AdMob estimated adapter release history for CloudX Android SDK

This page covers both AdMob estimated adapter artifacts. Each entry is labeled with the artifact it applies to: adapter-admob (GMA Next-Gen SDK) or adapter-googlewaterfall (legacy Google Mobile Ads SDK).

adapter-googlewaterfall [25.2.0.5] - 2026-08-26

  • Fixes native ad clicks when the ad is rendered in a container the CloudX SDK did not build, such as a host mediation layer’s own native view. The clickable views you supply are now registered with Google, so taps register. Video media stays unregistered on that path; images are unaffected.
  • Adapter initialization no longer holds up CloudX SDK initialization. Only the manifest application-ID check gates the callback, and the Google Mobile Ads SDK starts in the background. A bid that arrives before Google finishes initializing fails that single auction.
  • No integration changes are required.
  • Requires minimum CloudX SDK version be 4.5.0.

adapter-admob [1.3.0.4] - 2026-08-26

  • Adapter initialization no longer holds up CloudX SDK initialization. Only the manifest application-ID check gates the callback, and the GMA Next-Gen SDK starts in the background. A bid that arrives before Google finishes initializing fails that single auction.
  • No integration changes are required.
  • Requires minimum CloudX SDK version be 4.5.0.

adapter-googlewaterfall [25.1.0.6] - 2026-08-26

  • Fixes native ad clicks when the ad is rendered in a container the CloudX SDK did not build, such as a host mediation layer’s own native view. Backport of the 25.2.0.5 fix to the Google Mobile Ads SDK 25.1.0 line.
  • Adapter initialization no longer holds up CloudX SDK initialization; the Google Mobile Ads SDK starts in the background. A bid that arrives before Google finishes initializing fails that single auction.
  • No integration changes are required.
  • Requires minimum CloudX SDK version be 4.5.0.

adapter-googlewaterfall [25.2.0.4] - 2026-08-21

  • Fullscreen ad prefetch now uses Google’s ad-preloading API, so the Google Mobile Ads SDK manages loading, expiry, and refill of interstitial, rewarded, and app-open ads. This removes the adapter’s own retry and refresh timers.
  • No integration changes are required.
  • Requires Google Mobile Ads SDK 24.4.0 or newer, and minimum CloudX SDK version be 4.5.0.

adapter-admob [1.3.0.3] - 2026-08-21

  • Fullscreen ad prefetch now uses Google’s ad-preloading API, so the GMA Next-Gen SDK manages loading, expiry, and refill of interstitial, rewarded, and app-open ads. This removes the adapter’s own retry and refresh timers.
  • No integration changes are required.
  • Requires minimum CloudX SDK version be 4.5.0.

adapter-googlewaterfall [25.1.0.5] - 2026-08-21

  • Fullscreen ad prefetch now uses Google’s ad-preloading API, so Google manages loading, retry, expiry, and refill. For integrations pinned to the Google Mobile Ads SDK 25.1.0 line.
  • This release also adds Google Ad Manager demand and realized-price reporting previously only on the 25.2.0 line.
  • Requires minimum CloudX SDK version be 4.5.0 (up from 4.2.0).

adapter-admob [1.3.0.2] - 2026-08-14

  • Fixes native ads that could render with an invisible media view when the ad’s media container was returned hidden.
  • No integration changes are required.
  • Requires minimum CloudX SDK version be 4.5.0.

adapter-googlewaterfall [25.2.0.3] - 2026-08-14

  • Fixes native ads that could render with an invisible media view when the ad’s media container was returned hidden.
  • No integration changes are required.
  • Requires minimum CloudX SDK version be 4.5.0.

adapter-googlewaterfall [25.1.0.4] - 2026-08-14

  • Fixes native ads that could render with an invisible media view when the ad’s media container was returned hidden. Backport of the 25.2.0.3 fix to the Google Mobile Ads SDK 25.1.0 line.
  • No integration changes are required.
  • Requires minimum CloudX SDK version be 4.2.0.

adapter-admob [1.3.0.1] - 2026-08-10

  • Moves realized-price capture into the CloudX SDK. The adapter no longer keeps its own realized-price store; the SDK now records the price from the adapter’s impression-level revenue data.
  • No integration changes are required.
  • Requires minimum CloudX SDK version be 4.5.0.

adapter-googlewaterfall [25.2.0.2] - 2026-08-10

  • Adds Google Ad Manager demand. This is the first adapter version to serve Ad Manager placements, which run on the Google Mobile Ads SDK you already integrate and are selected per placement from your CloudX configuration. No app-side changes are required.
  • Moves realized-price capture into the CloudX SDK. The adapter no longer keeps its own realized-price store; the SDK now records the price from the adapter’s impression-level revenue data.
  • No integration changes are required.
  • Requires minimum CloudX SDK version be 4.5.0.

