After analyzing these reports, we updated our SDK implementation best practices to reduce ANR rates. The recommended best practices are as follows: </p> <ol> <li>Initialize the Mobile Ads SDK on a background thread <li>Enable optimization flag for ad loading</li> </ol> <p> <strong>1. Initialize the Mobile Ads SDK on a background thread</strong> </p> <p> Our previous best practice was to specify the <code><a href="https://developers.google.com/admob/android/optimize-initialization#update_your_manifest_file">OPTIMIZE_INITIALIZATION</a></code> manifest flag. However, some work on the calling thread is still required to prepare <code>MobileAds</code> to handle other method calls synchronously. <p> We now recommend calling <code><a href="https://developers.google.com/android/reference/com/google/android/gms/ads/MobileAds#initialize(android.content.Context,%20com.google.android.gms.ads.initialization.OnInitializationCompleteListener)">MobileAds.initialize()</a></code> on a background thread, enabling the work required on the calling thread to happen in the background. <pre class="prettyprint">import com.google.android.gms.ads.MobileAds import kotlinx.coroutines.CoroutineScope import kotlinx.coroutines.Dispatchers import kotlinx.coroutines.launch class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() { override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState) setContentView(R.layout.activity_main) <strong>CoroutineScope(Dispatchers.IO).launch { // Initialize the Google Mobile Ads SDK on a background thread. MobileAds.initialize(this@MainActivity) {} runOnUiThread { // Load an ad on the main thread. loadAd() } }</strong> } } </pre> <p> Note: When calling <code>MobileAds.initialize()</code> on a background thread, the <code>OPTIMIZE_INITIALIZATION </code>manifest flag is no longer required. </p> <p> <strong>2. Enable optimization flag for ad loading</strong> </p> <p> By enabling the <code><a href="https://developers.google.com/admob/android/optimize-initialization#update_your_manifest_file">OPTIMIZE_AD_LOADING</a></code> manifest flag, you can offload most ad loading tasks to a background thread.

After analyzing these reports, we updated our SDK implementation best practices to reduce ANR rates. The recommended best practices are as follows: </p> <ol> <li>Initialize the Mobile Ads SDK on a background thread <li>Enable optimization flag for ad loading</li> </ol> <p> <strong>1. Initialize the Mobile Ads SDK on a background thread</strong> </p> <p> Our previous best practice was to specify the <code><a href="https://developers.google.com/admob/android/optimize-initialization#update_your_manifest_file">OPTIMIZE_INITIALIZATION</a></code> manifest flag. However, some work on the calling thread is still required to prepare <code>MobileAds</code> to handle other method calls synchronously. <p> We now recommend calling <code><a href="https://developers.google.com/android/reference/com/google/android/gms/ads/MobileAds#initialize(android.content.Context,%20com.google.android.gms.ads.initialization.OnInitializationCompleteListener)">MobileAds.initialize()</a></code> on a background thread, enabling the work required on the calling thread to happen in the background. <pre class="prettyprint">import com.google.android.gms.ads.MobileAds import kotlinx.coroutines.CoroutineScope import kotlinx.coroutines.Dispatchers import kotlinx.coroutines.launch class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() { override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState) setContentView(R.layout.activity_main) <strong>CoroutineScope(Dispatchers.IO).launch { // Initialize the Google Mobile Ads SDK on a background thread. MobileAds.initialize(this@MainActivity) {} runOnUiThread { // Load an ad on the main thread. loadAd() } }</strong> } } </pre> <p> Note: When calling <code>MobileAds.initialize()</code> on a background thread, the <code>OPTIMIZE_INITIALIZATION </code>manifest flag is no longer required. </p> <p> <strong>2. Enable optimization flag for ad loading</strong> </p> <p> By enabling the <code><a href="https://developers.google.com/admob/android/optimize-initialization#update_your_manifest_file">OPTIMIZE_AD_LOADING</a></code> manifest flag, you can offload most ad loading tasks to a background thread. We recommend enabling this flag in your app's <code>AndroidManifest.xml</code> file to reduce the occurrence of ad loading causing ANRs. </p> <pre class="prettyprint"><manifest> ... <application> ... <strong><meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.flag.OPTIMIZE_AD_LOADING" android:value="true"/></strong> </application> </manifest> </pre> <p> We’ve updated all of our <a href="https://github.com/googleads/googleads-mobile-android-examples">Android example apps</a> to implement these best practices.

