I got this error;

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
Task :App:mergeReleaseResources

                FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
                
                * What went wrong:
                Execution failed for task ':App:processReleaseManifest'.
                > Manifest merger failed : uses-sdk:minSdkVersion 15 cannot be smaller than version 16 declared in library [com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:19.3.0] /Users/baykal/.gradle/caches/transforms-2/files-2.1/71b73b1657c564a1d0f51c1f8115f372/jetified-play-services-ads-19.3.0/AndroidManifest.xml as the library might be using APIs not available in 15
                  	Suggestion: use a compatible library with a minSdk of at most 15,
                  		or increase this project's minSdk version to at least 16,
                  		or use tools:overrideLibrary="com.google.android.gms.ads.impl" to force usage (may lead to runtime failures)
                
                * Try:
                Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output. Run with --scan to get full insights.

It seems it is about the AdMob plugin. Help is greatly appreciated.

Did you try to do what it suggests?

#3

You mean this;

tools:overrideLibrary="com.google.android.gms.ads.impl

I have no idea how to achieve that tbh.

#4

It’s literally telling you that you are using a library that requires minSdkVersion of 16 for Android, but you are currently using the default minSdkVersion of 15. You need to bump it to 16.

#5

That library is AdMob plug-in I think. How I can increase minsdk of that I have no idea. I just use the sample code given here:https://docs.coronalabs.com/plugin/admob/index.html
