Version 12.0.0 of the Google Mobile Ads SDK is now available. We recommend upgrading as soon as possible to get our latest features and performance improvements.
Updated Swift APIs
We’ve updated the Google Mobile Ads SDK to define an NS_SWIFT_NAME for every API to follow the naming conventions from Apple’s Swift API Design Guidelines . For example, we have:
Removed the GAD prefix across names for all types.
Renamed the GAM prefix to AdManager.
Renamed the GADM prefix to Mediation.
For the full list of Swift API name changes, see Swift naming support .
Swift 6 Concurrency
Swift 6 concurrency support is being rolled out incrementally, starting this release with added support for our ad format delegate methods. Future SDK versions will include further improvements.
Changes to Xcode requirements
The minimum supported Xcode version has been bumped to 16.0.
For the full list of changes, check the release notes . Check our migration guide to ensure your mobile apps are ready to upgrade.
SDK Deprecation Reminder
Per the deprecation schedule , the release of version 12.0.0 means that:
iOS Google Mobile Ads SDK versions 10.x.x are officially deprecated, and will sunset in Q2 2026.
Versions 9.x.x and below will sunset on June 30, 2025 .
While there are currently no plans to disable ad serving on version 9.x.x, we strongly recommend updating to a supported SDK version to avoid being impacted in the future.
As always, if you have any questions or need additional help, contact us via the developer forum .
