AdMob Mediation, AdColony and Proguard

[Michael Scamell]

Hello, 

I'm having issues with AdColony when using it in AdMob for mediation with a rewarded video. 

I'm using proguard and have added the necessary exclusion statements for AdMob and the specific ones for the AdColony SDK.

It looks like this (note it might be messy because i've added my own in attempts to solve this issue)

-keep class com.android.vending.billing.**

-keep class com.chartboost.** { *; }
-keep class com.immersion.** { *; }
-keep class jirbo.adcolony.** { *; }
-dontwarn com.immersion.**
-dontnote com.immersion.**

-dontwarn android.webkit.**

-keep class com.google.ads.mediation.admob.AdMobAdapter { *; }
-keep class com.google.ads.mediation.AdUrlAdapter { *; }
-keep class com.google.ads.** { *; }
-keep public @com.google.android.gms.common.util.DynamiteApi class * { *; }

-keepattributes Signature
-keepattributes *Annotation*

-keep class com.google.ads.mediation.chartboost

This is the error i'm getting in the logs

When not using proguard the adcolony adverts load fine. Unfortunately i don't want to release a build without proguard as i have some in-app purchases so I don't want this code to be easily decompiled.

Any advice? Thanks.

Hi Michael,

Could you try changing the -keep class jirbo.adcolony.** {*;} line in your ProGuard to -keep class com.jirbo.adcolony.**{*;}? Just wanted to make sure the entire package name is included so it is properly kept.

That worked!

Thank you so much. I've been banging my head against a wall trying to get it sorted! It might be worth adding that somewhere so others don't get caught out like i did.

Mike

Thanks,

Hi Mike,

Glad it worked! I'll pass your feedback on to the team to note that in our public docs.
