Android Question FirebaseAdMob meta-data error

[kingofducks]

Hi everyone, I wanted to use the FirebaseAdMob library in my app and have followed the tutorial in the following thread https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...tegrated-with-firebase-backend.67710/#content .

I must have done something bad because I end up with this error :

java.lang.IllegalStateException: A required meta-data tag in your app's AndroidManifest.xml does not exist.  You must have the following declaration within the <application> element:     <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version" android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />

I used this code :

Sub Process_Globals

End Sub

Sub Globals
   Private BannerAd As AdView
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
   BannerAd.Initialize2("BannerAd", "ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/6300978111", BannerAd.SIZE_SMART_BANNER)
   Dim height As Int
   If GetDeviceLayoutValues.ApproximateScreenSize < 6 Then
    'phones
    If 100%x > 100%y Then height = 32dip Else height = 50dip
   Else
    'tablets
    height = 90dip
   End If
   Activity.AddView(BannerAd, 0dip, 100%y - height, 100%x, height)
   BannerAd.LoadAd
End Sub

If someone could please point out what I'm doing wrong, I think I should add something in the manifest but I'm not really sure what, thanks in advance.
