AdMob + kidSAFE® Seal Program

We are applying for the kidSAFE seal program and we noticed that Admob is included on our builds, regardless of us not putting it explicitly on the build.settings, thus generating the question as to why we use admob. What is the Admob library used for internally by Corona?

If you are not using it then it shouldn’t be included in the build.  If it is then you need to raise a support ticket with corona to get it excluded.

Can you post your build.settings?

Im guessing the plugins part is what you are after. Here it is

plugins = true and { ["plugin.appboy"] = { publisherId = "com.seobits", supportedPlatforms = { ["iphone"] = true, ["iphone-sim"] = true, ["appletvos"] = false, ["android"] = true, }, }, ["plugin.kochava"] = { publisherId = "com.coronalabs", supportedPlatforms = { ["iphone"] = true, ["iphone-sim"] = true, ["appletvos"] = false, ["android"] = true, }, }, ["plugin.qrscanner"] = { publisherId = "com.spiralcodestudio", supportedPlatforms = { ["iphone"] = true, ["iphone-sim"] = true, ["appletvos"] = false, ["android"] = true, }, }, ["plugin.zip"] = { publisherId = "com.coronalabs", supportedPlatforms = { ["iphone"] = true, ["iphone-sim"] = true, ["appletvos"] = true, ["android"] = true, }, }, ["plugin.utf8"] = { publisherId = "com.coronalabs", supportedPlatforms = { ["iphone"] = true, ["iphone-sim"] = true, ["android"] = true, ["appletvos"] = true, }, }, ["plugin.notifications.v2"] = { publisherId = "com.coronalabs", supportedPlatforms = { ["iphone"] = true, ["iphone-sim"] = true, ["android"] = true, }, }, ["CoronaProvider.gameNetwork.apple"] = { -- Apple Game Center publisherId = "com.coronalabs", supportedPlatforms = { ["iphone"] = true, ["iphone-sim"] = true, }, }, ["plugin.gpgs"] = { -- Google Play Game Services publisherId = "com.coronalabs", supportedPlatforms = { ["android"] = true, }, }, ["plugin.advertisingId"] = { publisherId = "com.coronalabs", supportedPlatforms = { ["iphone"] = true, ["iphone-sim"] = true, ["android"] = true, }, }, ["facebook"] = { publisherId = "com.coronalabs", supportedPlatforms = { ["iphone"] = true, ["iphone-sim"] = true, ["android"] = true, }, }, ["plugin.google.iap.v3"] = { publisherId = "com.coronalabs", supportedPlatforms = { ["android"] = true, }, }, ["plugin.openssl"] = { publisherId = "com.coronalabs", }, ["plugin.tenjin"] = { publisherId = "com.coronalabs", supportedPlatforms = { ["iphone"] = true, ["android"] = true, ["iphone-sim"] = true , } }, ["plugin.musicStreaming"] = { publisherId = "tech.scotth", supportedPlatforms = { iphone = true, android = true } }, },

Nothing? Removed plugin.gpgs and admob is still there. Here are the results of latest submit:
