Closed blukis closed 5 years ago
Closing for now. The error remains even when I remove this plugin. Doing more homework first.....
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.
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.
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
Do need to use this instruction to display ads in ios? https://developers.google.com/admob/ios/quick-start
Ok thanks guys, added it to readme.

where can i find this config.xml ????
You can follow the links here https://github.com/sunnycupertino/cordova-plugin-admob-simple#coding-details-load-interstitial-first-and-show-later
"Add your app ID as described here for Android, or here for iOS."
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:
