Flutter App Integrating AdColony with Mediation

Question

When setting up AdMob Mediation With Flutter ( firebase_admob: ^0.9.3+2) I'm getting the following error

Note: I have successfully set up the ADmob integration

I follow all the steps mentioned here : Integrating AdColony with Mediation

as per step 3, this is my app/build.gradle file

dependencies {
    implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk7:$kotlin_version"
    testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12'
    androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test:runner:1.1.1'
    androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.1.1'

    implementation 'com.google.ads.mediation:adcolony:4.1.4.1'

}

Answer 1

I was able to get the code to compile after changing the versions

this is my pubspec.yaml for firebase:

  #Firebase libary
  firebase_core: ^0.4.5
  cloud_firestore: ^0.13.6
  firebase_auth: ^0.16.1
  firebase_remote_config: ^0.3.1
  firebase_dynamic_links: ^0.5.1
  firebase_crashlytics: ^0.1.3+3
  firebase_messaging: ^6.0.16
  firebase_admob: ^0.9.3+2
  firebase_analytics: ^5.0.15

and android/app/build.gradle

dependencies {
    implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk7:$kotlin_version"
    testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12'
    androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test:runner:1.1.1'
    androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.1.1'

    implementation 'com.google.ads.mediation:adcolony:4.1.0.0' //latest version 4.1.4.1 not compatible with firebase_admob 0.9.3+2
}

com.google.ads.mediation.adcolony releases

Answer 2

Instead of downgrading the AdColony mediation adapter, I managed to get it working by manually editing the file "flutter.pub-cache\hosted\pub.dartlang.org\firebase_admob-0.9.3+2\android\build.gradle", so it gets the latest version of the Admob Android SDK:

android {
    dependencies {
        api 'com.google.firebase:firebase-ads:19.1.0'
    }
}

I have published this a month ago to the Play Store, for an app with around 100.000 MAU, and had no issue so far...

Thank Ernesto. That's a local cache though so it means you need to do it manually after installing packages right? – Huntley
