@warfronts Is this still happening for you? We updated to the latest SDKs and AppLovin adapter and the crash is still happening on our side

Hey James, Since the crash i removed the Applovin from my network bidding. I can’t take this risk. If it is still happening then it is not solved.

I had the same issue and wasn’t able to make it work with the current AppLovin version. But I was able to solve the crash and keep AppLovin by downgrading the ironSource adapter.
Just change the 2 android dependencies in the ISAppLovinAdapterDependencies.xml file to com.ironsource.adapters:applovinadapter:4.3.42 and com.applovin:applovin-sdk:12.3.1
I’m pretty sure ironSource hasn’t made the adjustments that came with AppLovin sdk version 12.4: New SDK Initialization API | Android / Amazon | Support Center | AppLovin

Any news? Just reported to IS

We see those crashes as well and had to downgrade AppLovin SDK and Adapeter to the previous version available with IS to solve the issue.

8

I found that setting minSdkVersion 24 or higher resolved this issue.

Was having the same issue with min sdk set to 23, I can confirm that setting it to 24 fixes it.
