Hi Piergiorgio,

Since this is PhoneGap, I would not be able to support you. However, one quick way to know your GMS version would be to run Charles Proxy and record a session while an AdRequest happens. The request in Charles would record the GMS version.

Thanks, with charles proxy i see this 2 connect:

-https://googleads.g.doubleclick.net

-https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com

but i didnt find anything about the GMS version, can you please tell me what i must check inside charles?

Thank you for the help

Hi Piergiorgio,

Can you attach your Charles session with us? Make sure that in your SSL Proxying Settings, you have Host: * and Port: *. Send us a session when you are making the AdRequest.

Here is my Charles session, i noticed that when i activated ssl proxying i only get the "https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com" connection.
I aslo noticed this string at the end of the user agent: "afma-sdk-a-v9452440.8487000.2", maybe mean im using sdk 9.4?

Hi Piergiorgio,

It looks like it has not properly recorded the AdRequest. Can you instead link me to your app(s)? I have also attached a screenshot on where you can look for your version when the SDK makes an AdRequest.

Sure, this is our app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.pgpsoftware.bimby1

Thanks again for the support

Hi Piergiorgio,

The linked app seems to be running on Play Services v 9.4, which is the latest. It was even updated in PlayStore in this July. I do not see any issue with your app being affected by the deprecation.

Ok, thanks alot for the support!

One more thing just to be extra sure: can you confirm me that the admob deprecation issue dosen't involve the iOS version but only the andorid one?

Hi Piergiorgio,

This again is correct. The current deprecation is only for the standalone Android versions.
