Android 12 Google Advertising ID ,ADID, Family App Permission Handling
September 01, 2022
When Google announced the Android 12 version, it announced a change in the content that “in order to collect Google advertising identifiers, you need to add a separate permission”
In Android 12, a separate permission has been added to obtain a Google Advertising ID. Definery customers must add the following permissions
You cannot obtain a Google Advertising ID from an app without permission
<manifest>
...
<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID" />
...
</manifest>
However, Family apps, that is, as per Google policy, apps intended for children must not send advertising IDs
Children’s apps targeting Android 13 (API 33) or higher should add a revocation declaration to their manifest to prevent permissions being merged into the app
<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID"
tools:node="remove"/>
