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

<br />


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](https://www.swift.org/documentation/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](https://developers.google.com/admob/ios/migration.md.txt#swift_naming_support).

### Swift 6 Concurrency


[Swift 6 concurrency](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swift/adoptingswift6) 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](https://developers.google.com/admob/ios/rel-notes.md.txt). Check our [migration guide](https://developers.google.com/admob/ios/migration.md.txt) to ensure your mobile apps are ready to upgrade.

### SDK Deprecation Reminder


Per the [deprecation schedule](https://developers.google.com/admob/ios/deprecation.md.txt), 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](https://developers.google.com/admob/ios/deprecation.md.txt#differences) 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](https://groups.google.com/group/google-admob-ads-sdk).
