Cannot build empty project with MoPub Unity package!

[TheUnallied]

Title says it all. I created a new Unity Project, added the MoPubPlugin.unitypackage (latest version v3.8.0), and tried to build an APK. It says “Failed to re-package resources. See the Console for details.” In the console there are two copies of the same error:

Error building Player: CommandInvokationFailure: Failed to re-package resources. See the Console for details.

I tried to add the google play services library, but this caused its own issues and according to this quote it sounds like I should NOT need to do this:

The MoPub SDK can mediate most ad networks through our server-to-server integrations, pre-built adapters, and custom events capabilities. A full list of supported networks can be found here.

We offer pre-built adaptors for AdColony, AdMob, Chartboost, Facebook Audience Network, Millennial Media, UnityAds (interstitials only), and Vungle. To set these integrations up, follow the instructions below.

Since I’m just trying to get set up, I’m ok with doing only server-to-server ads, if it would work. I understand that I could probably manually edit the AndroidManifest.xml to include a play-services version number, but since this isn’t mentioned anywhere in the setup guide I’m thinking it isn’t the right way to go.

Also I made sure that my android tools are all up-to-date, and in Android SDK Mgr I added the Google Play Services package which wasnt installed by default. But the results are the same. I cannot build the example scene, nor can I build even an empty scene.

EDIT: Actually I didn’t need to set a GPS version to get it to build, I simply needed to delete this line from Plugins/Android/MoPub_lib/AndroidManifest.xml

<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version" android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version"/>

So it’s compiling now, but it worries me that this will cause issues later… if someone could explain why the package doesn’t compile as downloaded, I’d love to know. Thanks!

Hello!

Sorry that the Google Play Services line in your Android Manifest xml was causing you trouble! We put this line in because we recommend that publishers include the Google Play Services library, so we want to accommodate that scenario. However, it’s totally acceptable not to include it.

Best of luck and let us know if you need anything else!

Actually yes I could use some more help. I’ve now gotten things set up properly for MoPub and AdMob, however I’m having trouble with Chartboost and I can’t figure it out. It almost seems like the two sdks are out of sync.

All of this is on Android, btw.

I put the latest (6.3.0) chartboost.jar into my Assets/Plugins/Android/libs folder and when I try to request an interstitial on my device I see an error message like this:

It looks like this issue is caused by the same thing as this SO answer

I’ve tried finding older versions of the Chartboost.jar file but I’m having trouble knowing which version I’m even using, and any of the others I’ve tried create a IncompatibleClassChangeError instead of the NoSuchFieldError.

Any help would be truly appreciated, thanks!
