SDK Google Mobile Ads for Android

[Misst Laurent]

Taking an existing mobile application, developed with Ionic, how can I make sure I used the version of the Google Mobile Ads SDK on Android?

The plugin installed for Admob uses (I think) dependence on Google Play Services so the version shown in the plugin.xml would 5.0.87. I need confirmation in order not to have to do the update requested before 17 October 2016.

Could you help me check this version?

Hello,

There are several ways to go about determining the version of the Mobile Ads SDK (formerly AdMob) that is integrated into your app.  Here are some:

• Proxy your network traffic and check the "sdk" parameter in the ad request URL.  For example, an implementation compiled against Google Play services v9.4.0 might look like this:

• Check if you have the @integer/google_play_services_version integer in your Manifest.  
• See if your import statements use com.google.android.gms.ads.  If so, you are on Play services and do not need to worry about the deprecation.

Thanks for your reponse !

I don't know how "proxy my network traffic" on app develop with ionic Framework ?

Otherwise I found the following line in AndroidManifest.xml : <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version" android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />.

And for the third "method", I found com.google.android.gms.ads.AdActivity in AndroidManifest.xml and other file, import com.google.android.gms.ads.* in /cordova/plugin/AdMob.java

Should I worry me the deprecation ?

Thank you again for your help !

Hello,

You are importing from com.google.android.gms.ads, so you are fine.  No worry about the deprecation.

If you are curious, you can use tools like Charles to proxy the network traffic.  When your app makes an ad request and displays the ad, Charles will pick up the network packages.  Look for the URL I gave you, and check the SDK version number included in the network call.
