SDK 6.0.0 verifyError, maybe proguard.cfg issue

[Roberto Conde Ojeda]

I was giving a try to the new SDK (6.0.0), but an error ocurred while testing on a 1.6 avd.

It only ocurred when making the application package and installing, not when debugging directly, so could it be a proguard.cfg issue?

It didn't happen on SDK 4.3.1.

This is my proguard.cfg:

-optimizationpasses 5
-dontusemixedcaseclassnames
-dontskipnonpubliclibraryclasses
-dontpreverify
-verbose
-optimizations !code/simplification/arithmetic,!field/*,!class/merging/*
-keep public class * extends android.app.Activity
-keep public class * extends android.app.Application
-keep public class * extends android.app.Service
-keep public class * extends android.content.BroadcastReceiver
-keep public class * extends android.content.ContentProvider
-keep public class com.android.vending.licensing.ILicensingService
-keepclasseswithmembers class * {
    native <methods>;
}
-keepclasseswithmembers class * {
    public <init>(android.content.Context, android.util.AttributeSet);
}
-keepclasseswithmembers class * {
    public <init>(android.content.Context, android.util.AttributeSet, int);
}

}

Hi Roberto,

I had the same problem and overcame it by adding the following:

-keep class com.google.ads.**

This really needs to be documented by the SDK team as it's not at all obvious until you package the app up and deploy to a (pre 2.0?) device.

Chris.

[Roberto Conde Ojeda]

Thank you! I will try it in the next update!

Your correct Roberto.

Add -keep class com.google.ads.** to your proguard.cfg file.

This really should have been flagged up by the Admob team as it's not
apparent until you create a package for release. There is nothing in
the documentation about this.

Hi,

I added this line.

-keep class com.google.ads.**

It works with "standard" ads, but it doesn't works with mediation ads:

W/Ads(14836): No server options fields detected. To suppress this message either add a field with the @Parameter annotation, or override the load() method
W/Ads(14836): Unexpected Server Option: pubid = '...'

For the test, I just use 2 networks:

AdMob house Ads

Admob Network

I don't find solution. Any ideas ?

Its the same here, I get mediation to work in emulator (with Adfonic and MobFox) but the signed app do not show any apps on my phone.
I have the same errors in the Logs.

Best

It seems the mediation depends on some Annotations.

Adding the following proguard parameter worked for me:

-keepattributes *Annotation*
