App crash on launch.

Questions & Answers

Hi, my android application closes directly even before the splash image. Everything works fine in the editor. Before having the error I deleted the admob and firebase plugins since no ads were shown in my app (I have made a couple of apps and the code works perfectly).

I re-imported the admob and firebase plugins and now the application closes immediately. I don’t know if I deleted something that I shouldn’t have. I have my app ID set in the Google Mobile Ads settings. Everything is as before, and it should work.

I have connected my phone to Logcat and I get the following errors:

E/AndroidRuntime: FATAL EXCEPTION: main

Ahhh I found it.
Had the same issue with 6.1.2.
Looks like there is an error in the code.
In your plugin folder rename “GoogleMobileAdsPlugin” to “GoogleMobileAdsPlugin.androidlib”
Then build. You will see some scripts making errors. Replace in the scripts again “GoogleMobileAdsPlugin” to “GoogleMobileAdsPlugin.androidlib”.
Build again . Now it works.

Have fun
Roberto