Beginning January 16, 2024, Google will require all publishers to use a Google-certified consent management platform (CMP) when serving ads to users in the European Economic Area or the UK. </p> <p> In addition to growing our list of <a href="https://support.google.com/admob/answer/13554116?hl=en#google-certified-cmps&zippy=%2Cgoogle-certified-cmps">certified CMPs</a>, we explored how to improve the User Messaging Platform (UMP) SDK developer experience for those who choose to use Google’s consent management solution. We are excited to share several updates in the latest iOS and Android versions that we think will streamline your integration. </p> <h2>Loading and presenting a consent form</h2> <p> The latest UMP SDK release introduces a new API, <a href="https://developers.google.com/admob/ios/privacy/api/reference/Classes/UMPConsentForm#+loadandpresentifrequiredfromviewcontroller:completionhandler:">loadAndPresentIfRequired()</a>, that consolidates the existing individual load and present consent form methods into a single method. The new API loads a consent form and if consent is required, automatically presents the consent form. This method is intended to be used at the beginning of a new app session. </p> <p> Here is a code example of how to use the new API on iOS: </p> <pre class="prettyprint">class ViewController: UIViewController { private var isMobileAdsStartCalled = false override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() UMPConsentInformation.sharedInstance.requestConsentInfoUpdate(with: parameters) { [weak self] requestConsentError in guard let self else { return } // Call the helper method once consent information has been updated. UMPConsentForm.loadAndPresentIfRequired(from: self) { [weak self] loadAndPresentError in guard let self else { return } if UMPConsentInformation.sharedInstance.canRequestAds { self.startGoogleMobileAdsSDK() } } } // canRequestAds will be true if consent was gathered in the previous session. if UMPConsentInformation.sharedInstance.canRequestAds { startGoogleMobileAdsSDK() } } private func startGoogleMobileAdsSDK() { DispatchQueue.main.async { guard !self.isMobileAdsStartCalled else { return } self.isMobileAdsStartCalled = true // Initialize the Google Mobile Ads SDK.

Utilizing these APIs ensures that the user receives video ads with the expected audio volume. </p> <p> We’ll talk about some best practices implementing the volume control APIs in your <a href="https://developers.google.com/admob/ios/global-settings#video_ad_volume_control">iOS</a>, <a href="https://developers.google.com/admob/android/global-settings#video_ad_volume_control">Android</a> or <a href="https://developers.google.com/admob/unity/global-settings#video_ad_volume_control">Unity</a> project. </p> <h2>Why are we mentioning this?</h2> <p> Publishers can lose revenue when using these APIs to lower or mute the volume of the Google Mobile Ads SDK. Two issues we have commonly seen: </p><ol> <li>Apps are using their own custom volume controls not sending the app’s accurate volume to the Google Mobile Ads SDK, but always sending zero <li>App are just muting the SDK</li></ol> <p> Some apps have close to a 100% mute rate which doesn’t sound correct (pun intended). Setting application volume to zero or muting the application reduces video ad eligibility, which as a result may reduce your app’s ad revenue. </p> <h2>Volume control APIs</h2> <p> The Google Mobile Ads SDK offers two <a href="https://developers.google.com/admob/ios/global-settings">volume control APIs</a>: setting the volume and toggling mute. These APIs are applicable to App Open, Banner, Interstitial, Rewarded and Rewarded Interstitial ad formats. For Native ads, use <code><a href="https://developers.google.com/admob/ios/api/reference/Classes/GADVideoOptions">GADVideoOptions</a></code>. <h4>Setting application volume on each platform</h4> <table> <tr> <td>iOS </td> <td><code>GADMobileAds.sharedInstance().applicationVolume = 1.0</code> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Android </td> <td><code>MobileAds.setAppVolume(1.0f)</code> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Unity </td> <td><code>MobileAds.SetApplicationVolume(1.0f)</code> </td> </tr> </table> <p> Use <code>applicationVolume</code> to set your custom volume <em>relative</em> to the device volume. The range can be from 0.0 (silent) to 1.0 (current device volume). For example, if the device volume level was at half level and the user set your app’s custom volume to max level, set the <code>applicationVolume</code> to <code>1.0</code> and the user will receive an ad with the volume at half level. </p> <h4>Setting application mute on each platform </h4> <table> <tr> <td>iOS </td> <td><code>GADMobileAds.sharedInstance().applicationMuted = true</code> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Android </td> <td><code>MobileAds.setAppMuted(true)</code> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Unity </td> <td><code>MobileAds.SetApplicationMuted(true)</code> </td> </tr> </table> <p> Use <code>applicationMuted</code> if your custom volume controls include a mute button.

