Hi there,

Looking for help from AdMob dev guys. Can you help to locate reason of the NullPointerException happening at com.google.android.gms.ads.internal.video.exoplayer3.a.b?
It started to appear in the last Admob Unity SDK (Google Mobile Ads Unity Plugin v3.13.1).


Caused by java.lang.NullPointerException

Hi Alex,

Thanks for reporting this to us. I would suggest that you update to the latest version of SDK and see if you are still seeing the crash. Once you confirm that, we will share the information with the rest of the team.

Hi Alex,

My apologies if I am not clear in my previous post. Can you please make sure that the latest Android SDK version is being bundled via the Unity project and see if this is still happening?
