Admob Plugin Error

cr1x · June 13, 2015, 3:02am

I am trying to intergrate AdMob v2 in a new project. Copy and pasted code from a live app running adMob but changed the app id obviously. But now I get this error

The followign plugin could not be downloaded: &nbsp; &nbsp; com.coronalabs/CoronaProvider.ads.admob If you are sure you are requiring the correct plugin name, then please contact support.

Anyone know what to do? Is it due to me having a free account now? I thought we had access to all plugins. Appreciate the help.

Can you post your build.settings file?

Are there any more errors in your console log? AdMob was always available to free accounts.

Rob

cr1x · June 13, 2015, 3:21am

In the console:

PluginSync: failed to download plugin: http://plugins.coronasphere.com/com.coronalabs/CoronaProvider.ads.admob/manifest.json

Don’t think anything else so far. Thats from the corona simulator, not device or xcode.

rob · June 13, 2015, 3:22am

Try it on a device. The simulator doesn’t support AdMob, but you shouldn’t get a download error either.

Rob

cr1x · June 13, 2015, 3:26am

I can’t even build because of the plugin error

Build failed: A device build error occurred on the server.&nbsp; BuildID: 557ba2a543f04&nbsp; Error: Get plugin failed.&nbsp; Publisher: com.coronalabs&nbsp; Plugin: CoronaProvider.ads.admob

I couldn’t built for my devices. Only simulator build.

Build failed:

A device build error occurred on the server.

BuildID: 557c186b37ce0

Error: Get plugin failed.

Publisher: com.coronalabs

Plugin: CoronaProvider.ads.admob

cr1x · June 13, 2015, 3:52pm

Fixed problem - was using wrong plugin link:

This works:

["plugin.google.play.services"] = &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; { &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; publisherId = "com.coronalabs" &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; },

rob · June 13, 2015, 7:41pm

You can’t use “CoronaProvider.ads.admob” this is the old V1 plugin which no longer exists. The new one is: “plugin.google.play.services”. Please update your build.settings file.

Rob

Yoger_Games · June 14, 2015, 8:37am

It seems like the app crashes on device if built for Amazon using Admob v2.

Since the old plugin is no longer available can you please advise on how to integrate admob with Amazon apps?

sumit.skyhigh · June 14, 2015, 9:00am

after changing

plugins =
{
[“CoronaProvider.ads.admob”] =
{
publisherId = “com.coronalabs”
},
},

to

“plugin.google.play.services”] =
{
publisherId = “com.coronalabs”
},

i’m getting the following errors after deploying the app to device,

Hi

Did you manage to fix this because i am also getting same error message despite using the latest plugin

sysads · June 14, 2015, 7:06pm

OK my fault :(, this was my initial code:

[“plugin.google.play.services”] =

{

publisherId = “com.coronalabs”,

supportedPlatforms = { android = true },

},

Then I had to remove “supportedPlatforms = { android = true },” including the coma on first line before it worked

rob · June 14, 2015, 7:08pm

What do you mean “if built for Amazon”? What device are you trying to test on?

Rob

Yoger_Games · June 14, 2015, 7:15pm

@Rob,

Built for Amazon - I mean when you choose to build for Amazon platform in Simulator.

I’ve tested on a HTC One S and an ASUS Memopad 7. The app crashes on startup. It doesn’t happen if I build for Google Play using the same code or if I use a different ad network (like chartboost) on Amazon.

Any ideas? Bug in plugin.google.play.services plugin?

rob · June 14, 2015, 8:46pm

Do the devices have Google Play installed on them?

Yoger_Games · June 14, 2015, 8:53pm

Yes.

rob · June 15, 2015, 1:17am

Before I can go to engineering with this, I’m going to need to see whatever errors are appearing on your console. I need to know what version of Corona SDK you are using and what Operating system you’re building on.

Thanks

Rob

Hey. Just for kicks, you might try downloading this file, replacing the admob ID with yours, and then try running it on your device:
