Error using cordova plugin

Question

I'm trying to show ads in a cordova app with the admob cordova plugin (from https://github.com/appfeel/admob-google-cordova ). I've been trying with:

cordova plugin add com.admob.google
cordova plugin add https://github.com/appfeel/admob-google-cordova

But I'm getting this error:

Fetching plugin "com.admob.google" via plugin registry
npm http GET http://registry.cordova.io/com.admob.google
npm http 304 http://registry.cordova.io/com.admob.google

Answer 1

I'm the maintainer of this plugin. It was a bug produced when res/values/strings.xml wasn't existing in android platform (the plugin was trying to append this file). It's been solved. Right now should work with version 1.0.7 already plublished in cordova plugin registry.

Answer 2

Try

cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-admob-simple

and see https://github.com/sunnycupertino/cordova-plugin-admob-simple for docs.
