[Mobile Ads SDK Forum Advisor]

Hi Anan,

Thank you for reporting this, I raised this with my team and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

Being that ANRs are especially hard to track down and that WebView is beyond the scope of the Mobile Ads SDK and may have been the cause of this, could you privately send us any of the following to help narrow down the cause:

• minimally modified sample project that can reliably reproduce this ANR
• any steps to take that can bring this ANR on
• any version numbers from SDK, gradle file, chrome version etc that are involved in the ANR
• Crashlytics data on devices that this happens on 
• anything you can find out from troubleshooting using ANRs guide

Regards,

Aryeh Mobile Ads SDK Team

Hi,

I hope you're doing well.

I just want to circle back with regard to the crashes that you're encountering with ANR, our team suggested to try out Optimize initialization and ad loading guide with com.google.android.gms.ads.flag.OPTIMIZE_INITIALIZATION turned on.  Feel free to reach out to us if you still encountering this.

Regards,

Mobile Ads SDK Team
