Admob installation throws an error

Technically this doesn’t count as an ngCordova issue, but:

I’ve tried installing Admob to use with ngCordova, but installation of the plugin always fails, giving me this error:

Error: Failed to fetch plugin com.google.admobsdk via registry.
Probably this is either a connection problem, or plugin spec is incorrect.
Check your connection and plugin name/version/URL.
Error: Registry returned 404 for GET on https://registry.npmjs.org/com.google.admobsdk

So of course that means that the original repo on npm has been moved or deleted, and there’s not much I can do about that, but, is there a workaround? Has the aforementioned plugin moved to a different name or location? A similar plugin that works with ngCordova?

I’m happy to update the docs if a solution is found, or just switch to a similar plugin if necessary, but it’d be good to know what’s going on, so others who run into this issue can get an answer also.

facing same problem

this plugin worked for me
cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-admobpro

I saw the pro plugin, but figured it would be the same, as they were made by the same person and I thought would have used the same repo.

Anyway, the plugin installed correctly. Haven’t tried it in my app yet (getting the surrounding code ready), but it installed. Thanks :smile:
