Problem with the latest AddMob Plugin for Unity

[Fred Becker]

I'm using Unity 5.1.1f1 and I've download the latest version of the AdMob Plugin (Google Mobile Ads Unity Plugin v3.0.3).

Since then I'm getting the following error message:

Google.JarResolver.ResolutionException: Cannot find candidate artifact for com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:LATEST
  at Google.JarResolver.PlayServicesSupport.DependOn (System.String group, System.String artifact, System.String version) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0

I've tried to change the  svcSupport.DependOn("com.google.android.gms", "play-services-ads","LATEST") in the AdMobDependencies.cs to svcSupport.DependOn("com.google.android.gms", "play-servicesads",PluginVersion.PlayServicesVersionConstraint). And removed <activityandroid:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.purchase.InAppPurchaseActivity" android:theme="@style/Theme.IAPTheme"/> from the AndroidManifest,but it didn't work.

What can I do?

Thank you for the help!

Hi Fred,

It looks like that you are missing these libraries in your Android SDK. To fix this - 

• Open up Unity and goto Preferences -> External Tools -> Android SDK Path and make sure that it pointing to right one. Or else download it. 
• Next from your Android SDK folder and goto -> tools and open up Android.exe (Run in terminal if on Mac). Basically this would bring up your Android SDK Manager. 
• Finally download these libraries in the Extras sections -
• Google Play Services
• Android Support Library

This would fix the issue. Try to make a build again and see if you are able to deploy it on your device.

Thanks,

Hi Veer,
I've tried what you've said, but I'm still getting error messages:

Assets/PlayServicesResolver/Editor/AdMobDependencies.cs(16,83): error CS0103: The name `PluginVersion' does not exist in the current context

Assets/PlayServicesResolver/Editor/AdMobDependencies.cs(16,28): error CS1502: The best overloaded method match for `Google.JarResolver.PlayServicesSupport.DependOn(string, string, string)' has some invalid arguments

Assets/PlayServicesResolver/Editor/AdMobDependencies.cs(16,28): error CS1503: Argument `#3' cannot convert `object' expression to type `string'

What could it be?
Thanks

Hi Fred,

Would you be able to create a new project and import just the Mobile Ads plugin just for sanity check? You could also send us your sample app for us to debug the issue. The plugin is still unable to find the required Google Play Services frameworks. Would you mind printing out your EditorPrefs.GetString("AndroidSdkRoot") and checking whether it is pointing to the right Android SDK? 

Thanks,

Hi Veer,

I've created a new project and imported the plugin again, just got the message again:

Google.JarResolver.ResolutionException: Cannot find candidate artifact for com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:LATEST
  at Google.JarResolver.PlayServicesSupport.DependOn (System.String group, System.String artifact, System.String version) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0

  at AdMobDependencies..cctor () [0x00024] in G:\Games\AdTest\Assets\PlayServicesResolver\Editor\AdMobDependencies.cs:18
UnityEditor.EditorAssemblies:SetLoadedEditorAssemblies(Assembly[])

I've also printed the EditorPrefs:

C:/Users/HP/AppData/Local/Android/android-sdk
UnityEngine.MonoBehaviour:print(Object)
Edit:Start() (at Assets/Scripts/Edit.cs:9)

it is pointing to the right folder. Could it be the SDK version?

[Veer Arjun Busani(Mobile Ads SDK Team)]

Hi Fred,

The Android SDK location seems to be right. Now please make sure that you have google-play-services_lib folder at ~AndroidSDK Path -> extras -> google -> google_play_services -> libproject. The only issue here is that the plugin is unable to location the Google Play Services library. 

There is also something else that you could try. Copy over the google-play-services_lib folder into Assets -> Plugins -> Android. Then in AdMobDependencies.cs class, while initializing PlayServicesSupport, you specify the local path to that library. This time it must be able to pick up all the required dependencies.

Do let us know if this fixes the issue.

Thanks,

Hi Veer,

sorry I was away and couldn't reply.

I've tried to do what you said, and I've got:

Assets/PlayServicesResolver/Editor/AdMobDependencies.cs(17,83): error CS0103: The name `PluginVersion' does not exist in the current context

Assets/PlayServicesResolver/Editor/AdMobDependencies.cs(17,28): error CS1502: The best overloaded method match for `Google.JarResolver.PlayServicesSupport.DependOn(string, string, string)' has some invalid arguments

Assets/PlayServicesResolver/Editor/AdMobDependencies.cs(17,28): error CS1503: Argument `#3' cannot convert `object' expression to type `string

Thank you.

Hi Fred,

Would you mind removing the plugins and the Android SDK and reinstalling from scratch? One quick way to do it would be to install Android Studio and it would ensure that the Android SDK is installed over the default directory.  The other way would be to copy the Google Play Services library (~Android SDK folder -> extras -> google -> google_play_services -> libproject -> google-play-services_lib) into the Assets folder. 

Thanks,

Hi Fred,

Just so that we are clear on this, you have a Google Play Services lib project in your Assets folder? Would you mind removing that and try again? The latest Mobile Ads plugin 3.0.x comes with a Jar Resolver, which essentially means that it would load up your dependencies for you. It would look at the default path for the Android SDK for this.

Hi Fred,

I have received and looked into your project. I'm attaching you a sample project built for Unity 2D with the Mobile Ads Plugin set up. If this one still does not fix the issue, follow these steps ->

• Make a new Unity Build and import the Custom Mobile Ads Plugin Package. Also copy the GoogleMobileAdsDemoScript.cs into your Assets -> Scripts folder.
• Next make an Empty GameObject and attach the GoogleMobileAdsDemoScript.cs file as component. Make sure that you have added your Ad Unit ID in the script file.
• Next Right Click on the Assets -> Google Mobile Ads folder and select Google Play Services -> Resolve Client Jars.
• Then add your scene and go into your Android Player Settings and make sure that you update the Bundle Identifier.
• Build and Run.

Do let us know if this fixes the issue. Do not copy anything else, including the Google Play Services library.

Note: My apologies. This was in the outbox and was never sent.

Would you mind making a new build on the same drive as your Android SDK folder? Do let us know if that is causing the issue.

Sorry to take a while to answer.
 I've found the problem I needed latest versions of following packages:

1. Extras / Android Support Repository
2. Extras / Google Repository

This solved the problem for me.

Thank you for all the help!
