Error with Ti.Android.Admob and Ti.cloudpush

[albwebbergate]

Hi @deckameron I tried to use your module to implement intertstitial ads on my app compiled with titanium sdk 5.5.1.GA. I include

<modules>
        <module platform="commonjs">ti.cloud</module>
        <module platform="android">ti.imagefactory</module>
        <module platform="android">ti.cloudpush</module>
        <module platform="android">com.rkam.swiperefreshlayout</module>
        <module platform="android">ti.inappbilling</module>
        <module platform="android">ti.android.admob</module>
</modules>

ti.cloudpush version 3.4.1 ti.android.admob version 1.0

this is my tiapp.xml

<android xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

            </application>
        </manifest>
    </android>

but when i compile the app the console gave me this error

[ERROR] :  Conflicting jar files detected:
[ERROR] :  
[ERROR] :  The following modules have different "google-play-services-base.jar" files
[ERROR] :     ti.cloudpush       (version 3.4.1) (hash=68b48e0a3cb3582bd4ab0bb00625b83a)

[ERROR] :  You can either select a version of these modules where the conflicting jar file is the same or you

So I removed google-play-services-base.jar from the ti.cloudpush module (I removed also google-play-services-gcm.jar cause a subsequent error). After that the compile works but when the app launched the console log

You know some incompatibilities with this two module. I launched my app on my LG G3 with Android 6.0 Marshmallow.

What's the matter? I put something wrong in the tiapp.xml?

Thank you, Alberto

Hi @albwebbergate !

This is a very old issue with Titanium and the ONLY solution I could find. It's Proguard! It is really simple and easy to use (in this case) and the tutorial is here.

The new Titanium SDK 6.0.0 solves this issue, but since you are using 5.5.1, you will have to use Proguard to string Google Play Services the right way.

Let me know if it worked for you! :-)

I installed Proguard and I follow the tutorial but I'm not able to make it work (maybe I made some mistake following the tutorial). In the end I was able to make my app work by change the module that I use to retrive the device token on Android, I switched from ti.cloudpush to nl.vanvianen.android.gcm.

Thank you, Alberto
