React-native-admob: FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

[PuriaGithub]

I used react-native-admob 2.0.0-beta.5 in older version of my app but now when I run react-native run-android it gave me this error:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

Task :app:transformDexArchiveWithExternalLibsDexMergerForDebug FAILED
D8: Program type already present: com.google.android.gms.common.api.internal.zzd

I test my other packages but when I link react-native-admob it shows this error!!

after some searching, i understand that yesterday Google October 2nd, 2018 updates some libraries that caused this error i changed android/build.gradle file :
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:+'
to
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:15.0.0'

and problem SOLVED

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:15.0.0'

saved my life >.<

If you are like me and can't / don't want to edit your node_modules directly, you edit your app/build.gradle to look like this:

dependencies {
    implementation (project(':react-native-admob')) {
        exclude group: 'com.google.android.gms', module: 'play-services-ads'
    }
    implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:15.0.0'
}

This is basically the same thing @PuriaGithub suggests, but won't break your CI/CD pipelines.

[marhaupe]

@NySiya Which build.gradle did you edit for that?

[NySiya]

I have gotten it the error work now. But Banner doesn't show up. I don't know why? @marhaupe
