I follow the quick start guide to integrate AdMob to a fresh new android studio project. I can't see the test ads and got error:"GooglePlayServicesUtil: Cannot find Google Play services package name." when I run this project on my device.Detail error as follow:

When I run the downloaded sample code, the error still exists.

Does anyone has any idea to solve this issue? or can anyone give me some tint about this error?

Best,

Does AdMob need Google Play services support in product? I am a Chinese, and most of our android devices does not install the Google play service. So how can I display ads from AdMob in China market?

Hi Wenjing,

The SDK can certainly run on devices that do not have a local Google Play services version installed. In that case, the SDK will use the version that it is compiled against when you are building the APK.

Could you let us know more details, including the following?

Do you have Google Play services downloaded with your Android SDK? You can check via Android Studio's SDK Manager to confirm this. If Google Play services is downloaded, what is the version number?
Which of our samples were you using? The latest example is using Firebase (com.google.firebase:firebase-ads:9.0.0) versus Google Play services (com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:9.0.0). Check out the Firebase dependency option and let us know if that helps.

Dear Chau,

1. I installed the Google Play services "Google Play services,rev 30".

2. I follow the sample and use "compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:9.0.1'"

When I install the Google Play service and Google Play store, Ads will show. If I uninstall either of them, the Ads don't show.

The sample dependency is :dependencies {

    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.4.0'
    compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-ads:9.0.0'
}

apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

Hi Wenjing,

The SDK should still be able to serve ads on devices that do not have a local copy of Google Play services.

Would you confirm if adding the following ProGuard rule rectify the issue?

-keep public @com.google.android.gms.common.util.DynamiteApi class * { *; }

There was a known bug in the 9.0.0 release where ProGuard would strip away portion of the SDK that contains Google Play services.

Hi Chau,

I add the following sentence to my "proguard-rules.pro" .

-keep public @com.google.android.gms.common.util.DynamiteApi class * { *; }

Then I uninstall the Google Play store and run the sample code. I got errors as follows: it tell me it can't find the "Google Play store" rather than "can't find package name". It's an progress but still not work as you said. Can you help me find further question?
