ARTICLE AD BOX
As soon as I add
MobileAds.initialize(this)The dynamic color update does not work anymore.
When I switch the OS color palette and go back to the app, the colors do not update. I need to restart the app to get the update. When I comment the above line out, it works.
I can reproduce this by:
Using an Pixel 8 API 35 emulator
creating a new blank project in Android Studio
add implementation("com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:25.1.0")
Add some sample AdMob ID
<!-- Sample AdMob App ID: ca-app-pub-3940256099942544~3347511713 --> <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.APPLICATION_ID" android:value="ca-app-pub-3940256099942544~3347511713"/>Add this to MainActivity onCreate
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState) val systemColor = this.getColor(android.R.color.system_accent1_500) Log.d("MainActivity", "ColorCheck onCreate. systemColor $systemColor") MobileAds.initialize(this)Now, when I return to the app after OS color palette switch, the log always prints the same value, as long as I restart the app.
Without the MobileAds initialization, it works fine.
I found this google groups post for the same issue. But it seems like the support was shut down and also there was apparently no progress since one year.

Does anyone have a clue how this issue could be circumvented?
Edit: Now I saw also this thread which could be the underlying issue: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/382864248
Also for me it works on Android 14 as well as Android 16 emulators, but not on Android 15.
