Unity App Crashes due to Admob plugin

[Ahil Eswaran]

I had successfully intergrated admob into my app and had released my app with ads running perfectly. However after a few days  the  app started to crash when started. I tried to remove the plugin and building it without ads and it worked, however when i try reimporting the plugin and i try building it gives me errors like unable to convert classes to de format or it just crahses. After many attempts i got the game to pop up but when the gameover screen is loaded with interstitial ads it crashes without the scene popping. The game only crashes in Android 5.0 and works fabulously in Android 4.4

Using Unity 5.0

interstitial ads script

using System.Collections;

using System;

using UnityEngine;

using GoogleMobileAds;

using GoogleMobileAds.Api;

// Example script showing how to invoke the Google Mobile Ads Unity plugin.

public class GoogleMobileAdsDemoScript : MonoBehaviour

{

InterstitialAd interstitial;

void Start () {

//---- Interstitial Ad -----

// Initialize an InterstitialAd.

// Put your admob interstitial ad id here:

interstitial = new InterstitialAd("ca-app-pub-5231647176770223/1182412990");

//Add callback for when ad is loaded

interstitial.AdLoaded += HandleAdLoaded;

// Create an ad request.

AdRequest requestInterstitial = new AdRequest.Builder().Build();

// Load the interstitial with the request.

interstitial.LoadAd(requestInterstitial);

}

public void HandleAdLoaded(object sender, EventArgs args) {

interstitial.Show ();

}

void OnDestroy(){

if (interstitial!=null) {

interstitial.AdLoaded -= HandleAdLoaded;

interstitial.Destroy ();

}

}

}

Tried this script to but also crashed

using UnityEngine;

using System.Collections;

using GoogleMobileAds;

using GoogleMobileAds.Api;

public class GoogleMobileAdsInt : MonoBehaviour {

private InterstitialAd interstitial;

private void RequestInterstitial()

{

#if UNITY_EDITOR

string adUnitId = "unused";

#elif UNITY_ANDROID

string adUnitId = "ca-app-pub-2455861829005131/1839047605";

#elif UNITY_IPHONE

string adUnitId = "INSERT_IOS_INTERSTITIAL_AD_UNIT_ID_HERE";

#else

string adUnitId = "unexpected_platform";

#endif

// Create an interstitial.

interstitial = new InterstitialAd(adUnitId);

interstitial.LoadAd(RequestInterstitial);

}

private void ShowInterstitial()

{

if (interstitial.IsLoaded())

{

interstitial.Show();

}

else

{

print("Interstitial is not ready yet.");

}

}

}

It's difficult to know exactly where the issue lies without some kind of crash information.  Can you post your logcat output when the crash takes place (and for the preceding few minutes)?

Hi this is my logcat (ADB using CMD) from start of the app to the crash, the app lasted for about 15-20 seconds. I'm not sure what the issue is. Please Help me

Hmm.  Our SDK uses "Ads" as its log tag, and I don't see any lines with that tag in what you've posted.  Is the application actually executing any of the Mobile Ads SDK methods? What happens if you temporarily comment them out?

The banner ad seems to be loaded and works normally however when i get to the gameover screen where the interstitial is supposed to be loaded the app crashes.

I don't actually see the line that would write "HandleAdLoaded event received" to the logs in your source. Have you changed the code since your original post?

Okay, in that case, I would fall back to my earlier suggestion and comment out all the AdMob loading/displaying code and add it back one line at a time, seeing at what point things begin to break.  Also, I notice that the first of the two scripts you posted is calling the Show() method of the interstitial inside the onAdLoaded handler, which is not the correct thing to do.  Interstitials should be displayed when the application has reached a natural pause in the action, which isn't likely to have happened exactly when the ad finishes loading.
