MobileAds.initialize causes much more ANRs.

[griffith100...@gmail.com]

Can MobileAds.initialize be called on a worker thread to prevent from the following ANR?

Or initialize must be called on the Main thread?

FYI

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out to us and providing helpful information.

As per this guide, please note that all calls to the Mobile Ads SDK such as the MobileAds.initialize() should be executed on the main thread and not in the background or worker thread.

In addition, I've tested this on my end and run the initialize() method on the main thread but I didn't encounter any ANRs. Could you try our sample apps and see if you still experience same issue?

Regards,

Steven Balan

Mobile Ads SDK Team

[griffith100...@gmail.com]

Hi,

Thank you for the reply!

Umm,,,"not in the background or worker thread."...OK.

Could you try our sample apps and see if you still experience same issue?

To my regret, ANRs cause on user's devices. (not on my device.)

So I cannot reproduce the problem.

Sincerely yours,

Mitsuaki

Hi Mitsuaki,

Since you can't replicate this issue on your end, for further investigation, could you provide the following privately using the Reply privately to author option?

• If available, Crashlytics or other crash reporting logs.
• List of the devices that are affected by this issue aside from the Asus ZenPad that you've mentioned.

[I.D.E.]

I've also seen this issue a lot, over several years. It's detected by the ANR WatchDog library: https://github.com/SalomonBrys/ANR-WatchDog

It happens mostly on Android 4.x, and less often on Android 5.x, then 6.x.

It's noticeable on low-end devices, when the app stutters or becomes slightly unresponsive whilst the ad is being loaded.

It's mentioned here too: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/google-admob-ads-sdk/Hi6AQVhwfE8/zJmXU9oXCAAJ  -- but I've tracked delays larger than 1.5 seconds.

[griffith100...@gmail.com]

Hi Steven,

Yesterday, I sent the logs (stack trace) with device lists.

Did you see it?

Sincerely yours,

Mitsuaki

Hi there,

Thanks for providing logs and other helpful information privately.

I will raise this to the rest of the team and update this thread for any official feedback.

Hi there.

Is there any news about this?

I am aware that the error is being investigated but more and more threads of users with the same problem appear in the group.
The biggest drawback of this error is that it is affecting too much the KPIs ​​of "Android Vitals", also to have the right KPIs ​​again, you have to wait 60 days since the problem is solved (Android Vitals takes the last 60 days reports).

Is there anything we could do to help solving this?

Thanks in advance

[mobileadssdk-a...@google.com]

Hi Juan,

Our team is investigating the issue. But can you please confirm that you are seeing the issue on the latest version of SDK? I will also make sure to update you via this thread as soon as I have any new information from the team.

Updated to the last version (3.15.0) and still getting the same ANRs. It's very frustrating :( We are thinking about replacing AdMob with UnityAds although the eCPM is lower, we can't reach the 99.9% free of ANRs with this problem

[mobileadssdk-a...@google.com]

Hi Juan,

The issue has been fixed with the latest release. But, we have still got reports from few publishers who are seeing the issue with the latest plugin. I've already shared this with the team for further investigation. But, however, can you please share the latest logs to share with the team?

Hi, I know it just been 8 days since my last message but, any news with this? My publisher insists on fix this problem and I can't provide any solution. Anyone knows a previous build without this error? If there is a chance to downgrade the library to avoid this error I would do it right now!

[Sleepers Tang]

I guess the problem is that I load interstitial and reward video ads at the same time (ie. in consecutive line of code).

 My work around is separate those two functions in different frames (since my app is a game, which is delay execution in 16ms), and the ANR walks away. 

pesudo-code:

    -- main thread,

    -- bla bla,

       

       load_intersitial_ads();

      execute_in_next_frame( function() {

           load_reward_video_ads();

      });

Hope this could save your day, :)

[Giru bhai]

==========

Any solution ? how to call MobileAds.initialize function.

[Mobile Ads SDK Forum Advisor Prod]

Hi Giru,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

This seems to be more of a concern with Android WebView than with the AdMob SDK, judging by the stack trace (i.e. WebView occupies the few latest lines in the trace). Could you kindly try the following to see if it would alleviate the issue?

WebView webView = new WebView(this);
MobileAds.initialize(...);

Thanks for your prompt response.

But in stacktrace MobileAds.initialize also appear.

And any reason to using 

WebView webView = new WebView(this); 

before MobileAds.initialize(...);

[Mobile Ads SDK Forum Advisor Prod]

Hi Giru,

To clarify, the AdMob SDK initializes WebView for ad-displaying purposes and, as per the stack trace you provided, it is WebView that is causing the ANR, not AdMob. The code snippet I provided should initialize WebView separately from AdMob, which should help in determining whether it is was WebView or AdMob that was truly causing the ANRs.
 

[Giru bhai]

Ok, thanks for the clarification. 

Will give it a try and let u know.

Hi,

I just updated the app on Google Play with AdMob v.20.1.0

The app started to produce a huge amount of ANRs.

I'm thinking to rollback to v.19.8.0 which has no bugs (ANRs).

I can't reproduce it on my devices, but I see at Google Developer Console that problem related to:

1. Android 11.

2. A lot of Samsung devices.

3.  AdMob v.20.1.0.

ANRs started from sdk initialization at MobileAds.initialize and related to WebView.

Hi, I have responded to this information via email, but I have not received any message or recommendation on what to do.

Please help, how to reduce ANR for apps?

This graph shows that after update to AdMob v.20.1.0 amount of ANRs started to grow up.

[Mobile Ads SDK Forum Advisor Prod]

Hi Oleg,

Thank you for providing additional information to us.

Upon checking, we received reports from other publishers which seems to be the same issue as this one.  However, this issue seems to be a result of WebView.init() rather than the MobileAds.initialize(). As suggestion by the team, could you please try running the following code snippet and see if that would solve the issue on your end?

WebView webView = new WebView(this);
MobileAds.initialize(...);
