(Solved) Admob plugin: Failed to re-package resources.
Hi there, I've encountered a problem when trying to use the google admob plugin for my unity3d project. The issue is that it fails to compile after I imported it and I have no idea why this happens. I've researched on countless other issues that are similar to mine but nothing so far fixed it for me. Does anyone know how to fix this exact issue?
Trying to compile I get this message: Failed to re-package resources. See the console for details
So I open the console to check and there's this error:
 CommandInvokationFailure: Failed to re-package resources. See the Console for details.

              I was able to fix this by using an older version of the admob plugin (v2.3.1). Needless to say, I'm still puzzled by how the newer version still has these errors.

I managed to fix this by updating the SDK manager. My issue was that the SDK manager was outdated, which is why only the older versions of the plugin were working.
