I am using com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads 17.0.0 and facing a lot of crashes since past few days, but I can't reproduce.

Stacktrace:

Fatal Exception: java.lang.NullPointerException uriString

Most affected versions: Android 5.1, 6.0, 7.0 and 7.1.

Has anyone come across same error? Or any idea how to fix this?

There is a bug in version 17.0.0 either you're using

implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:17.0.0'    //or
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-ads:17.0.0'

You can check this thread for more details.

According to post from Mobile Ads SDK Team member, issue has been fixed but there is no ETA as of now.

EDIT

I found that above issue is not related to particular admob version. From last week most of the apps with AdMob start crashing, It doesn't matter what admob version you're using. I think there is some issue with server side or how they delivered ads(may be getting null in response) and not handled in AdMob SDK level.

So Currently we've

  • Issue with Server side
  • May be some issue in version 17.0.0

Issue already submitted to Mobile Ads SDK team so we've only option to wait for server side fixes or we may get another release after 17.0.0.

Version 17.1.0 has been deployed on Google's Maven repository on 2018‑11‑07

EDIT 2

Hopefully issue has been resolved from server side, response from most of developers that they are not getting above crash from last 24 hours.

EDIT 3

Issue has been resolved by Mobile Ads SDK Team.
