App crashes on startup #38

Closed blukis closed 5 years ago

blukis commented 5 years ago

My app crashes immediately on startup, built using PhoneGap Build. This wasn't happening maybe a week ago. (Suspect plugin incompatibility with the latest Admob SDK?)

I think the relevant excerpt from the Android debug log, at the crash:

Closing for now. The error remains even when I remove this plugin. Doing more homework first.....

tyshawngaines commented 5 years ago

I am getting the same issue, my app began to work again after doing cordova plugin remove cordova-plugin-admob-simple, then doing cordova clean android. No admob but the app works again.

blukis commented 5 years ago

OK, I had another plugin that also caused a very similar error. Reopening this issue, as I believe it applies to this plugin as well. (Presumably both plugins have the same issue.)

I would be happy to provide a bare-bones app that has this problem, but I'd bet including this plugin in probably any app triggers a crash on startup.

blukis commented 5 years ago

Found a workaround: the goo.gl link in the error message above refers to requiring a <meta-data> node in the ApplicationManifest.xml or this crash will happen. Inserting it manually seems to solve the crashing issue. (Add the following into the config.xml somewhere.)

<config-file parent="./application" target="AndroidManifest.xml"> <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.APPLICATION_ID" android:value="ca-app-pub-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX~XXXXXXXXXX"/> </config-file>

(Note, replace with your own app ID. It's not the same as the ad unit ID though it looks similar. Can be found at "Admob > apps > YourApp > app settings > App ID".) If this is the preferred solution, readme should be updated to reflect it, I suppose.

My previous option's was to try a different plugin but ill give this a try as well, thanks!

That works fine for me. For those who still have an (new) error when building, don't forget to add xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" attribute to the <widget> tag ;)

Thank you, berengergermain. The answer of blukis wasn't working entirely for me, but then I added that line to the widget tag at the config.xml and then my problem become solved.

and what about ios, why it does not work there

Winamp9 commented 5 years ago

Do need to use this instruction to display ads in ios? https://developers.google.com/admob/ios/quick-start
