Admob Crash Issue

[Rostyslav Holovko]

Hi, I have integrated Google's Admob in my app, but now I have got the crashes related with Admob.

Here is the crash info.

Please let me know if someone has solution for this.
Thanks.

Hi there,

Thank you for reporting this.

Would you able to reproduce the crash locally? If so, could you please provide a project (or at least a test project, you may use our sample app for this) where the issue is reproducible?

Hi there,

I have this crash too, this has only been showing up recently. This is un-reproducable for me on my devices.

You can see it's called from both rewarded.c.finalise and interstitial.b.finalize.

Hi Steven,

Thank you for providing the details privately.

I already relayed the information to our Engineering team. I'll update this thread for any feedback.

[Ville Mäkynen]

Crashes with the same stack trace started appearing on my app's crash reports in Google Play Console on May 31, and the crashes spiked higher on June 6. 

The crashes started appearing without me having updated the app in almost two months - zero occurences before these dates and now there are dozens daily. I have since updated the app (on June 9) to use the latest mobile ads SDK (play-services-ads:17.2.1) and the latest Android SDK (28), but the same crashes appear in the updated app as well, so I don't think it's necessarily an issue with the SDKs.

I have not been able to reproduce the app crash locally, but I have found a simple way to reproduce something very similar.

If you have variable 'InterstitialAd interstitial' and load an ad into it but don't display it, and then later set 'interstitial = null' to let it be GC'd, it apparently gets stuck somehow. Now if you put the app into background, after a few seconds you can see this in Logcat:

Although it's a different exception, the stack trace looks very similar, so I think it's very likely these issues are related. I might be seeing a different exception in my local testing because I have built the app in debug mode.

I tried this on two devices and was able to reproduce the issue on both:

- Nokia 6.1, Android version 9.0

- Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A, Android version 7.1.2

The issue can be reproduced with the test interstitial and video ad units:

- Test Interstitial: ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/1033173712

- Test Interstitial Video: ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/8691691433

I'm having the exact same issue:

until 9th june i didn't had any ocurrence of that, and out of nowhere without any update or code change i started getting 200 crashes per day related to this...

and it is simple impossible to catch this crashes so it is very probably that google's has made another shit in the backend as always. here is my stack trace

I hope your team get hands to work on this and keep people update google's support is famous for getting issue report and then giving a shit to devs

[Serhat]

We also have the exact same issiue, any workaround?

[Varun Gupta]

Hi all

I am also facing this issue lately. Is it resolved? Any updates?
I am using

implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:15.0.1'

[Tomate Chines]

as it is well known google and its subsidiaries(admob) give a shit about devs... unless you are a paid costumer having problem with your ads you are likely to get zero response from them

Getting same issue here, each and every time an interstitial is shown. It shows and closes immediately with this "crash" in logs.

[zhiying hu]

same problem here. Is there somebody to resolve it?

[Milan Matlák]

According to Crashlytics report, the problem began to appear on May 29th. No change to ads library, no app update. Probably a backend change incompatible with compiled admob library or a google service update. The issue affects all Android versions.

This issue is very critical since the rating of my app is getting worse!  From 4.412 on 29th of May to 4.398 on 21st of June  (6300 app total ratings).

[Tomate Chines]

I'm having an weird problem with google admob api for android.... I dont know exactly how and when but it start creating too many threads and end up by crashing the whole system. I got this error in production and still not able to reproduce it in dev

this is the stack:

this stack doesn't say too much is just generic but if i take a print screen of my crashlytics dashboard:

and this goes over and over and over if i scroll down according to crashlytics there are 1024 threads at this moment

does anyone know why it is happening

is use: api("com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:17.2.1")

this problem happens in around 5% of the sessions IN PRODUCTION what is around 1000 times PER DAY

i wasn't able to reproduce in dev. but i didn't change anything in my code or updated the app in weeks

[Mobile Ads SDK Forum Advisor Prod]

Hi all,

Please be informed that a fix is already in place for this, however, we can't provide any definite timelines on its release. I suggest that you keep an eye on our Release Notes for future updates.

[Antony Hoang]

any update on this issue? i've been waiting for so long

[Hiroyuki T]

the crashes occurs somewhat frequently.

I'm looking forward updating!!!

