> [@lrx](#): > > it is not clear to me what dependencies to add in build.gradle to make it work properly The dependencies should be listed in the official AdMob documentation: > **[Set up Google Mobile Ads SDK  |  Android  |  Google for Developers](https://developers.google.com/admob/android/quick-start)** > > Set up Google Mobile Ads SDK for Android to monetize your app. The example on that page shows this: ``` dependencies { implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar']) implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.0.2' implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:18.3.0' } ``` And I believe that what you need is only the `com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads` dependency in the build.gradle file for the AdMob extension. Ignore the other two lines. ``` dependencies { implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:18.3.0' } ``` Version 18.3.0 does however use AndroidX and that could cause a conflict with other extensions (maybe). In that case you can try an older version of `com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads`. Available versions can be seen here for instance: [https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.google.android.gms/play-services-ads](https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.google.android.gms/play-services-ads) ---

My apologize for the following maybe stupid question. I am using 1.2.164 and the editor show me “Update Available”. Is this 1.2.165 or just the Beta? I have never downloaded a Beta and I would prefer not. Thanks! ---

In your “About” dialog, you should see channel: `editor-alpha` which is the up-to-date editor changes, together with the latest engine release (1.2.164). Clicking the `Update` button will give you the next release in that channel. You can check the about dialog afterwards to confirm. ---

I am sorry, but probably I am missing something. With “Update Button” do you mean the text “Update Available” in the right bottom corner of the editor? (Just to confirm: I read “editor-alpha” and “1.2.164” as engine release) ---

> [@Mathias\_Westerdahl](#): > > # Build server > > Note that the beta builds should use the beta server: [https://build-stage.defold.com](https://build-stage.defold.com) On Windows this setting is shared 😈 by all version of Defold Editor I’ve changed it in 1.2.165 beta, but it appears also in 1.2.164 😅 ---

Yeah, but it seems that even with `build-stage`, building with NEs on 1.2.164 will work correctly, so unless it causes issues, I’ll leave it like that. ---

> [@roccosaienz](#): > > I am using 1.2.164 and the editor show me “Update Available”. @mats.gisselson pushed an editor fix yesterday and that fix should go straight to production. This is probably why you have an update. ---

_`40e9ca1299d22eed12bb0148ed117f418162cb19`_ Released a new beta right now with a fix for [this issue](https://github.com/defold/editor2-issues/issues/2896) where the android resources in the `project.bundle_resources` weren’t used. Also, even failed builds now output a `log.txt`file from the extender server, in the `/build//log.txt` ---

> [@Mathias\_Westerdahl](#): > > The beta period will be 2 weeks and the next planned stable release is February 3nd. The planned release of 1.2.165 has run into an Apple Notarization issue ([Update to Notarization Prerequisites - Latest News - Apple Developer](https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=12232019a)). We are working to resolve the problem and hope to release tomorrow instead. [Previous page](https://forum.defold.com/t/defold-1-2-165-beta/64307.md?page=1)
