Ok, I think removing this line: "GoogleMobileAds.Api.Mediation.AppLovin.AppLovin.Initialize();" fixes the issue.

I placed it after Google Mobile Ads initialization and it gives the error.
I just don't understand where it should be?

Hi Alex,

 

Thank you for your response.

 

I'm glad to know that everything is working fine now. Can you confirm where you've found this (GoogleMobileAds.Api.Mediation.AppLovin.AppLovin.Initialize();) type of initialization of the AppLovin? Upon checking in our documentation for AppLovin, there is only "AppLovin.Initialize()" for optimizations. Have you tried to only use AppLovin.Initialize()", since you already import the "GoogleMobileAds.Api.Mediation.AppLovin"? In addition to that, kindly try to add the AppLovin initialization in your launch activity.

 

I would also recommend to try our sample app project, for reference in your implementation. If you still encounter any errors, kindly provide us the whole project file so that we can better check your implementation. You can provide it via reply privately to author option or directly provide it to the link below.

 

If the file(s) you are looking to share are less than 25mb in total you can attach them to this case on your next reply. If you are having trouble attaching your file to this case or if your file(s) are larger than 25mb, you can share your files with me by performing the following steps:

 

1. Navigate to

2. Fill out all fields, and attach your file(s).

Hi Pamela,

"GoogleMobileAds.Api.Mediation.AppLovin.AppLovin.Initialize()" comes from Google Mobile Ads SDK with AppLovin plugin. If you aren't using "GoogleMobileAds.Api.Mediation.AppLovin", you get initialization of AppLovin with the help of this string. Of course I should use only "AppLovin.Initialize()", but it doesn't help to resolve the issue.

"In addition to that, kindly try to add the AppLovin initialization in your launch activity." - what do you mean here? I should initialize it as soon as possible? Before initialization of Google Mobile Ads?

"Provides AppLovin the ability to track events as soon as the app starts." - what it gives to the developer? I read that it is optimisation, but optimisation of what?

My script with all the advertisment code attached to previous direct message. You can see there the crash logs and my code. If you saw it, you saw that AppLovin somehow initializing (or trying to initialize) 2 times because of this code: "GoogleMobileAds.Api.Mediation.AppLovin.AppLovin.Initialize()"; 

Regards,

Alex.

Hi Alex,

Teejay here. Allow me to assist you in this.

AppLovin.Initialize() to your launch activity provides AppLovin the ability to track events as soon as the app starts. As per initializing the SDK mediation, you should initialize it after the Mobile Ads SDK initialization. If the issue still persists, we would be requesting a project (or at  least a test project) that reproduce the issue. This will greatly help us to investigate the issue further as it will enable us to have full visibility with your implementation. Kindly provide to us the requested file using the steps below.

 

1. Navigate to

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfkAiXMeYP-fw1W3Z-tT9uwmATEKO5X6S-th0gR2ezdKaaqfg/viewform?usp=pp_url&entry.400550049=Mobile+Ads+SDK&entry.460850823=5004Q00002gjD2EQAU&entry.80707362=00159729
