AdMob Crash

Unity: All versions | Appodeal SDK: All versions


If the app crashes on startup, check the logs from your device. Connect a device with the app installed, open the Android Studio Logcat console, run the app and check logs. For more information about the console please visit Debugging with Android Studio.

The following crash happens if AdMob App Id has not been specified in AndroidManifest.xml, which is required for AdMob and A4G networks. Appodeal SDK contains these adapters by default.

The crash log example:

Use Admob Adapter In Your App​

If you are planning to use AdMob and A4G add AdMob App Id from the Unity Menu bar Appodeal → Appodeal Settings tool.

AdMob App ID is the unique ID assigned to your app.

To find the AdMob App ID in your AdMob account, go to Apps → your application → app settings and copy the AdMob App ID.