Utilizing these APIs ensures that the user receives video ads with the expected audio volume. </p> <p> We’ll talk about some best practices implementing the volume control APIs in your <a href="https://developers.google.com/admob/ios/global-settings#video_ad_volume_control">iOS</a>, <a href="https://developers.google.com/admob/android/global-settings#video_ad_volume_control">Android</a> or <a href="https://developers.google.com/admob/unity/global-settings#video_ad_volume_control">Unity</a> project. </p> <h2>Why are we mentioning this?</h2> <p> Publishers can lose revenue when using these APIs to lower or mute the volume of the Google Mobile Ads SDK. Two issues we have commonly seen: </p><ol> <li>Apps are using their own custom volume controls not sending the app’s accurate volume to the Google Mobile Ads SDK, but always sending zero <li>App are just muting the SDK</li></ol> <p> Some apps have close to a 100% mute rate which doesn’t sound correct (pun intended). Setting application volume to zero or muting the application reduces video ad eligibility, which as a result may reduce your app’s ad revenue. </p> <h2>Volume control APIs</h2> <p> The Google Mobile Ads SDK offers two <a href="https://developers.google.com/admob/ios/global-settings">volume control APIs</a>: setting the volume and toggling mute. These APIs are applicable to App Open, Banner, Interstitial, Rewarded and Rewarded Interstitial ad formats. For Native ads, use <code><a href="https://developers.google.com/admob/ios/api/reference/Classes/GADVideoOptions">GADVideoOptions</a></code>. <h4>Setting application volume on each platform</h4> <table> <tr> <td>iOS </td> <td><code>GADMobileAds.sharedInstance().applicationVolume = 1.0</code> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Android </td> <td><code>MobileAds.setAppVolume(1.0f)</code> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Unity </td> <td><code>MobileAds.SetApplicationVolume(1.0f)</code> </td> </tr> </table> <p> Use <code>applicationVolume</code> to set your custom volume <em>relative</em> to the device volume. The range can be from 0.0 (silent) to 1.0 (current device volume). For example, if the device volume level was at half level and the user set your app’s custom volume to max level, set the <code>applicationVolume</code> to <code>1.0</code> and the user will receive an ad with the volume at half level. </p> <h4>Setting application mute on each platform </h4> <table> <tr> <td>iOS </td> <td><code>GADMobileAds.sharedInstance().applicationMuted = true</code> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Android </td> <td><code>MobileAds.setAppMuted(true)</code> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Unity </td> <td><code>MobileAds.SetApplicationMuted(true)</code> </td> </tr> </table> <p> Use <code>applicationMuted</code> if your custom volume controls include a mute button. Only toggle <code>applicationMuted</code> if the user selects your custom mute button. For example, if the user adjusts your custom volume to 0 you do not need to call <code>applicationMuted</code>; just call <code>applicationVolume = 0.0</code>. </p> <h4>Setting mute for native ads on each platform</h4> <table> <tr> <td>iOS </td> <td> <pre class="prettyprint">let videoOptions = GADVideoOptions() videoOptions.startMuted = true adLoader = GADAdLoader( adUnitID: "AD_UNIT_ID", rootViewController: self, adTypes: [ ... ad type constants ... ], options: [videoOptions])</pre> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Android </td> <td> <pre class="prettyprint">val videoOptions = VideoOptions.Builder() .setStartMuted(false) .build() val adOptions = NativeAdOptions.Builder() .setVideoOptions(videoOptions) .build() val adLoader = AdLoader.Builder(this, "AD_UNIT_ID") .forNativeAd( ... ) .withNativeAdOptions(adOptions) .build()</pre> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Unity </td> <td><code>N/A - Native video ads are not supported in Unity.</code> </td> </tr> </table> <p> Use <code>startMuted</code> if your custom volume controls include a mute button.

