Migrating to version 16.1

The latest release updates the AdMob library to the latest releases:

  • Android: 24.2.0
  • iOS: 12.12.0

UMP:

  • Android: 3.2.0
  • iOS: 3.0.0

The implementation remains mainly unchanged apart from the notes below.

Android Gradle Version​

We have updated the required gradle version used to build your application to be higher than the default AIR currently uses.

To specify a higher version add the following to your android node in your application descriptor:

<android>
    <gradleVersion>8.9</gradleVersion>
    <androidGradlePluginVersion>8.7.3</androidGradlePluginVersion>

  ...
</android>

If you don't do this you will see the following error when building your application:

Unexpected failure: Unable to run java: com.adobe.air.ADTException: gradle tool failed: 
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

...

   > BUG! exception in phase 'semantic analysis' in source unit '_BuildScript_' Unsupported class file major version 65
note

April 2025: This is not currently automatically handled by apm so you will need to add this manually to your application descriptor.

We are working on an update to handle this.

UMP Updates​

We have updated the UMP implementation to the latest version which is now 3.2.0 on Android and 3.0.0 on iOS. This provides a number of bug fixes and improvements to the UMP implementation.

The major addition is the ability to present the privacy form directly.

var privacyStatus:String = Adverts.service.ump.getConsentInformation().getPrivacyOptionsRequirementStatus();
if (PrivacyOptionsRequirementStatus.REQUIRED == privacyStatus)
{
    Adverts.service.ump.addEventListener( UserMessagingPlatformEvent.PRIVACY_OPTIONS_FORM_DISMISSED, ump_showFormDismissedHandler );
    Adverts.service.ump.showPrivacyOptionsForm();
}

For more information check the updated documentation on the User Messaging Platform.
