Admob v6.4.1 - status?
I have seen the following things in many places.
Obsolete. On August 1, 2014, Google Play will no longer accept new or updated apps that use the old standalone Google Mobile Ads SDK version 6.6 or lower. By then, you should be upgrading to the mobile ads version of Google Play.
Yesterday (August 20, 2014) I am presenting a low traffic game as an experiment to see what happens if I use Admob v6.4.1
It works and shows ads.
I thought Google Play would block or at least I won't see ads. Is Admob v6.4.1 advertising ID compliant?
Due to the deadlines, it is difficult to switch to playback services right now. There is a layout issue in some applications.

You must use admob through the Google Play Services Library as they contain the ad ID. Ads will still work when using the Google Mobile Ads SDK v6.4.1, and while we can still publish updated apps with old banks, these apps currently violate the Google Play Store policy, which states that "August 1, 2014 , new or updated apps should not use the old standalone Google Mobile Ads SDK V6.4.1 or below.
You run the risk of suspending your game / account.
As per the official Google Play content policies :
"Use of Android Advertising ID
Google Play Services version 4.0 introduced new APIs and IDs for use by ad and analytics providers. The terms of use for these APIs and identifiers are below : "
