Google play services and admob problem

Hi guys,
When I add google play services plugin to my game, everything works fine, but then when I add the admob plugin, I get this warning error:

When I build the game, the app crashes before startup.

Thank you guys for your help

 

Exactly same.

 

Yep, same here. I was lucky enough to get it to work once, but I cannot get it to work again while trying to release an update to my app. Unless there is a documented solution that I can follow, I am about at the point where I will investigate using Unity Ads, using IAP, or some other non-Admob solution.

Very frustrating to say the least.

 

Actually I am using Unity 2018.3, Google PlayGamesPlugin v 0.9.57 and GoogleMobileAds v 3.15.1. I replaced them with previous versions but nothing changes. When i use only one plugin, it works. When I install them together the app doesn't even start. A pop-up window appears: unfortuanately, "app name" has stopped.

 

That is just frustrating, I mean, having to completely remove admob fom the app because of a such error ...

 

Any other suggestion would be very appreciated. I am stuck with this error and I can not carry on my project

 

Originally (last year), I followed this video and after some trial and error, it finally worked. I do admit, that it took longer than the 5 minutes indicated in the video title .

About a week ago, I tried to update my app, and re-imported admob and gpgs using this video, and I had so many problems that I just decided it wasn't worth it. I am investigating Unity Ads (although the $ made from this app is so low, I may never see a payout).

If you have any luck, please let me know. It is so frustrating that 2 Google plugins do not play nice together. I don't want to go through this every time I need to update my app.

I have solved the problem. Update the value of play services like that
play-services-ads:17.1.1 in the Assets > GoogleMobileAds > Editor > GoogleMobileAdsDependencies.xml. This changes solved my problem, I hope it works for you too.

 

did you find a solution??

 

did you import packages as it is or did you make some changes?
i changed as you said but still cant open apk

 

After lot of trying and researching I ended by deciding not to include google play services in my game. I tried every solution I could find but nothing solved it.
I wonder if the problem is due to my SDK. What are the APIs that should be installed for it to work properly ?

When importing the package try unchecking the files that are already installed by Google mobile ads package especially player resolver.

 

Solved,
The issue is the version of Google Play Service plugin, (can someone email google this problem). Delete Google Play Service plugin, reimport the version 0.9.53 in the "old-builds" folder, after import right click on PlayServiceResolver folder, Resolve for android. You don't have to change the Admob plugin.

 

You..... You, sir... ARE AMAZING.

 

Amazing.. It Worked

 

Thanks for this. I end up using a backup file and using the version you suggested.

 

This video solved this problem

 

Good afternoon.

There was a similar problem ("Some conflicting dependencies were found.").

Installed plugins:
1. GooglePlayGamesPlugin-0.9.64.unitypackage
2. GoogleMobileAds-v3.18.0.unitypackage

Found the solution as follows:
1. downloaded and installed the plugin Unity Jar Resolver separately: https://github.com/googlesamples/unity-jar-resolver/releases (play-services-resolver-1.2.121.0.unitypackage at the moment)
2. removed all dependencies: Assets -> Play Services Resolver -> Android Resolver -> Delete Resolved Libraries
3. installed dependencies again: Assets -> Play Services Resolver -> Android Resolver -> Force Resolve

After that, the game no longer crashed on the Android phone. Advertising banner (AdMob) is displayed.

Regards.

 

You saved my day, thanks! Nothing else I found worked for me, and I'd almost given up and started looking at other options for ads for now. Big kudos for posting the solution here

 

Where can i find the "old-builds" folder? I been struggling with this for weeks

EDIT: Found it, and the problem is fixed! thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaank YOU

 

Hi, Can you show detail steps?

 

Sure,

1- download latest version of Admob plugin + Imported it on unity
2- download latest version of Play services plugin but DO NOT import it on unity
3- on the downloaded files of play services plugin, go to "old-builds" then import version 0.9.53 to unity
4- Right click PlayServiceResolver and resolve android

 

Not worked for me

 

Hello i tried your solution and it's worked app stopped from crash but play service always failed to login while the green connection windows show up ... any fix please

 

same situation for me dude @chillmaze did u find any solution?. Trying to figure out this problem for 2 days :/

 

@chillmaze i solved it with this video!! so happy now

 

I have the same problem I can use either of the plugins but if used together on play authentication the app crashes. Still haven’t resolved it. I use both latest plugins on Unity 2018.4.

 

Sir, you're a GOD amongst humans

 

This should be all over the internet.
I've been haunted by this for ages.
Thank you.

As you said:
I removed everything related to google: Deleted Resolved Libraries, deledted Google Play folder, Goodle Admob folder, Plugins>Android folder. Imported Google Play Services without "External Dependencies folder". Imported Admob without External Dependencies folder and Package. Installed/imported Jar Libraries resolver (External Dependency Resolver) independently. Set up both Google Play Services and Admob. External Dependency Resolver > Force Resolve.
A detail, I had already changed the Android app signing with the Sha1 key given by Google. Still it was not working. And this was all people focused on in other forums and Q/A's.
But with this it is finally working!
THANK YOU!

 

Omo I am happy for you guys… but I am still facing this crash on start issues Unity Unity mobile ads 4.4.1 and gpgs 10.14

 

Google is a multinational company worth a billions, but at the same time it cannot write two plugins that would work in one project without problems That is not normal

 

I spent more than a week before I realized that the problem was in the proguard-user.txt file

Unity version: 2019.4
Google Mobile Ads v7.1.0
Google Play Games v10.12
