Can I still use Google Mobile Ads in my app supporting android 2.1/2.2 after August 1st?

[Joe Zeng]

Hi all,

I know that apps with the legacy admob sdk will not be accepted to Google play after August 1st, and Google Mobile Ads are offered through Google Play services library. But if I want my app supporting android 2.1/2.2 to have Google Mobile Ads even after August 1st, how can I do that? Or there is no chance to do that? Please help, thanks for your time,

Joe

Hi Joe,

I removed android.util.Log.wtf by using ProGuard optimization and added android.util.Base64.java from the latest code base.
My application with AdMob in Google Play now successfully runs on Android 2.1, but not on Android 1.6.

Sorry Joe,

I found other dependency of API level 9 - AdMob SDK 4.4 refers String.isEmpty.

Google needs care for using such APIs - there are a way to write the same functionality without this.

Hi Nagamatu,

Thanks for letting me know this. Since the Google play services library will be updated automatically, so there will be more dependency issue happened in future. So even if we change the google play services library in our released app, but it will be updated in future and the compatibility issue will still rise. And also looks like google does not support ads < API level 9, so we may need to find other ads platform or ads solution other than admob to support < API level 9. This is my point. What do you think?
