Incompatible with admob sdk about play-games-plugin-for-unity HOT 15 CLOSED

I just wanted to update this so everyone knows. That the latest version of the official admob-plugin works perfectly with play game services!

No need to fix the jar files anymore, plus you need the new one to continue using admob after august(2014).

Use the admob-plugin from this location:
https://github.com/googleads/googleads-mobile-plugins/

Best Regards!

Could you include additional details? The dex is probably failing because both our JAR and the AdMob jar are probably including the same libraries, leading to duplicates. Could you please attach the full logs here? Thanks!

I had this issue as well. But there is a simple temporary fix for this.
As jar-files are pretty much zip files. You can do the following:
Open the google-play-services.jar in ..\Assets\Plugins\Android\google-play-services_lib\libs

This one contains the same references as GoogleAdMobAdsSdk-6.4.1.jar, which you need for admob.

So delete these files from google-play-services.jar, as the game service is not using them.

After that everything will work in the build process! Also remember to forward the native events to the correct process, or the ads won't be clickable, in the androidmanifest.

I'm having the same issue, if I have "GoogleAdMobAdsSdk-6.4.1.jar" and "google-play-services.jar" in the same project.
JEOptimal I don't understand how do you fix it

He said he opened the google services lib jar file as zip, and deleted the subfolders concerning ads in it. Then the conflicts with admob are gone.
The issue is that admob has been merged into the latest version of the google services lib, so if you use both, there's duplicates.

But in any case I don't think it's OK to do that, because from what I see on Google's website, they're now only allowing the new google services lib for ads, and not admob anymore. Not sure your app will pass if you use admob standalone.

Also remember to forward the native events to the correct process, or the ads won't be clickable, in the androidmanifest.

Can you explain how to do that ?
I use my own jar plugin to integrate AdMob and other ad providers. I removed GoogleAdMobAdsSdk, and made changes in the code to use ads from Play Services jar, all compiles good, I see ad banner, but it not clickable.
I added in Manifest:
meta-data android:name="unityplayer.ForwardNativeEventsToDalvik" android:value="true"
But with no result.

The solution of JEoptimal works perfectly. Thanks!

from play-games-plugin-for-unity.

Did implement solution given by JEoptimal but still cannot solve the issue. Other than the two ads folder in the google-play-services.jar is there anything else that has to deleted to get this working?

Simply remove your old Java Installation from Computer, Double Check you have installed multi Java installation in computer.

@JEOptimal thanks a lot. It worked for me. Actually, in the new version of the Google Play Games plugin, they seperated play-services-ads.aar as a different aar file. Removing it just from build (uncheck the Android in import settings) solves the problem.
