Error loading AdMobPlusPlugin

[ingojoseph]

Describe the bug
After installing Admob Plus Capacitor plugin with npm install @admob-plus/capacitor, and running ionic cap sync android, I get the following error when starting my Android app:

Error loading plugins.
  com.getcapacitor.PluginLoadException: Could not find class by class path: admob.plus.capacitor.AdMobPlusPlugin
  at com.getcapacitor.PluginManager.loadPluginClasses(PluginManager.java:35)
  at com.getcapacitor.BridgeActivity.onCreate(BridgeActivity.java:32)

Has anyone else got the same issue and was able to fix it?

@ingojoseph I am not sure what cause the error.
Do you see admob-plus-capacitor in android/capacitor.settings.gradle?
Or setup a test repo for me to check.

Im getting the same issue. Building to a Samsung Tab A, Android 11

android/capacitor.settings.gradle

include ':admob-plus-capacitor'
project(':admob-plus-capacitor').projectDir = new File('../node_modules/@admob-plus/capacitor/android')

The error Im getting in android studio:

Error loading plugins.

A follow up - when I install this all other capacitor plugins are also no longer available (Device, FileSystem, Network etc). Uninstall and the plugins are available again.

I have also a problem with the capacitor plugin.

I get this error message:

File: https://localhost/main.da3c3b98d4af59fb.js - Line 1 - Msg: ERROR Error: Uncaught (in promise): Error: "AdMobPlus" plugin is not implemented on android
Error: "AdMobPlus" plugin is not implemented on android

When the AdMobPlus plugin is installed all the other capacitor plugins are not working anymore.
Without the plugin everything is fine.

Here is a small basic example: https://github.com/kisimediaDE/IonicTest
It has just the basic template for "Ionic - Tab" and then outputs the info of the App plugin in the explore-container and should show a banner (app.component.ts)

Without AdMobPlus the App plugin is working as expected. With this plugin is not working anymore.

I can also confirm this issue. It started happening after the update from Capacitor 3 to Capacitor 4.

Does anyone have any alternative plugins that they would recommend while this gets sorted out?

[EYALIN]

@Lpn01 @kisimediaDE you can use my forked plugin "community-admob-plus-cordova"
https://github.com/EYALIN/community-admob-plus/tree/master/packages/cordova

people here approved it is worked with Capacitor as well

[Lpn01]

@EYALIN Thanks for the suggestion. I already switched to @capacitor-community/admob and I'm still testing it to see if I'm happy with the way it works. I'm considering your plugin as well.

How to fix: Go back to using admob plus version 1.24.0.
