Ashley please help me out on this one : construct.net/en/forum/construct-2/bugs-21/admob-plugin-no-longer-works-c-142223

Also pyramidlakegames Ashley cranberrygame here is my example capx and ready-to-build-zip in this zip : dropbox.com/s/qw9z2ak278gk6ks/capx%26ready2buildzip.zip

Construct 2 release : R265

Test device : Samsung Galaxy J2 Core 2018 (Android 8.1.0)

Phonegap export method : construct.net/en/tutorials/build-android-apps-with-phonegap-1294

The admob banners stopped showing on my previously published game about 7 days ago. I've reached out to Admob for support as well. The app is requesting but it's not matching up / displaying.

I'm wondering if it's a non-Construct issue since I tested against previously packaged apk files that worked prior to last week.

No ads displayed but no game crashes either.

pyramidlakegames I used to have the same issues when my games used to run and the ads ended up showing a while later. Can you please tell me how you export your games so i can atleast get mine to run.

Kyatric Thanks, will definitely look into it (let's hope I dont have to be subscribed to C3). Yes, my bad for posting this in the bug section and also writing the topic in capital letters (Im sure that has killed people).

Also Im not talking about images being exported wrong, I am talking about the admob plugin which comes with C2 that calls for a 3rd party plugin by cranberrygame of which he has recently updated to have Rewarded video ads features which is causing a build error at Phonegap build. It would have been more helpful to everyone if you actually just tried to build a C2 project with that plugin with Phonegap then came back and told me if I am wrong or not

Hey guys I used to use Cocoon.io before it was shut down and had no problems with building a game which uses the Admob plugin that comes with C2. I actually used Phonegap for a while before Cocoon and it used to build without errors and that was like months ago like mid 2018. So I switched back to Phonegap like right now and using Construct R265 exporting to cordova, not touching the plugin's tag and trying to build with build.phonegap.com it fails to build with an error that says something about "Rewarded video" (of which C2 doesnt have so maybe thats what causes that build fail) so the I specify an earlier version of the plugin the config.xml making it <plugin name="cordova-plugin-ad-admob" spec="1.0.111"/>, it then builds but the apk crushes on being run like not even a sec. I keep dropping the version (while looking at its github changelog) from "1.0.111" to "1.0.108" to "1.0.103" etc and it still crushes until I reach lower versions where its not even building anymore.

Kyatric thanks. Do you need to be subcribed to C3 to do this?

Wish there was some sort of export pass in C3 for C2 users (with C2 licenses) because now with cocoon gone we are left with CLI, Phonegap, Monaca which cant provide performance needed for demanding mobile apps.

Yes, in my other post you said there's CLI and using C3 to export C2 builds. What would offer better performance? CLI method or Phonegap?

Ashley

Cocoon has shut down and it was the only export platform that gave unmatched performance. You know Phonegap build is all we are left with (on C2) and it's slow. Is there any way to accelerate performance on phonegap build?

Oh my bad, man. I was talking about C2 exports. Shoulda posted this in the C2 forums.

What compiler do you use since Cocoon shut down and all we have left is Phonegap?

Guys what do you use to accelerate your phonegap build games now that cocoon.io abandoned us?
