and here is my android manifests code -

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!--
This Google Mobile Ads plugin library manifest will get merged with your
application's manifest, adding the necessary activity and permissions
required for displaying ads.
-->
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

and here is the code for the script  i m using to implement ads on it -

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using GoogleMobileAds;
using GoogleMobileAds.Api;


public class LevelManager : MonoBehaviour {


 public void LoadLevel(string name){
 Debug.Log ("New Level load: " + name);

 Application.Quit ();
 }
 
 public void LoadNextLevel() {
 Brick.breakableCount = 0;
 Application.LoadLevel(Application.loadedLevel + 1);
 }
 
 public void BrickDestoyed() {
 if (Brick.breakableCount <= 0) {
 LoadNextLevel();
 }
 }
}


public class GoogleMobileAdsDemoScript : MonoBehaviour

 private BannerView bannerView;
 
    public void Start()
 {

#endif


 // Initialize the Google Mobile Ads SDK.
 MobileAds.Initialize(appId);


 this.RequestBanner();
 }


 private void RequestBanner()
 {
#if UNITY_ANDROID
 string adUnitId = "ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/6300978111";

#else
            string adUnitId = "unexpected_platform";
#endif


 // Create a 320x50 banner at the top of the screen.


 AdSize adSize = new AdSize(320, 100);
 bannerView = new BannerView(adUnitId, AdSize.Banner, AdPosition.Top);


 bannerView.Destroy();


 // Create an empty ad request.
 AdRequest request = new AdRequest.Builder().Build();


 // Load the banner with the request.
 bannerView.LoadAd(request);
 }


 private void RequestInterstitial()

 // Create an empty ad request.

 // Load the interstitial with the request.

    }
}

please solve this problem.

Hi Durgesh,

Thank you for providing the error logs captured and other helpful details.

The error logs captured seem to suggest that there are some mismatch between manifest files that prevented them from merging properly and resulted to the build error.

Looking at your manifest file for the plugin, you seem to have added these additional snippets which should only be implemented when you are building using Unity 4. That said, could you confirm which Unity IDE version are you using to build your app?

For us to have a better look on this, could you provide to us privately (using Reply privately to author option) the Unity project you are trying to build where you encountered the build error so we can test it on our end?

On our end, I tested our HelloWorld example app and I was able to build it successfully. I didn't modify the plugin's manifest file anymore because I'm building the app using Unity 2018.1.1f1.

Regards,

Ivan Bautista

Hi Durgesh,

Thank you for your patience and for providing to us a copy of your project. We were able to receive the private email you've sent using the Reply privately to author option. Also, we deleted your response in this public thread containing the link to your sample project.

I tested your Unity project on my end and I was able to build and run the game successfully without getting the merging error you've encountered on your end. 

Is it possible for you to try building our HelloWorld example app on your end and see if you get the same build error?

Hi Durgesh,

I’m Ivan's colleague and I’ll be assisting you on this.

Thanks for getting back to us with additional helpful information.

Looking at the errors from the screenshot you've shared to us, it seems you haven't imported the Mobile Ads Unity plugin in the HelloWorld sample app. That said, please refer to this guide on how to download and import the Mobile Ads Unity plugin.

On the other hand, could you provide the complete error logs you've received while trying to load Ads using your app?

I am also facing the same issue while building an apk. for Admob Project. Have tried everything so far but still stuck at this very point. Can anyone help with this?

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out to us.

Could you provide to us the complete error logs you've received when trying to build your Unity project? Also, could you try to build our HelloWorld sample app on your end and see if you will encounter the same error?

On the other hand, we can try to build your Unity project on our end, if you will send it to us privately using the Reply privately to author option.
