      Oh and you have to really make sure that those lines are not broken. They need to be one line. Double click the AndroidManifest.xml file in Android studio to check there's no line break / carriage return in there as this caused errors for me many times.

      EDIT - Should look like:
      <!-- google play -->
<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version" android:value="<a href="https://forum.giderosmobile.com/profile/integer%2Fgoogle_play_services_version%26quot" rel="nofollow">@integer/google_play_services_version&quot</a>; />
<activity android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.AdActivity" android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenLayout|uiMode|screenSize|smallestScreenSize" />
      And not...

      As for getting Admob into your Gideros project...

      First add this to your main.lua file
      -- Ads plugin
 
require "ads"
 
admob = Ads.new("admob")
--admob:enableTesting() -- loads test ads when enabled
 
admob:addEventListener(Event.AD_RECEIVED, function(e) 
	if(adType=="interstitial") then
		adReceived = true
	end
	print("got ad",e.type)
end)
 
admob:addEventListener(Event.AD_FAILED, function(e) 
	print("ad failed",e.error)
	adReceived = nil
end)
      When you want to load an ad, use:
      admob:setKey("1111111/2222222")
	admob:loadAd("banner", "ca-app-pub-1111111/2222222")
	admob:showAd("banner")
      Let me know how you get on!

      AdMob can not be tested in Gideros?

      It can, but only on the same platform you implement it in.

      So if you add plugin to Android, you can test it only on Android :)

      then you incorrectly added the plugin to project.

      either libads.so file is missing, or you did not place System.load("ads") in main activity
