I tried to implement admob into my app in the build.settings file but when I try to my app(I know I cannot see the ads in the simulator) it gives me an error that says : the following plugin could not be downloaded com.coronalabs/ CoronaProvider.ads.admob

If you are sure you are requiring the correct plugin name , then please contact support .

Any help on what to do ?

build.settings

Hi @brandont264,

It looks like you’re not using the correct plugin name in build.settings. See the AdMob plugin documentation here:

https://docs.coronalabs.com/plugin/ads-admob-v2/index.html

P.S. - For the record, it looks like you consulted old/outdated resource(s) that referred to the “V1” of AdMob, which has long since been deprecated by Google. Can you point me to the resource that you found so I can ensure it’s nothing that we published or maintain?

It’s still not showing in my app

That tutorial clearly shows this (correct):

[lua]

[“plugin.google.play.services”] =

{

    publisherId = “com.coronalabs”

},

[/lua]

You’re using this (incorrect):

[lua]

[“CoronaProvider.ads.admob”] =

{

    – required

    publisherId = “com.coronalabs”,

},

[/lua]

So where did you get the incorrect and outdated information?

#6

Thanks it shows now  :)  :slight_smile:

#7

Where do I put my ads.hide() so it won’t show when the game is playing.
