getting GMASDK's version number

[Eric Slosser]

The methods described in this blog don't seem to apply to Swift code using GMA-SDK.

I see that the GMA-SDK has

FOUNDATION_EXPORT const unsigned char GoogleMobileAdsVersionString[];

But when I try to use that in the simplest possible Swift:

let foo = GoogleMobileAdsVersionString

I’m told

Cannot reference invalid declaration 'GoogleMobileAdsVersionString'

I wrote this ObjectiveC

const unsigned char* foo(void) {return GoogleMobileAdsVersionString; }

and can use it from the Swift side with

  if let a = foo() {
     let b = String(cString: a)
   }

  and can get "afma-sdk-i-v10.3.0", but that smacks of the internal version number that the blog referenced.

What am I missing?

The answer from support: The blog post is Android-specific. For iOS, use "sdkVersion". 

In Swift, that's `GADMobileAds.sharedInstance().sdkVersion`. 

It returns "afma-sdk-i-v10.3.0".  Same as my ObjC bridging method, but without the effort.

Hi Eric,

I could see that you already have a discussion on different email thread. With that, we would recommend to continue the discussion there instead for better tracking of the issues.
