Google Mobile Ads (GMA) SDK warning

Hello everyone!

I have exported my android project as .aab file. After uploading to the Play Market, I saw this warning:

"You are using an outdated sdk. To prevent your in-app ads from becoming unusable, you need to update the advertising ID in the build manifest" (this is the approximate meaning of the message, since the warning disappeared during the next steps of publishing the application).

There was a link to the documentation:

support.google.com/admob/answer/11402075

Tell me, please, can I somehow remove this warning in the future so that I do not lose ads from the application?

Thank you!

Hi Laura_D

Maybe you can help me with this topic?

The warning text:

To release an app targeting Android 13 (API level 33), you must complete an advertising ID declaration. This will allow you to avoid replacing the advertising identifier with a string of zeros, in accordance with the new rules for this operating system.

If an app targeting Android 13 or later uses an advertising ID, the com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID permission must be specified in the manifest.

We will be updating the GMA SDK in due course before the deadline.

I just think you have just misunderstood this, maybe Ashley as well obviously.

The GMA has included the correct permission since long time ago. Also the version that Construct uses.

But you must declare that you app uses it. You do this in the Google play console.
