android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenLayout|uiMode|screenSize|smallestScreenSize"

screenSize & smallestScreenSize attributes are not available in SDK 10.They are been introduced in API level 13.

But... that means my app will not work in Gingerbread, right?:-( – yukatta Mar 08 '14 at 22:52
This does not mean you will loose compatibility with gingerbread @Yavierre. Target SDK is just the compiler that runs on your code. The "minimum SDK level" is the furtherest back your app will be compatible with. – Diederik Nov 20 '15 at 14:26

Make sure you have the latest copy of the Android SDK and that you're compiling against at least Android v3.2 (set target in project.properties to android-13).
The Google Mobile Ads SDK for Android requires a run-time of Android 2.3 or later (set android:minSdkVersion to at least 9 in your AndroidManifest.xml). This means you can develop with the latest version of the Android SDK and your app will still run on an earlier Android version (2.3 minimum).
