Android. failed to re-package resources

Questions & Answers

I keep trying to build my android version and can’t seem to get it to work. I’ve checked for other solutions online and none of them seem to work. I updated all my android SDKs and the latest version of unity but that doesn’t seem to solve the problem, does anyone have any ideas on how to possibly solve it?

I was working through this same issue last week. I found a unity answer that helped me.

I downloaded the .zip and grabbed the version.xml file out of /res/values. Then in my project I created a /res/values folder inside the GoogleMobileAdsPlugin folder and dropped version.xml in there.

I did all of this…but my app would crash when requesting an ad. I dug through logcat and saw there was an issue with the version number inside version.xml. The exception said something along the lines of “expecting XXXXXXX but instead found YYYYYYY”. So I copied the expected value out of the error message and pasted it into version.xml and that did the trick. My game is showing ads and everything seems fine.

I also found this video to be super helpful. It goes over the whole process.
