This is not a duplicate question.

There's been a new wave of crashes of my App due to Admob. I implemented everything correctly, I don't know what the issue is, please help me out.

Hello there,

Thanks for reaching out to us. Are you able to reproduce the issue with our sample apps with the latest version of the SDK with any of the devices from Android 4.0 to Android 7.0? Can you please share the steps to reproduce the issue if you are able to reproduce the issue locally? We would also like to see the complete crash logs/crashlytics if you have any.

I have this same issue even today. It's a rare crash by users and I can't reproduce it. 
Any workaround?

Hi there,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

First off, kindly note that the last activity seen in this thread was from 07/24/19, which was around a year and a half ago. As such, the AdMob SDK (and Android itself) would have received quite a number of updates that would change the context of this issue by now.

With this in mind, could you kindly provide the details below (via Reply to author, or a direct, private reply to this email) so that I can further investigate the issue?

  • AdMob SDK version
  • Device names and Android versions of devices affected
  • Any crash logs capturing the issue (e.g. Crashlytics logs)

Hi there,

I work with Sherwin and Ziv and will assist you. Thank you for the video of the crashlytics, I wasn't able to open the link you sent. What I gather is this crash is affecting one user of a rooted Android 5.0.1 TCL seven phone. I raised this with my team. We will get back to you as soon as we have more information.
