Android Question FirebaseAdmob problem with targetversion 34

[vikingivesterled]

When I compile a b4a app with FirebaseAdmob and targetversion 34, it compiles ok but when installing it to the device it says:
App not installed as package appears to be invalid

This only happens on my apps that has avertising using Admob so I took all the admob parts out of one and it installed fine.
Then when I put it back in (basically putting the AdMob stuff back in the Manifest, hooking off for library FirebaseAdmob 2, dim an AdView and Load a bannerad. it comes with the message.
Same with both versions of library FirebaseAdmob.
Downloading a new json from Firebase made no difference.


There is about 70 lines of AdMob text in the Manifest that I copied from a sample app years ago.
See details in my reply #2. Do some of that need changing?

These are the AdMob parts in the app Manifest.

'AdMob
AddApplicationText(
<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
android:value="@Integer/google_play_services_version"/>
<activity android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.AdActivity"
android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenLayout|uiMode|screenSize|smallestScreenSize"/>
)
'End of AdMob

Same with both versions of library FirebaseAdmob.

This is the admob lib that working: FirebaseAdmob2 v.3.00

There is about 70 lines of AdMob text in the Manifest that I copied from a sample app years ago.

The lib uses only one line in the manifest:

CreateResourceFromFile(Macro, FirebaseAdMob.FirebaseAds)

Check this example:

[B4XPages] Admob Example

Check this other excellent example from @Jack Cole. To help the new members to make money with B4A, I tried to compile all the relevant Admob code (except mediation) of the forum in this example and put comments and links. This is a work in progress. Any code and sample to improve this example...

That is the library i am using.
Did the changes to the manifest recommended with just the one line.
It installs but when trying to open the app it just flashes an enlarged icon for a split second and then closes and nothing gets written to the Bridgelogger.

There were a couple of more lines for the manifest in the sample:
CreateResourceFromFile(Macro, FirebaseAnalytics.GooglePlayBase)
AddReplacement($ADMOB_APP_ID$, ca-app-pub-3940256099942544~3347511713) 'Sample AdMob app ID

When I addeed them, and corrected the AdMob app id, the app opens and runs.