[Mustafa Ahmad]

I am also facing the same issue for Rewarded Video Ad as well as Interstitial Ad in multiple device. The ad closed automatically within 2-4 seconds automatically with the error: Caused by: java.lang.Throwable: A WebView method was called on thread 'FinalizerDaemon'. All WebView methods must be called on the same thread.

Here is the two device I've tested on:
- Xiaomi Redmi 4A - Android 7.1.2
- Xiaomi Redmi A2 - Android 9

Waiting for the update.

[adil raza]

I solved the problem by not calling  "interstitial.loadad()   (for loading next ad)"  directly after interstitial.show() . So don't load next ad until your shown ad is closed.

Since about 1 - 1 1/2 month I have suddenly (did not change any app) 

I have exactly the same problem and I am loosing app installs since almost 1 month now. Why is it not possible to fix this asap ??? Many developers are having these problems and they are loosing money and app installs. It is not nice to give out a standard answer and not provide a quick and good fix to stop this horrible problem

[Sergey Semenov]

Have the same issue with rewarded video ads.

I solved the problem by not calling  "interstitial.loadad()   (for loading next ad)"  directly after interstitial.show() . So don't load next ad until your shown ad is closed.

In current game I load ads in onRewardedVideoAdClosed(), but have errors, so for rewarded it isn't solution.  

@Override
public void onRewardedVideoAdClosed() {
   debugLog("onRewardedVideoAdClosed");
   // Preload the next video ad.
   loadRewardedVideoAd();
   restoreLocale(); 
}

[Marcin Lament]

I have the same problem. It started few weeks ago without me updating the app.

[Matteo Cacci]

Hey Teejay,

Do you know if the update fixing the issue is about to be released soon ?

I am experiencing it since few weeks as well without updating the gradle of my app (using Android Studio).

I am looking forward putting this problem behind me.

Regards,

Matteo

Hi Matteo,

I'll let you know and update this thread once the fix has been released. You may also keep an eye on our blog regarding this.

[Matteo Cacci]

Thank you very much for the quick answer !

[Marco]

Hi 

i have "thousands" of app deinstalls because since this bug exists :-( :-( :-(  I hope you will release a fix very soon 

[AliCan Aydemir]

I am also facing the same issue for Rewarded Video Ad as well as Interstitial Ad in multiple device. 

The ad closed automatically within 2-4 seconds automatically with the error: Caused by: java.lang.Throwable: A WebView method was called on thread 'FinalizerDaemon'. All WebView methods must be called on the same thread.

Please update this .

Hi 

i have installed admob 18.1.1 now but now I am getting these crashes : 

signal 5 (SIGTRAP), code 1 (TRAP_BRKPT)

backtrace:

#00 pc 0000000000e6a0a4 /data/app/com.android.chrome-2/base.apk

on Android 7.1 and Android 9 . I am getting only this and nothing more.

I do not know if this is admob related too but it looks like another crash related to chrome webwiew now. At the moment I have only 2 crashes and i "hope" that I am not getting more.

[Mobile Ads SDK Forum Advisor Prod]

Hi Marco,

Thank you for reporting this. It seems that the issue you've reported is not related to the original thread.

For us to investigate further, could you please provide the following details via Reply privately to author option?

• Complete stack trace of the crash log
• Is the issue locally reproducible? If so, provide us a project (or at least a test project) and the steps to trigger the crash
• Charles log (see instruction here)

[Benabd Ellatif Ragheb]

i have the same problem but is fixed by the new APIs Rewarded Ads:

Works for me  

https://developers.google.com/admob/android/rewarded-ads 

[Matteo Cacci]

Thanks a lot Benabd. I did not know for this new API and it works like a gem now !!!

I have no error anymore and it looks super efficient !!!

[DarShan Pandya]

Facing the same issue.

Any updates on when the fix will be released?

SDK Version: 18.1.0

Hi again ! How can I make a new answer here ?? I can only answer to someone else ?! Thats really awful !

Hi Marco,

is any better with 18.1.1?

I'm wondering if we should halt rollout and update this admob library.

Best,

Bartek

[Marco]

Hi Bartek, 

i have integrated 18.1.1 but in unluckily  nothing is better yet.  I have the same crashes like with 18.1.0 

I have a lot of crashes here : 

Greets Marco 

[Matteo Cacci]

Hello Marco,

I do not know how much effort it is to refactor your code for the ads part.

But as Benabd suggested above (thank you by the way), you could try to implement the new google admob api (link below). 

