Google AdSense for Android app stops working

Google AdSense for Android app stops working

Google stated that AdSense for Android or iOS was “sunsetting” in 2019, and users were told to review their online advertising earnings via the website. The native Android app worked fine up to this week, but now it is dead.

AdSense for iPhone has stopped working on the last day. Regrettably, Google did not include a deprecation notice.

The app opens on 08/13/2021 with a yellow spinner. It eventually switches to “No Data” and the AdSense logo. This logo was never updated to reflect the new style, which uses pill-shaped lines and adds a little green to complement yellow and blue.

You will also receive an “Error occurred. Try again later” toast message. This problem of empty stats is not solved by clearing cache/storage. The app was removed from both the App Stores in April 2020. You can’t delete or reinstall it.

This shutdown was initially supposed to occur two years ago, but it was delayed in typical Google fashion. AdSense for Android, iOS and Google-wifi-app would also be discontinued in 2019 by the company. However, the app continued to work generally up until this week.

AdSense is a great web-based option, and it’s much more modern. However, you don’t have home screen widgets or a handy icon. This creates a shortcut that preserves the regular browser UI.

AdSense for iOS is still in operation. However, Google will likely make any changes to Android’s platform that is made to Android soon.

Why might router parental-control rules miss a Pixel phone?

A router schedule can appear ineffective when it is attached to a stale device entry. On a Pixel phone, the address used for a particular Wi-Fi network may be a randomized address rather than the hardware address shown elsewhere in device information. Google documents finding the randomized MAC address in the current network's settings. Compare that value privately with the router's active client record. Do not rely only on a generic label such as Android or an old device name.

What if one Android app fails while websites still work?

If only one Android app stops loading while ordinary websites work, the router is carrying at least some traffic successfully. Begin with the failing app and service combination. A whole-network reset can remove useful settings without explaining why this particular task failed. Distinguish a connection timeout from a sign-in failure, content restriction or service error. Check the application's official status or support information when available. An account problem can look like a network problem if the app uses a vague loading screen.

Should one laptop use Android USB tethering or a Wi-Fi hotspot?

For one laptop during a broadband outage, Android USB tethering and a Wi-Fi hotspot are two possible ways to use the phone's mobile connection. The best choice depends on the actual computer and phone, not a guarantee that one method always produces a faster internet result. Google documents USB, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi tethering on supported Android phones, with carrier restrictions possible. Its general guidance specifically notes that Mac computers cannot use Android USB tethering through that standard workflow. Check the current instructions for your exact devices.

What should I check when Quick Share cannot find my Windows PC?

When an Android phone cannot find a Windows computer in Quick Share, the first problem is discovery. Changing the router's channel or purchasing a faster adapter is premature until the two devices can identify each other. Google provides Quick Share for supported Windows computers and directs Samsung PC owners to Samsung's version in Microsoft Store. Check the current requirements for your processor and Windows version. Use the official download route rather than an unrelated file-sharing utility with a similar name.
