As you already know that

"Beginning Jan 23, 2018, Google Mobile Ads SDK versions older than 7.0.0 for Android and 7.0.0 for iOS will no longer be supported".

Above statement mean this ? ===> 

"compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:10.0.1'"

I am confuse that I am using correct Google Mobile Ads SDK Version or not? OR I need to check something else?

No need to do anything, you already using 10.0.1 version which is greater then 7.0.0, however you can update to current latest version which is 11.8.0.

Google Mobile Ads SDK offered for Android through Google Play services which is available from the Google maven repository.

Google Mobile Ads          com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:11.8.0

Google Mobile Ads API dependency injection 

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
...

dependencies {

    implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:11.8.0'
}

  • Thanks Aryan. Just changing 10.0.1 into 11.8.0 will upgrade my Google Mobile Ads SDK version???? or I need to do something else? – awais Jan 07 '18 at 07:42
  • updating version and gradle sync is enough but may be you can face some issue at the time of syncing because from version 11.2.0, you've to use the google maven repo so follow this [answer](https://stackoverflow.com/a/47165271/3445320) – Abhishek Aryan Jan 07 '18 at 07:50

  • @PirFahimShah Don't be confused, You're using version `10.0.1`, which is greater then `7.0.0` so don't worry. Form ads version context no problem for your app after 23 jan. – Abhishek Aryan Jan 11 '18 at 07:02
  • @Aryan but i am not using these 2 lines of code in my app, should i put that code now 1: maven { url "https://maven.google.com" } 2: MobileAds.initialize(this, "ca-app-pub-5900269475646349~3669xxxx"); is that line necessary for the app to load add or my old app is ok – Pir Fahim Shah Jan 11 '18 at 07:12
  • It is only required if you update version to latest version. From version `11.2.0`, we need to add google maven repo link so that gradle fetch artifacts from repository. – Abhishek Aryan Jan 11 '18 at 07:18
  • Google recommend to use `MobileAds.initialize(XXXXX)` but it is not necessary. The Mobile Ads SDK take a few milliseconds to initialize itself so Ad SDK have provided initialize(..) method to call it way before you even call your first ad. Once that is done, there would not be any added load time for your first request. If you do not call this, then your very first AdRequest would take a few milliseconds more as it first needs to initialize itself. – Abhishek Aryan Jan 11 '18 at 07:28

  • For `23 Jan` issue no need to do anything. I always prefer to use latest version of any stable artifact so its good to update your artifact version to `11.8.0` and use `MobileAds.initialize(XXXXX)` as it is google recommendation. Android Studio is far good for Android development so It's good to migrate on Android Studio. – Abhishek Aryan Jan 11 '18 at 07:35