Not only it fixes the same OP's issue I was also experiencing but I feel like it is far more efficient in term of loading and stacking reward-videos.

I find it also more intuitive.

https://developers.google.com/admob/android/rewarded-ads 

I am confident that it would also fix the error you currently got in your project.

Cheers,

Matt

[Mobile Ads SDK Forum Advisor Prod]

Hi Marco,

With regard to the OOM error that you encountered, please be informed that a fix is already in place for this, however, we can't provide any definite timelines on its release. I suggest that you keep an eye on our Release Notes for future updates.

[Marco]

Hi and also Matt

but the new api is "only" for reward ads yet ?! I have the crashes with interstitial ads so I guess I cannot change anything at the moment. Or maybe I misunderstand something. 

Marco

[Matteo Cacci]

Hi Marco

It is also for interstitial and banner.
Interstitial here:
https://developers.google.com/admob/android/interstitial

[Steven Haggerty]

Matteo, that's a link to the old interstitial API, not the new beta API. 

The beta API fixes the crash problem for rewarded video not interstitials.

With the new API you have a new ad instance per advert, with the old API you use a shared instance (as per your link).

[Marco]

Hi 

then a fast solution to fix the problems with interstitial ads would be good too to get ride of all of these annoying crashes. Also as I have mentioned before that users are "deinstalling" my apps. 

Sorry but it takes so long time to get anything fixed or anything will be fixed. Now this problem exists since almost 2 month now and nothing is really fixed. Even not with 18.1.1 

[Steven Haggerty]

Tried using the new beta API in my production version. Absolutely no difference. Still crashing.

It's been 2 months now, this is really hurting some of us, can we get a fix out please?

[Marco]

I do not understand this too ! You guys from google are the experts and also you are developing android ! :-) You should exactly know what is happening and  how to fix these crashes. 

It should be better to take "more" care of other developers/publishers and offer us a fast and clean solution But we get only a "standard" answer like "It is already fixed but we do not know a release date " :-(:-(:-(

We are not writing about 1 week ! Thats 2 month now ! More or less you are leaving us completely alone with this problem !

In a private company if I would say this to my customers ...

[Martin jules]

Also waiting for a fix urgently, it crash on 0.5% of my user base.  

The only way to fix it is to roll back... 

[Anthony Leeper]

I updated from `com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:18.1.0` to `com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:18.1.1`, and I am seeing the following error in android vitals:

    java.lang.VerifyError: 

      at com.google.android.gms.internal.ads.zzdan.zzdt (zzdan.java)

      at com.google.android.gms.internal.ads.zzbew.zzaf (zzbew.java)

      at com.google.android.gms.internal.ads.zzww.zza (zzww.java)

      at com.google.android.gms.ads.InterstitialAd.loadAd (InterstitialAd.java)

It appears to be only affecting older devices running android 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4.  Does anyone know what this error is?

[Steven Haggerty]

Martin, do you know what version of Admob we can use that doesn't have this bug present?

I can't wait any longer. I don't want to trip over the 'bad behaviour' threshold.

I have rolled it back to 18.0.0.  The verifyError I was seeing in 18.1.1 has gone, although I'm still seeing a few crashes due to java.lang.OutOfMemoryError, and java.lang.ClassNotFoundException.

Very frustrating this, my paid version without the ad sdk has zero crashes.  My free version is being down ranked I suspect due to these ad sdk crashes.

Hoping for a fix soon otherwise I may have to consider switching providers as this is really hurting my ranking.

While waiting for the next version 18.1.2. Which version should I update the least error? 

I have used 'com.google.firebase:firebase-ads:17.2.1' and encountered a lot of crash.

"Fatal Exception: java.util.concurrent.TimeoutException: com.google.android.gms.ads.nonagon.ad.interstitial.b.finalize() timed out after 10 seconds"

       

My best ratting app has dropped from 4.3 -> 4.0. huhu.

Hi Keim, 

I'm checking this internally with the team. I will have an update for you soon.

Thanks for your answer.

I don't know where problem it is. But you see the content in this link.

https://github.com/googleads/googleads-mobile-android-examples/issues/170

Stowy, he said: "This should be fixed now via a system services update (Google play services) - no version update needed."

Has the crash been fixed when updating google play services? And ads 17.2.1 version still works, no need to update to a newer version to fix this crash.
