blow on the CPMs but hopefully would prevent the crash while Google comes up with a fix

I have a few old apps that I haven't bothered to update to targetSDK 26 yet (they have a target of 24). None of these have this issue, while all my apps that have a target of 26 are getting hit by this. Obviously, you can't downgrade to below 26 because Google Play won't let you, but has anyone tried targetting 28? I see some 27's are getting hit, but I didn't see a target of 28. I know I'm grasping at straws with the hope of that working since it's probably an issue with anything targetting 26+. I haven't targetted 28 yet because it's too new for my taste and I'm afraid of bugs. :)

Oh, just noticed that my ad version on those old apps are also a little different. The working ones use 'com.google.firebase:firebase-ads:11.0.4' with a targetsdk of 24, while my buggy 26 sdk targetted versions use the slightly different 'com.google.firebase:firebase-ads:11.4.2'. So I guess it could again be the ad version, but I don't think you'll be able to downgrade to 11.0.4 if you're targetting 26+.

@ Deepika, Thanks for keeping us posted.  Please urge them to hurry. This can really hurt our business.  We have seen our crash rate increase by over 300%  because of this and there is nothing we can do about it. Even stopping to serve Admob interstitials doesn't seem to fix the problem for us. So we are starting to get a bit desperate..

@ Michel, did deactivating Video ads in the Admob console solve the issue for you?

We're seeing this issue for smart banner ads. This coupled with another admob bug that causes idle battery drain (https://www.reddit.com/r/androiddev/comments/9u6z64/psa_admob_is_causing_high_idle_cpu_usage_issue/) means we had to disable all admob advertising.

Today version 17.1.0 has been deployed on Google's Maven repository.  Above issue has been resolved in this release or issue is not related to version of Admob ??

Hi,

We received an e-mail from Google Play which says "In a recent review of your account, our systems have detected interstitial ads showing outside of the app environment for your application Please note that this is a violation of Google Play and AdMob policies." 

I think that they sent us this e-mail because of these crashes. Does anyone else have the same problem?

According to Google Play Console, I haven't had this crash for over 9 hours and I'm using 15.0.0. Before I was seeing pretty frequent crashes, so maybe it got fixed "server side"? Fingers crossed!

@Abhishek Aryan I was getting these ad-related crashes for the last few days on a constant basis, but about 12 hours ago, they stopped happening and I haven't updated my AdMob SDK, so I was hoping this was fixed on the "server side". I wonder if other developers have continued to see crashes recently. I don't know if the bug really is fixed or if there's a delay on crash reporting, or if I'm just getting lucky right now, etc.

I can also confirm that no longer see these crashes from August 7 (I use Smart Banners only in my apps). Thank you AdMob. I wonder what was the reason for these crashes.

Thanks for reaching out to us. Can you please provide more crash logs/crashlytics link for our investigation? Are you able to reproduce the issue locally? If yes, can you provide us the steps to reproduce the issue? What is the frequency of these crashes? Are you seeing these with any specific Ad type ? Can you please update the SDK to the latest version and see if you are still seeing these crashes?
