Usage of Google Advertising Id on Android WITHOUT integrating Google Mobile Ads












1















Getting the Google Advertising ID on Android requires to import the play-services-ads dependency.



Starting from 17.0.0, this dependency enforces that the application manifest contain a <meta-data> tag with key com.google.android.gms.ads.APPLICATION_ID. Missing tag leads to an application crash.



But I want to retrieve the Google Advertising ID for ads purposes that are not related to Google mobile Ads, and I do not have an application ID.



Does anyone know how to proceed now ?

          You can use play-services-ads-identifier instead of play-services-ads.



          implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads-identifier:16.0.0'


          This will import only the Advertising ID classes, without Google Mobile Ads/AdMob.