What this means for you is to integrate with SDK version 10.0.0, you also have to disable bitcode (if you haven’t already) in the build settings of your Xcode project. <li>Ad Manager applications require an app ID upon initialization of the SDK. This also means the key <code>GADIsAppManagerApp</code> will no longer bypass this check. App IDs are added to the <code>Info.plist </code>with a key of <code>GADApplicationIdentifier</code>. See <a href="https://developers.google.com/ad-manager/mobile-ads-sdk/ios/quick-start#update_your_infoplist">Update your Info.plist</a> for more details. <li>Ad Manager applications require GoogleAppMeasurement.xcframework as a dependency.

Since we can’t just pass in <code>self</code> as the root view controller, we needed to achieve a similar result using a SwiftUI-native approach. </p> <h1>Our solution</h1> <p> We created an implementation of the <code><a href="https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/uiviewcontrollerrepresentable">UIViewControllerRepresentable</a></code> protocol with a <code>UIViewController</code> property.

This is because <code><a href="https://developers.google.com/admob/ios/api/reference/Classes/GADInterstitialAd#-canpresentfromrootviewcontroller:error:">canPresent(fromRootViewController:)</a></code> requires the presenting view controller’s <code>window</code> value to not be nil. <pre class="prettyprint">private let adViewControllerRepresentable = AdViewControllerRepresentable() var body: some View { Text("hello, friend.") .font(.largeTitle) // Add the adViewControllerRepresentable to the background so it // does not influence the placement of other views in the view hierarchy. .background { adViewControllerRepresentable .frame(width: .zero, height: .zero) } }</pre> <p> To present the full screen ads in our sample app, we leveraged action events in SwiftUI. </p> <pre class="prettyprint">Button("Watch an ad!") { coordinator.presentAd(from: adViewControllerRepresentable.viewController) }</pre> <p> And our <code>AdCoordinator</code> class does the honor of presenting it from our view controller. </p> <pre class="prettyprint">private class AdCoordinator: NSObject { private var ad: GADInterstitialAd? ... func presentAd(from viewController: UIViewController) { guard let ad = ad else { return print("Ad wasn't ready") } ad.present(fromRootViewController: viewController) } }</pre> <p> And voila! </p> <h1>An alternative option</h1> <p> Instead of creating a <code>UIViewControllerRepresentable</code>, there was always the option to query the <code>rootViewController</code> property from <code>UIWindow</code>. </p> <pre class="prettyprint">UIApplication.shared.windows.first?.rootViewController</pre> <p> We decided against this option for the following reasons: </p><ol> <li>There is the inherent nullability risk to querying an optional array index. <li>The default value of <code>rootViewController</code> is nil. <li>If your app utilizes more than one window, the <code>windows</code> array will have multiple elements and therefore, makes querying the “first” window object unreliable. <li><code>windows</code> on the <code>UIApplication</code> object is deprecated in iOS 15 and <code>UIWindowScene</code> now holds the reference to this property.</li></ol> <h1>Conclusion</h1> <p> We know there is more than one way to cook an egg when it comes to writing code in SwiftUI. For our use case, we chose the most low-code friendly option.

