Android Question Admob problem

[Olimpias Knitting Serbia]

Hi all, I'm using 5.80 version of b4a software and using lib admob 2.0 version

I follow this tutorial step by step:
https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/admob-tutorial-add-ads-to-your-application.7300/

And I got next errors if some one can help me it would be nice:

Did you add #additionalres line needed for google-play service?

Which Version of google-play-service do you have installed in SDK Manager? V29? A higher one (30 or above)?

yep, I have it..
#AdditionalRes: C:\Users\Peki\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\extras\google\google_play_services\libproject\google-play-services_lib\res,com.google.android.gms


Maybe I should update b4a version to 6.0?

With google pay services v31 you need B4A 6 as google has split the big jar into small pieces. B4A 6 is compatible for this new way...

Additional you can downgrade google play services to v29 and use b4a 5.8

Search the forum: there are some threads about downgrade to v29

Note that AdMob is being migrated to Firebase, the "old" way will be disabled soon. I think there are some notifications in the AdMob console.

Then i guess he should update to B4A 6 and add firebase ads to his project

Is FireBase optional for Admob or we need to completely change to Firebase to use Admob ads?

You need to switch. The API is exactly the same. It will take you 10 minutes to change to firebase.