adapter-admob [1.3.0.0] - 2026-07-29

  • Initial release of the AdMob estimated adapter on the GMA Next-Gen SDK 1.3.0.
  • Full ad-format parity with the legacy adapter-googlewaterfall artifact: Banner, MREC, Interstitial, Rewarded, Native, and App Open.
  • Requires minSdk 24 (a GMA Next-Gen SDK requirement).
  • Requires minimum CloudX SDK version be 4.2.0.

adapter-googlewaterfall [25.2.0.1] - 2026-07-21

  • Expires prefetched Google Mobile Ads fills after their per-format freshness window and proactively refills, so a stale cached fill is no longer served for an impression.
  • Requires minimum CloudX SDK version be 4.2.0.

adapter-googlewaterfall [25.2.0.0] - 2026-07-08

  • Certified with Google Mobile Ads SDK 25.2.0.
  • Requires minimum CloudX SDK version be 4.2.0.

adapter-googlewaterfall [25.1.0.3] - 2026-07-21

  • Expires prefetched Google Mobile Ads fills after their per-format freshness window and proactively refills, so a stale cached fill is no longer served for an impression. For integrations pinned to the Google Mobile Ads SDK 25.1.0 line.
  • Requires minimum CloudX SDK version be 4.2.0.

adapter-googlewaterfall [25.1.0.2] - 2026-07-07

  • Adds Google Waterfall Interstitial, Rewarded, Native, and App Open support.
  • Improves Google response ID reporting and uses Google paid-event revenue to update realized prices for future Google Waterfall bids.
  • Improves prefetch reliability by ignoring stale loader callbacks and using single-shot impression handling across Google Waterfall formats.
  • Reports supported ad formats to CloudX so server-provisioned configuration can match demand only to compatible placements.
  • Requires minimum CloudX SDK version be 4.2.0.

adapter-googlewaterfall [25.1.0.1] - 2026-06-02

  • Raises the prefetch load timeout above the Google Mobile Ads SDK’s own load timeout, so a slow but valid mediation cascade is no longer discarded as a stuck load.
  • Clarifies the no-probe-labels log to list the likely causes — probe misconfiguration, the bid clearing above the highest configured probe, or a test ad — so a probe ceiling set too low is distinguishable from broken mediation.

adapter-googlewaterfall [25.1.0.0] - 2026-05-25

  • Initial release.
  • Certified with Google Mobile Ads SDK 25.1.0.
  • Supports AdMob waterfall Banner and MREC ad formats.
  • Tags outgoing AdRequests with setRequestAgent("cloudx") so Google attributes prefetch traffic to CloudX.
  • Falls back to AdListener.onAdImpression when ILRD OnPaidEventListener does not fire within 250 ms, so impressions on AdMob accounts without Impression-Level Revenue Data still reach CloudX accounting. The ILRD path emits the revenue bundle; the fallback emits an empty bundle.
  • Auto-refresh impressions on the same AdView are intentionally dropped — GMA exposes no SDK-side refresh kill switch, so v1 counts one CloudX impression per served creative.
  • Requires minimum CloudX SDK version be 4.1.0.

adapter-googlewaterfall [24.9.0.1] - 2026-09-01

  • Brings the Google Mobile Ads SDK 24.9.0 line up to date with the 25.2.0 line, for integrations pinned to Google Mobile Ads SDK 24.9.0.
  • Fixes native ads that could render with an invisible media view when the ad’s media container was returned hidden.
  • Fixes native ad clicks when the ad is rendered in a container the CloudX SDK did not build, such as a host mediation layer’s own native view.
  • Fullscreen ad prefetch now uses Google’s ad-preloading API, so Google manages loading, retry, expiry, and refill.
  • Adapter initialization no longer holds up CloudX SDK initialization; the Google Mobile Ads SDK starts in the background. A bid that arrives before Google finishes initializing fails that single auction.
  • This release also adds Google Ad Manager demand and realized-price reporting previously only on the 25.x lines.
  • No integration changes are required.
  • Requires minimum CloudX SDK version be 4.5.0 (up from 4.2.0).

adapter-googlewaterfall [24.9.0.0] - 2026-07-30

  • Certified with Google Mobile Ads SDK 23.6.0, for integrations pinned to the 23.6.0 network SDK line.
  • Feature parity with 25.1.0.1 (the load-timeout and no-probe-labels logging improvements are included).