This is because <code><a href="https://developers.google.com/admob/ios/api/reference/Classes/GADInterstitialAd#-canpresentfromrootviewcontroller:error:">canPresent(fromRootViewController:)</a></code> requires the presenting view controller’s <code>window</code> value to not be nil. <pre class="prettyprint">private let adViewControllerRepresentable = AdViewControllerRepresentable() var body: some View { Text("hello, friend.") .font(.largeTitle) // Add the adViewControllerRepresentable to the background so it // does not influence the placement of other views in the view hierarchy. .background { adViewControllerRepresentable .frame(width: .zero, height: .zero) } }</pre> <p> To present the full screen ads in our sample app, we leveraged action events in SwiftUI. </p> <pre class="prettyprint">Button("Watch an ad!") { coordinator.presentAd(from: adViewControllerRepresentable.viewController) }</pre> <p> And our <code>AdCoordinator</code> class does the honor of presenting it from our view controller. </p> <pre class="prettyprint">private class AdCoordinator: NSObject { private var ad: GADInterstitialAd? ... func presentAd(from viewController: UIViewController) { guard let ad = ad else { return print("Ad wasn't ready") } ad.present(fromRootViewController: viewController) } }</pre> <p> And voila! </p> <h1>An alternative option</h1> <p> Instead of creating a <code>UIViewControllerRepresentable</code>, there was always the option to query the <code>rootViewController</code> property from <code>UIWindow</code>. </p> <pre class="prettyprint">UIApplication.shared.windows.first?.rootViewController</pre> <p> We decided against this option for the following reasons: </p><ol> <li>There is the inherent nullability risk to querying an optional array index. <li>The default value of <code>rootViewController</code> is nil. <li>If your app utilizes more than one window, the <code>windows</code> array will have multiple elements and therefore, makes querying the “first” window object unreliable. <li><code>windows</code> on the <code>UIApplication</code> object is deprecated in iOS 15 and <code>UIWindowScene</code> now holds the reference to this property.</li></ol> <h1>Conclusion</h1> <p> We know there is more than one way to cook an egg when it comes to writing code in SwiftUI. For our use case, we chose the most low-code friendly option.

Depending on what constraints or layout mechanism you are using to position your banner, you may need to remove height constraints such that the layout accepts variable content size. <ul> <li>For Android this can be done using <code>WRAP_CONTENT</code>.</li> <li>For iOS constrain your banner in terms of X and Y positions, you may also give it a width constraint, but ensure any height constraint or content size is placeholder only.</li> </ul> <p>Note that the max height is 15% of the device height or 90px, whichever is smaller.</p> </li> <li>Use the adaptive banner ad size APIs to get an adaptive ad size. The adaptive ad size APIs are available for different orientations. <p>Android: <br> <code>AdSize.getCurrentOrientationAnchoredAdaptiveBannerAdSize(context, width)</code><br> <code>AdSize.getPortraitAnchoredAdaptiveBannerAdSize(context, width)</code><br> <code>AdSize.getLandscapeAnchoredAdaptiveBannerAdSize(context, width)</code><br> </p> <p>iOS: <br> <code>GADCurrentOrientationAnchoredAdaptiveBannerAdSizeWithWidth(width)</code><br> <code>GADPortraitAnchoredAdaptiveBannerAdSizeWithWidth(width)</code><br> <code>GADLandscapeAnchoredAdaptiveBannerAdSizeWithWidth(width)</code><br> </p> <p>Unity: <br> <code>AdSize.GetCurrentOrientationAnchoredAdaptiveBannerAdSizeWithWidth(width)</code><br> <code>AdSize.GetPortraitAnchoredAdaptiveBannerAdSizeWithWidth(width)</code><br> <code>AdSize.GetLandscapeAnchoredAdaptiveBannerAdSizeWithWidth(width)</code><br> </p> <p>Which one you use depends on your use case. If you want to preload ads for a given orientation, use the API for that orientation. If you only need a banner for the current orientation of the device, use the current orientation API. </p> <p>Once you have an ad size, set that on your banner view as usual before loading an ad. The banner will resize to the adaptive ad size as long as you have laid it out without any conflicting constraints. </p> </li> <li>Update your mediation adapters. If you use mediation, update your mediation adapters to the latest version. All open source mediation adapters that support banners have been updated to support the adaptive banner ad size requests. Note that adapters will still only return ad sizes supported by their corresponding ad network SDK, and those ads will be centered in your adaptive banner view. </li> </ol> <h2>Review our developer resources</h2> <p> For further information including detailed