Hi guys,
due to changes in google play services and with B4A V6.00 i don't know how to correctly integrate ADS from others than Admob.
I added the new google play services base strings in manifest following this thread:
https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/integrating-firebase-services.67692/#content

but wich is the correct google play JAR file to include in
#AdditionalJar: com.google.android.gms: ???

In the (updated) SDK i see:
play-services-ads
play-services-ads-lite

Thanks in advance
Davide

Hi Erel,
Google play services is 9.0.2 ( version 30 in the android SDK)

i tried this:
#AdditionalJar: com.google.android.gms: play-services-ads-lite

the app compiles without errors and run just fine as before,but i'm not sure if it is correct. i'm using Leadbolt Ads:

You need to use a more recent android.jar (Tools - Configure Paths).

with android.jar from platform V23 i get a different error now:

the list was too long , i removed some items but i think the relevant error is:

trouble writing output: Too many method references: 71848; max is 65536.

#if Playstore
    #AdditionalJar: com.google.android.gms:play-services
#end if

Thanks Erel,
after further searches i see that, with your string, my decompiled app contains the required class for retrieving advertising ID and limits using play services (as requested from Google).
Looking into the Leadbolt SDK using JDGUI i can't find anything related to calls to these Play services methods/class import (such as retrieving the advertising ID and limits) so it should work with or without play services.
i'll ask them clarifications
