What is google-mobile-ads-android-migrate-to-next-gen?

A migration guide for replacing the legacy Google Mobile Ads SDK in an Android app with Google’s newer Mobile Ads SDK. It maps old dependencies, imports, classes, and method signatures to their replacements.

Use it to update Gradle settings, dependency versions, Android SDK requirements, source imports, API calls, and build verification during the ads SDK migration.

It gives a structured way to update advertising code while avoiding duplicate dependencies and build errors caused by leaving old SDK components in the project.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00105	$0.04307
Opus 5	$0.00053	$0.02153

Security

Grade A, and why

google-mobile-ads-android-migrate-to-next-gen scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

AI Migration Agent Instructions for the Google Mobile Ads SDK

Migration Workflow

Use this checklist to track your migration progress:

Configure Gradle:
- Replace com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads with the latest stable version of com.google.android.libraries.ads.mobile.sdk:ads-mobile-sdk. If you cannot access Maven directly, run the following command to fetch the latest version. The version returned in the latest tag is the latest version of the GMA Next-Gen SDK:
```
curl -sS https://dl.google.com/dl/android/maven2/com/google/android/libraries/ads/mobile/sdk/ads-mobile-sdk/maven-metadata.xml | sed -n 's/.*<latest>$.*$<\/latest>.*/\1/p'
```
- Update minSdk (24+) and compileSdk (34+).
- Exclude play-services-ads and play-services-ads-lite from all dependencies globally in the app-level build file to avoid duplicate symbol errors.
- Sync Gradle before moving on to the next step.
Per-File Migration:
- Refactor the codebase following the API Mapping and Method Mapping tables to migrate imports, class names, and method signature to GMA Next-Gen SDK.
Verify and Build:
- Run gradle build -x test to confirm a successful clean build. Resolve any GMA SDK related compile errors.

Core Migration Rules

App ID Usage: Always use the value of the com.google.android.gms.ads.APPLICATION_ID meta-data tag from AndroidManifest.xml for the applicationId in InitializationConfig.
- Constraint: Preserve the <meta-data> tag in the manifest; it is still required for publishers using the User Messaging Platform SDK.
Initialization Sequence:
1. Call MobileAds.initialize() on a background thread.
2. Ensure initialize() is called before any other SDK methods.
3. If using RequestConfiguration, bundle it into InitializationConfig.Builder.setRequestConfiguration(). Do not call MobileAds.setRequestConfiguration() before initialization.
UI Threading: MANDATORY: Callbacks in GMA-Next Gen SDK are invoked on a background thread. ALL UI-RELATED OPERATIONS (e.g., Toasts, View updates, Fragment transactions) MUST be wrapped in runOnUiThread {} or Dispatchers.Main.launch {} within GMA SDK callbacks. SKIPPING THIS STEP WILL CAUSE THE APPLICATION TO CRASH.
Mediation: Classes implementing com.google.android.gms.ads.mediation.Adapter MUST continue using com.google.android.gms.ads.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
