Hi @shakilhadir,

The build.settings file is a series of Lua tables and nested tables. Somewhere in yours, you did not properly close a table or nest a table with the necessary closing bracket. Please go through very carefully and check for this.

The following tutorial may help you on this topic:

I saw this link, But I don’t know error I try my best to solve this problem I spent more than 8hours but I am not able to solve this problem, as per my knowledge no bracket is remaing after tables, kindly look it carefully may be you help me to find out error I failed to find thanks.

You have an extra { in the line just before you include admob. 

Now on the subject of admob, you’re loading the V1 plugin which is no longer available.  You need to update this to use the V2 plugin:

The red { in your post below is what needs to be removed.

#7

If I removed { before ad mob as you mentioned then this error occured (com.coronalab/coronaprovicer.ads.admob and error a plugin could not be downloaded etc Dear bro I already did this but still error, and error only in build.setting not in Main.lua any other solution? I tried all article on net on corona lab but I can’t find the solution of this error, actually I really can’t understand the nature of error, I repeat your method again then I got admob error as I wrote upper line so what I do now?

#8

Yes.  The admob plugin you are trying to load no longer exists and must be updated before you can continue.  I mentioned it above.  Please update your build settings to remove the existing admob plugin and use the code listed here:

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

instead.
