google mobile ads initialization errors

[James Berger]

Hi,

Hi my ads have been suspended for a content overlay issue. I have fixed the issue and I have recompiled my app. I have also downloaded the google mobile ads unity plugin v5.0.1 and ran the Play services resolver too. Attached is the error I am getting when I run my app with abd logcat debugger running. Is there any suggestions of how to fix this issue? I would assume it doesn't have anything to do with the fact that my ads are still currently suspended does it?

Best,

James

Hi James,

 

Thank you for reaching out to us.

 

Upon investigation, this does seem less like an policy-related issue, and more of a build-related one. There might be some code stripping happening on the Unity side that might be causing this issue. With that said, could you confirm if you are in fact using any code stripping at all inside Unity (Player Settings -> Other Settings -> Optimization -> Managed Stripping Level)? See stripping_level screenshot. If so, then you may try setting the stripping level to Disabled instead and see if that fixes the issue.

 

Alternatively, could you check if you are Minifying your Unity code (Player Settings -> Publishing Settings -> Minify)? See proguard screenshot. If so, then you will have to check the ProGuard option (Player Settings -> Publishing Settings -> Build -> User Proguard File) and force the compiler to retain the AdMob SDK classes in the final build. You may check this link for further details. Specifically, you may put these lines in the ProGuard file:

-keep public class com.google.android.gms.ads.**{

public *;

}

 

Lastly, you may try exporting your project over to Android Studio instead and build from there to see if it would fix the issue (Build Settings -> Export Project).

It was the proguard setting that was the issue. Thanks for the help!
