Dynamite measurement and firebase keeps running even though it's delayed/disabled

[andro...@gmail.com]

In all my apps that use AdMob, firebase and dynamite keeps running in background constantly even though I don't use any of them.

They keep running even if user doesn't give consent to use its data!

Each time an ad is shown/requested I can see those in logs:

Hi there,

Thank you for reporting this. Would it be possible for you to provide the following details via Reply privately to author option? This will greatly help us in identifying the issue.

• Instruments and screencast recording of the behavior
• Sample project where the issue is reproducible

Thanks for responding.

However, I don't see the point of providing screencast to show repetitive logs.

I don't have the time nor the luxury to build a project on something that you can reproduce on your end very easily.

Here are some steps should you not know how to create an ads project:

1- Create a project in AS with a default blank activity

2- Add an AdView and add code the show a banner ad.

3- Disable any user-consent (eg like user refused to share data)

4- Run the project and check logs.

This happens since AdMob forced-integrated firebase and this dynamite package, that not only generates errors constantly but crash apps far too frequently. Apps that do not use firebase nor dynamite.

Hi 3c,

Thank you for responding back. We ask for this so that we can look at and test out how you implement the required SDK's. We would want to see how you have all the items required to make this work setup, as well as any additional libraries or frameworks that you might have included in your project. The reason for the screencast is so we can see what exactly is happening. Without us being able to reliably reproduce the issue it would be hard to evaluate.

Simply use your own samples, I installed interestitials sample after changing ads/publisher ids, and all errors mentioned in OP showed in logs.

Hi there,

I'm still wasn't able to reproduce the behavior on my end. Could you kindly provide your full build.gradle so we could check? Also, could you please downgrade your consent library to 1.0.6, then let me know how it goes?

Really, you're now pretending to have tested this! Poorest support ever.

Why don't you read my posts? eg take your own interstitial sample and look at the build.gradle, update it as required, no consent lib though and I reproduced instantly on Android 11 and 9.

Don't both replying unless you've fixed this, otherwise it's just total disrespect.
