Google will deprecate the standalone AdMob SDK for Android on August 1

I’m just wondering what affects this will have on corona based apps that use admob?

Looking at this in a bit more detail, it means after 1 August 2014 we won’t be able to upload any new apps to Google Play that use the current admob SDK.

Any existing apps on the store will still work, but the Corona guys will need to provide us with a new way of serving ads through Google Play Services before 1 August comes around.

…that seems to be the gist of it.

Yep it will need to use google play services but I don’t think admob is even integrated into google play services as of yet. 

I had my bi-weekly call with my admob rep today and she told me that everyone is mistaken. All that is happening is google play service sdk and admob sdk will be merged into 1 sdk. You already can get this sdk from admob. Corona just has to make sure to upgrade to the new merged sdk before August 1st or else every app uploaded to android with admob will be removed.

That’s good to know …and there’s plenty of time for the Corona guys get the new admob sdk implemented.

I don’t use any ADS in my apps.

but I got this warning from google play

 

“We have determined that your app uses a library or SDK (com.inneractive, com.inneractive.api, com.inneractive.api.ads)”

 

these are old apps from 2013 before the Graphics 2.0 update.

 

i recompiled using build 2013.1202 , will it fix the issue ?

 

Anyone who has an idea please advise.

Since you’re a Pro subscriber you can compile with build 2013.1260 which is the last official G1.0 daily build.

I don’t know if that build will fix your issues though…

i re-compiled with 1202 seems to have fixed the issue.