implementation guidance, review our developer resources: </p><ul> <li>Adaptive banner guide (<a href="https://developers.google.com/admob/ios/banner/adaptive">AdMob iOS</a> | <a href="https://developers.google.com/admob/android/banner/adaptive">AdMob Android</a> | <a href="https://developers.google.com/admob/unity/banner/adaptive">AdMob Unity</a> | <a href="https://developers.google.com/ad-manager/mobile-ads-sdk/ios/banner/adaptive">Ad Manager iOS</a> | <a href="https://developers.google.com/ad-manager/mobile-ads-sdk/android/banner/adaptive">Ad Manager Android</a>) <li>Adaptive banner sample app (<a href="https://github.com/googleads/googleads-mobile-ios-examples/tree/master/Swift/admob/AdaptiveBannerExample">AdMob iOS</a> | <a href="https://github.com/googleads/googleads-mobile-android-examples/tree/master/java/admob/AdaptiveBannerExample">AdMob Android</a> | <a href="https://github.com/googleads/googleads-mobile-ios-examples/tree/master/Swift/admanager/AdaptiveBannerExample">Ad Manager iOS</a> | <a href="https://github.com/googleads/googleads-mobile-android-examples/tree/master/java/admanager/AdaptiveBannerExample">Ad Manager Android</a>)</li></ul> <p> As always, please reach out on our <a href="https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/google-admob-ads-sdk">developer forum</a> if you have any questions. </p> <p><span class="byline-author"><img height="40" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a-/AAuE7mDYk-xi7aUv1XR9jrXS5ysT32Ll4zfahlOO_qZlGA=s120-p-rw-no?sz=40" style="vertical-align:middle; border:none;" width="40"> - Samuel Stow, Mobile Ads Developer Relations</span></p> <span itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://plus.google.com/116899029375914044550' itemprop='url'/> </span> </script> <noscript> <p> In today’s mobile-first world, app publishers who use banner ads must serve them across a greater variety of screen sizes and layouts than ever before.

Once you <a href="https://support.google.com/admob/answer/7356431">find your AdMob app ID</a> in the AdMob UI, add it to your manifest adding the following <code><meta-data></code> tag: </p> <pre class="prettyprint"><manifest> <application>  <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.APPLICATION_ID" android:value="ca-app-pub-################~##########"/> </application> </manifest> </pre> <p> Failure to add this tag will result in the app crashing at app launch with a message starting with <em>"The Google Mobile Ads SDK was initialized incorrectly."</em> </p> <h3>What if I'm using Google Ad Manager instead of AdMob?</h3> <p> Publishers using Google Ad Manager will need to declare themselves as an Ad Manager app with a different <code><meta-data></code> tag to avoid the same crash: </p> <pre class="prettyprint"><manifest> <application> <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.AD_MANAGER_APP" android:value="true"/> </application> </manifest> </pre> <p> See the getting started guide (<a href="https://developers.google.com/admob/android/quick-start#update_your_androidmanifestxml">AdMob</a> | <a href="https://developers.google.com/ad-manager/mobile-ads-sdk/android/quick-start#update_your_androidmanifestxml">Ad Manager</a>) for additional details on how to make this change. </p> <h2>NativeAppInstallAd and NativeContentAd APIs are deprecated</h2> <p> This release also officially deprecates the <a href="https://developers.google.com/android/reference/com/google/android/gms/ads/formats/NativeAppInstallAd">NativeAppInstallAd</a> and <a href="https://developers.google.com/android/reference/com/google/android/gms/ads/formats/NativeContentAd">NativeContentAd</a> APIs in favor of the previously released <a href="https://developers.google.com/android/reference/com/google/android/gms/ads/formats/UnifiedNativeAd">UnifiedNativeAd</a> API. The <code>UnifiedNativeAd</code> APIs offer a consolidated way to render any type of native ad, reducing the number of lines of code needed to integrate native ads by up to 50%. </p> <p> The following example shows how to load both app install and content ads using the new unified API: </p> <pre class="prettyprint">AdLoader adLoader = new AdLoader.Builder(context, "ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/2247696110") .forUnifiedNativeAd(new UnifiedNativeAd.OnUnifiedNativeAdLoadedListener() { @Override public void onUnifiedNativeAdLoaded(UnifiedNativeAd unifiedNativeAd) { // Show the ad. } }) .build(); adLoader.loadAd(new AdRequest.Builder().build()); </pre> <p> Check out the <a href="https://developers.google.com/admob/android/native-unified">native ads guide</a> to get started with the unified API. </p> <h2>What else changed?</h2> <p> See the <a href="https://developers.google.com/admob/android/rel-notes">release notes</a> for a full list of changes.

