Help! Can't build project after trying to use Google Play Services!

I have no idea what I did, all I did was try to use the Ad plugin from google for my android project. After putting it in my project and trying to build I get this error.

Code (csharp):

1. Error building Player: CommandInvokationFailure: Failed to re-package resources. See the Console for details.
2. C:\Users\Bryan\Desktop\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20131030\sdk\build-tools\android-4.4\aapt.exe package --auto-add-overlay -v -f -m -J gen -M AndroidManifest.xml -S "res" -I "C:/Users/Bryan/Desktop/adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20131030/sdk/platforms/android-19\android.jar" -F bin/resources.ap_

Hi!

I had the same problem, after install Google Play Services from SDK Manager I followed the instruction of the question:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19843784/google-play-services-library-update-and-missing-symbol-integer-google-play-serv
It's not the best solution but works.

I would like to know a better way to fix this.

 

I found a better solution:
Copy google-play-services_lib folder to Plugins/Android, so you don't have to hard code Google Play Service's value.
https://github.com/googleads/googleads-mobile-plugins/issues/11

 

Thanks, that helped. I accidentally imported the root folder of google-play-services_lib into the project. Now the error is gone.

 

You do not have to add the entire folder!
you only need to add the version.xml file to your project: (the version.xml file contains the missing Integer value that the compiler complains about)
1. get the version.xml file from you android-sdk path. for me, its located here:
C:\Android\android-sdk\extras\google\google_play_services\libproject\google-play-services_lib\res\values\versions.xml

2. place the version.xml file in your project:
Assets\Plugins\Android\res\values\version.xml

 

Thanks that helped

 

Thanks Chip, that worked, it does give me a warning that it's obsolete now, precisely:

"OBSOLETE - Providing Android resources in Assets/Plugins/Android/res is deprecated, please move your resources to an Android Library. See "Building Plugins for Android" section of the Manual.
UnityEditor.HostView:OnGUI()"

But at least it can build for now

 

Thank you
you are right ^_^

 

I had the same problem and I just did the following (In unity):
"Google Play Games --> Setup --> Android Setup" process which solved this (by creating the setup file for the play services).
This solved the issue in my case.

 

Thanks so much! Have been pulling my hair out trying to solve a string of strange build issues, this was the last piece of the puzzle.

 

So I'm trying to follow through this, and in our Google Play Games folder, there is no Setup folder

Also, we are lacking libproject

Every tutorial we have found requires us to have this, and we can't run our project now

 

I join to the problem... just installed the Android SDK and I keep missing a decent documentation that explain what version I should download. I downloaded the 5.0.1 (API 21) and in the build settings I set that as minimum requirement. When I compile, Unity complains that minimum requirement is 6.0 (API 23). Why? So I installed that too, plus all the extras... a total of 48 GB!

After 12 hours of setup and failed compilations the result is:
Error: No resource found that matches the given name (at 'value' with value '@Integer/google_play_services_version'
And I can't find any version.xml file in any folder of android sdk to copy here and there...

But the main question is why did I pay for android pro licence??? To have this wonderful experience?!
So now I will have probably to wait for some update that will fix this (hopefully) and introduce new bugs...
Very tired of this...

 

At the end I found this:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!category-topic/google-admob-ads-sdk/game-engines/djySAXCZ7HE
And following those steps I was able to compile... what a mess!

 

If nothing helps (like for me), the file you need "version.xml " lies in play-services-basement-11.0.2.aar (version can be different).
All you need is to copy play-services-basement-11.0.2.aar from "ANDROID_SDK/extras/google/m2repository/com/google/android/gms/play-services-basement/11.0.2/"
(if you don't have this folder, install Google Play Services in Android SDK manager->SDK Tools)
to Assets/Plugins/Android folder.

P.S. Now I have this problem again, because I need to build with Gradle, and nothing mentioned above works. Has anybody managed to build with Gradle project with Google play services?

 

Were you able to fix this? I'm now having this same damn issue:

 

Actually, I just deleted string

Code (JavaScript):

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

from manifest

 

But after deleting this line, I can't log in with google play services.

 

GameAnalytics can trigger that error in AndroidManifest.xml
