Intel XDK build failed AdMob plugin failed to install

Been trying to build my game with intermittent problems.

Sometimes it's one plugin, sometimes it's another. The latest build fail is because of AdMob. It shows the plugin in plugin management, but i get this error:

Build Log

Building a Cordova 6.2.0 application.

Using platform cordova-android 5.1.1.

The application name is "(omitted)"

The package name is "com.(omitted)"

Preference android-signed set to true. Application will be signed.

Using Crosswalk Embedded 19

Error: Unable to build; intelxdk.config.additions.xml file includes plugin tags, which are no longer supported. Use the Intel XDK plugin manager to resolve this issue. See https://software.intel.com/en-us/xdk/do ... lugin-tags

Error: Could not retrieve plugin dependencies for Cordova AdMob plugin'.

Error: Plugin Cordova AdMob plugin failed to install.

Plugin "cordova-plugin-device" (1.1.2) installed.

Plugin "cordova-plugin-statusbar" (2.1.3) installed.

Plugin "cordova-plugin-payment-iap" (2.0.52) installed.

Plugin "cordova-plugin-extras-google-play-services" (1.0.5) installed.

Plugin "cordova-plugin-game" (1.0.120) installed.

Plugin "cordova-plugin-whitelist" (1.2.2) installed.

Plugin "cordova-plugin-crosswalk-webview" (1.8.0) installed.

Why would the build fail if the plugin is currently in plugin management?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

You must delete the line of code inside additions xml file and add the needed plugin with the plugin management interface: https://github.com/cranberrygame/cordov ... n-ad-admob

He is right, you find a guide for that here.

Thanks for the reply. One problem is my additions.xml file looks different than the others that i have seen in posts/tutorials.

This is what mine looks like:

<!-- Change the debuggable preference to true to build a remote CDT debuggable app for -->

<!-- Crosswalk apps on Android 4.0+ devices and Cordova apps on Android 4.4+ devices. -->

<preference name="debuggable" value="false" />

I am only building for Android at this time, and have these plugins installed under plugin management:

Device

InAppBrowser

Google Play Services

(Cranberrygame

Cordova IAP

Cordova AdMob

Cordova Game

)

Another problem i have is finding the correct url under the git repo tab. I tried a few, but they still would not install, or XDK says no longer supported.

Are you using the last version of Intel XDK, and NOT using the xdk project format when youre exporting from C2?

Yes and Yes.

I actually got it working. Tested and ads show. My problem was (cause of my situation, being tired and in a rush) i saw the plugin already under plugin management after opening the intel xdk project, so i thought it was fine.

All you have to do, i found out, is to remove it from the plugin by clicking the minus sign to the left, then adding the git link under git repo. and voilà. No need to actually go in to the additions xml file. At least i didn't.

Thanks for the reply, though.

Nice ^^

I have this error when build IOS app with Intelxdk 3759:

CompileC build/Tom\ Cat\ Escape\ Run.build/Release-iphoneos/Tom\ Cat\ Escape\ Run.build/Objects-normal/armv7/AdMobPlugin.o Tom\ Cat\ Escape\ Run/Plugins/cordova-plugin-ad-admob/AdMobPlugin.m normal armv7 objective-c com.apple.compilers.llvm.clang.1_0.compiler

(1 failure)

I already added the cordova-plugin-ad-admob in padd 3rd party plugin section.

How to I solve this?

Did you add the plugin with git repo and add the application ID in the variable?