Once you <a href="https://support.google.com/admob/answer/7356431">find your AdMob app ID</a> in the AdMob UI, add it to your manifest adding the following <code><meta-data></code> tag: </p> <pre class="prettyprint"><manifest> <application>  <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.APPLICATION_ID" android:value="ca-app-pub-################~##########"/> </application> </manifest> </pre> <p> Failure to add this tag will result in the app crashing at app launch with a message starting with <em>"The Google Mobile Ads SDK was initialized incorrectly."</em> </p> <h3>What if I'm using Google Ad Manager instead of AdMob?</h3> <p> Publishers using Google Ad Manager will need to declare themselves as an Ad Manager app with a different <code><meta-data></code> tag to avoid the same crash: </p> <pre class="prettyprint"><manifest> <application> <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.AD_MANAGER_APP" android:value="true"/> </application> </manifest> </pre> <p> See the getting started guide (<a href="https://developers.google.com/admob/android/quick-start#update_your_androidmanifestxml">AdMob</a> | <a href="https://developers.google.com/ad-manager/mobile-ads-sdk/android/quick-start#update_your_androidmanifestxml">Ad Manager</a>) for additional details on how to make this change. </p> <h2>NativeAppInstallAd and NativeContentAd APIs are deprecated</h2> <p> This release also officially deprecates the <a href="https://developers.google.com/android/reference/com/google/android/gms/ads/formats/NativeAppInstallAd">NativeAppInstallAd</a> and <a href="https://developers.google.com/android/reference/com/google/android/gms/ads/formats/NativeContentAd">NativeContentAd</a> APIs in favor of the previously released <a href="https://developers.google.com/android/reference/com/google/android/gms/ads/formats/UnifiedNativeAd">UnifiedNativeAd</a> API. The <code>UnifiedNativeAd</code> APIs offer a consolidated way to render any type of native ad, reducing the number of lines of code needed to integrate native ads by up to 50%. </p> <p> The following example shows how to load both app install and content ads using the new unified API: </p> <pre class="prettyprint">AdLoader adLoader = new AdLoader.Builder(context, "ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/2247696110") .forUnifiedNativeAd(new UnifiedNativeAd.OnUnifiedNativeAdLoadedListener() { @Override public void onUnifiedNativeAdLoaded(UnifiedNativeAd unifiedNativeAd) { // Show the ad. } }) .build(); adLoader.loadAd(new AdRequest.Builder().build()); </pre> <p> Check out the <a href="https://developers.google.com/admob/android/native-unified">native ads guide</a> to get started with the unified API. </p> <h2>What else changed?</h2> <p> See the <a href="https://developers.google.com/admob/android/rel-notes">release notes</a> for a full list of changes. If you have any questions about the release, please reach out to us on the <a href="https://groups.google.com/group/google-admob-ads-sdk">Google Mobile Ads SDK developer forum</a>. </p> <p><span
