Hi, 

Thank you for contacting the Mobile Ads SDK support team.

By reviewing your concern, I understand that you are facing an “unexpected element <property> found in <manifest>” error while implementing the Mobile Ads SDK in your android application.it appears that the issue is nothing related to Mobile Ads SDK. Can you please confirm whether you are able to reproduce the same error in google sample project.

 

This message is in relation to case "ref:!00D1U01174p.!5004Q02pTvD3:ref"

Thanks,

I also encountered the same problem here.
What I use is:
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:22.4.0'

I checked the SDK and found that play-services-ads:22.4.0 depends on play-services-ads-lite:22.4.0, and play-services-ads-lite:22.4.0 is relative to play-services-ads-lite :22.3.0, added in the AndroidManifest.xml file:
         <property
             android:name="android.adservices.AD_SERVICES_CONFIG"
             android:resource="@xml/gma_ad_services_config" />

"property" cannot be recognized in lower versions of gradle plugin (for example: com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.0.2), so an error is reported.

Due to project reasons, we cannot upgrade the gradle plugin version.

So the question now is is com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads-lite:22.4.0 maintained by you? How to solve this problem?

Hi,

Thank you for getting back to us.

Upon reviewing your concern you are facing an issue with dependencies. Please follow the below steps:

To integrate Google Mobile Ads SDK to add the below dependency

dependencies

{

 implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:22.4.0'

}

Please follow this link for a sample project.

To integrate Google Mobile Ads Lite SDK to add the below dependency

dependencies

{
    implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads-lite:22.4.0'

}

The Google Mobile Ads Lite SDK is a lightweight version of the Google Mobile Ads SDK, using the Lite SDK decreases the total number of methods referenced in an app.

Please reach out to us, if you need any further assistance.

Would it be possible to add this dependency override on Unity projects? we are bonded to the gradle plugin version 4.0.1
