Question

I am attempting to incorporate admob ads in my app. So far I have added the following code in the onCreate method of my app\'s main activity...

    adView =          


        

Answer 1

I had this problem, and this problem too:

Multiple dex files define Lcom/google/ads/AdRequest$ErrorCode and Multiple dex files define Lcom/google/ads/AdRequest$ErrorCode

Despite many hours of following all solutions listed the only way I could get my app to work was to use the AdMob banner example here:

https://github.com/googleads/googleads-mobile-ios-examples/tree/master/admob/SmartBannerExample

And re-build my project around it, copying my files in to that project. If you are stuck, try it.

Don't know why it worked, but now it does. Something in my project was very wrong. Now I can carry on with my work. I love Google/Android, but really what a mess!
