Build Error #1

aclementerodrguez · March 23, 2023, 8:46am

When I’m trying to create the android build for one of my apps I receive the below simulator error, nevertheless when I remove the notifications plugin from build.settings the build is created ok.
The last time I updated this app was a month ago.

Below is my build.settings file and also the error I got in the Solar2D simulator.

build.settings file

There were a bunch of updates to the notifications plugin at the beginning of February. You might try forcing the plugin back to v11 and see if that lets you build.

["plugin.notifications.v2.firebase"] = {
            publisherId = "com.coronalabs",
            version = "v11",
        },

aclementerodrguez · March 23, 2023, 7:01pm

Thank you @colinmorgan , I’ll try this…
I was able to update some of my other games, but the only difference is that the others have implemented the plugins “plugin.google.iap.billing.v2” and “plugin.admob”. So, my point is: could be the ausence of this plugins (or one of them) in my current game causing something that interfere with the notification plugin? I think you should take a look at this @vlads

aclementerodrguez · March 23, 2023, 7:08pm

Doesn’t work. I get the same error …

aclementerodrguez · March 24, 2023, 6:26am

I’ve re-check it and is obvious that the notification plugin is the cause of this error.
I have been able to build my game if I remove the notification plugin. This demonstrate that the notification plugin can’t be used without other Google plugins like Admob or billing.

aclementerodrguez · March 24, 2023, 6:40am

UPDATE:

I’ve registered my game in Admob (although I will never used it because my game is a paid app) and then I set up my build.settings with the Admob plugin, and now I’ve been able to create my build, so I’ve demonstrated that you can’t use the notification plugin without Admob plugin.

colinmorgan · March 24, 2023, 9:19am

As part of adding AdMob, does your build.settings file now include meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.APPLICATION_ID" in applicationChildElements? I didn’t see it in the original posting of your build.settings. If so, you might try a build with AdMob commented out but leaving the APPLICATION_ID in case that was the missing piece of the puzzle.

I tried this build.settings(and tried adding admob) and seems to build okay?

aclementerodrguez · March 25, 2023, 5:04am

You didn’t see it in my previous post because as I said before, I wasn’t using Admob in my app, but I decided to include because if not the notifications plugin cause me that issue.

aclementerodrguez · March 25, 2023, 5:05am

Did you have been able to create the build with this code without inserting the Admob plugin?

colinmorgan · March 25, 2023, 9:52am

I did see that.

Usually adding the AdMob plugin also means adding your APPLICATION_ID to the applicationChildElements table in build.settings. If that was the case- i.e. you added an APPLICATION_ID, and it hadn’t been there before, I was wondering if the important part of adding AdMob might have been the inclusion of an APPLICATION_ID in build.settings, and not the AdMob plugin itself.

Just a thought.

---------EDIT----------

Sorry- I had forgotten that since you are using Firebase, you’ll be have
useGoogleServicesJson = true.

My thought still stands: If, in the process of setting up AdMob, you added "admob_app_id": "ca-app-pub-your google ad id" to your google-services.json file, that might be what’s making it work now, not the presence of the AdMob plugin.

Scott_Harrison · March 25, 2023, 11:58am

Yes, was able to create a build with just that build.settings and no Admob

anon63346430 · March 26, 2023, 12:32am

I use notifications without AdMob also… without any issues

But, I just the standard notifications plugin… do you need push notification or just local?

If only local then use the correct plugin.

aclementerodrguez · March 28, 2023, 6:28am

I understand your analysis, but i didn’t update my google-services.json file.

aclementerodrguez · March 28, 2023, 6:30am

That is strange, i don’t understand what is wrong with my build then.
