Hi @BirioGames , from reading the Exception message it seams like the AdMob plugin class is not being added into you final Apk after you export it. Are you including the plugin in your final export?

I would suggest as @Shin-NiL has stated on the readme, that you should first export the project without the plugin first and then test it with.

this plugin is Android only, so the AdMob Java singleton will only exists on the Android platform. In other words, you will be able to run it on an Android device (or emulator) only, it will not work on editor or on another platform; make sure you checked the Use Custom Build and Godot Ad Mob options in the export window.

so are have you done that ?

[Biri0]

this?

[kamyabnazari]

@BirioGames yes that is right and have you configured your AndroidManifest.xml cause:

every time you install a new version of the Android Build Template this step must be done again, as the AndroidManifest.xml file will be overridden.

and also the custom build compiles without any problem right?

[Biri0]

yes, I added the app ID to the AndroidManifest.xml file

[kamyabnazari]

Alright, I will create a new sample project and test the problem at hand, I will let you know what the problem is. I will send you the project details as images inside of this issue.

[kamyabnazari]

Ok, I have tested it and it works on my side.

1. Try to get the demo project first and test on that
2. Do the Setup process as stated and add your App ID to your manifest <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.APPLICATION_ID" android:value="ca-app-pub-55555555555~111111111"/> between

   <manifest>
   <application>
   here
   </application>
   </mainfest>

Just try the Demo project first, if it does work. then it has something to do with the way your Godot project is setup.

I have created both my own project and used the demo project and both work.

[Biri0]

The project I tested is a demo project with only one scene and the AdMob node. I added the app ID in the last line before

[kamyabnazari]

On what AVD are you testing?

Can you send the AndroidManifest.xml (make up your id while you send it) and also the project.godot?

i am using smartphone

project.godot:

remove this line from project.godot:

[android]

modules="org/godotengine/godot/GodotAdMob

and start again. This plugin load through the custom android template and not as godot module.

I have recreated the problem and that seems to be the problem.

so delete that line from your project.godot file and it should work 👍

[Biri0]

thanks! it works perfectly

[kamyabnazari]

Awesome have fun and good luck with your project 👍
