Interstitial Admob ads: “IllegalStateException: Only fullscreen activities can request orientation”

Question

Background

I have an app with Admob SDK used in it, to show Interstitial ads (full screen ads).

Reccently Google has updated the SDK, along with many other

Answer 1

It seems that upgrading to:

com.google.firebase:firebase-ads:15.0.1

solved this issue for me. I've just tested it on Nexus 5X with 8.1.0 and Interstitial Admob ads work now.

More complete solution:

app's build.gradle:

...

android {
    compileSdkVersion 27
    buildToolsVersion '27.0.3'

    defaultConfig {
        ...

        targetSdkVersion 27

        ..
    }
}

dependencies {
    ...

    implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:15.0.2'
    implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-ads:15.0.1'

    ...
}
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

top level build.gradle:

buildscript {
    ...

    dependencies {
        ...

        classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.3.0'

        ...
    }
}
