App crashes when InterstitialAd is loaded

[swifter]

I use Unity Native ads- and using  native ads build of the Google Mobile Ads.

When installing Unity Ads- mediation the app crashes!!!

The only way to fix it is to change the gradle file   implementation 'com.google.ads.mediation:unity:3.7.2.0'

From 3.7.2.0 to 3.6.0.0  so it can support the old Google Mobile Ads sdk.

The native ads SDK installs play-services-ads:19.5.0 which is old and doesn't support new SDKS!!!

  (  implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:19.5.0')

The problem seems to be caused by play-services-ads version 20, which moves the InterstitialAd class to the namespace "com.google.android.gms.ads.interstitial" (previously it was in namespace "com.google.android.gms.ads").

What should I do?????

Thank you, you don't need app id or ad unit ID, as this is simply an issue with your SDK and the namespace change.

It's because play-services-ads:19.5.0 doesn't work with   'com.google.ads.mediation:unity:3.7.2.0', 

If you have these on your gradle file you'll also have an error when loading InterstitialAd :

    implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:19.5.0' // Assets/GoogleMobileAds/Editor/GoogleMobileAdsDependencies.xml:7

    implementation 'com.google.ads.mediation:unity:3.7.2.0' // Assets/GoogleMobileAds/Editor/UnityMediationDependencies.xml:8

Error-

Error AndroidRuntime java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Failed resolution of: Lcom/google/android/gms/ads/InterstitialAd;

Error AndroidRuntime Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Didn't find class "com.google.android.gms.ads.InterstitialAd" on path: DexPathList[[zip file "/system/framework/org.apache.http.legacy.boot.jar",

Hi Swifter,

Thank you for responding back. We would ask if you can send us a simple sample app with your implementation of the SDK so that we can look at it and test it. As well as the steps that you are seeing that are causing the issue. We do ask for the App id and Ad Unit id so as to make sure that we are working on the environment and under the same conditions as you are. Also if you have Charles logs of the crash this can also help us. At the same time we also ask if you have tested with our sample app?

Your sample app tests Google Mobile Ads SDK,  but I don't use it, I use- the native ads build (https://dl.google.com/googleadmobadssdk/GoogleMobileAds-native.unitypackage)

If you install the native ads build it will add     implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:19.5.0' which is OLD and doesn't support new mediation SDKs
The error says-  Didn't find class "com.google.android.gms.ads.InterstitialAd" on path: DexPathList

and it happens because you changed the class name

It's because play-services-ads:19.5.0 doesn't work with   'com.google.ads.mediation:unity:3.7.2.0', 

If you have these on your gradle file you'll also have an error when loading InterstitialAd :

    implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:19.5.0' // Assets/GoogleMobileAds/Editor/GoogleMobileAdsDependencies.xml:7

    implementation 'com.google.ads.mediation:unity:3.7.2.0' // Assets/GoogleMobileAds/Editor/UnityMediationDependencies.xml:8

Here is the crash log-

Do you know how long will it take?  Because I had another issue before, and you also wrote "further investigation" and no one ever contacted me again...

The release notes to sent are not for Mobile-Ads-Native-Unity.... that's the problem. I don't even know which version I have. Where are the release notes for the native version??

Hi Everyone,

Thank you for the response back to us. Can you give us some more context as well as which github link you are referring to? You are saying now a separate stage of the update resource is available?
