My developer console shows a couple of new crashes related to AdMob:

Thanks for posting your stacktrace. It looks very similar to the ones reported in another forum thread. We've released a fix for that problem, and it'll take about a week for all the devices in use to invalidate their caches and update. If you're still seeing this issue after that, please let us know.
