Hello everyone, I recently updated my npm packages which where outdated to the ‘wanted’ version as shown by npm, and updated all cordova plugins with the npm package cordova-check-plugins. It gave me all sort of errors, so I removed all traces of admobfree from my package.json, removed my package-lokc.json and node\_modules. Then I reinstalled it using ionic-native documentation. I still get the errors: ```auto :app:generateDebugSources UP-TO-DATE :app:javaPreCompileDebug UP-TO-DATE :app:compileDebugJavaWithJavac D:\Sync\Documents\projects\comfort\platforms\android\app\src\main\java\name\ratson\cordova\admob\AdMob.java:27: error: package name.ratson.cordova.admob.banner does not exist import name.ratson.cordova.admob.banner.BannerExecutor; ^ D:\Sync\Documents\projects\comfort\platforms\android\app\src\main\java\name\ratson\cordova\admob\AdMob.java:28: error: package name.ratson.cordova.admob.interstitial does not exist import name.ratson.cordova.admob.interstitial.InterstitialExecutor; ^ D:\Sync\Documents\projects\comfort\platforms\android\app\src\main\java\name\ratson\cordova\admob\AdMob.java:29: error: package name.ratson.cordova.admob.rewardvideo does not exist import name.ratson.cordova.admob.rewardvideo.RewardVideoExecutor; ^ D:\Sync\Documents\projects\comfort\platforms\android\app\src\main\java\name\ratson\cordova\admob\AdMob.java:44: error: cannot find symbol private BannerExecutor bannerExecutor = null; ^ symbol: class BannerExecutor location: class AdMob D:\Sync\Documents\projects\comfort\platforms\android\app\src\main\java\name\ratson\cordova\admob\AdMob.java:45: error: cannot find symbol private InterstitialExecutor interstitialExecutor = null; ^ symbol: class InterstitialExecutor location: class AdMob D:\Sync\Documents\projects\comfort\platforms\android\app\src\main\java\name\ratson\cordova\admob\AdMob.java:46: error: cannot find symbol private RewardVideoExecutor rewardVideoExecutor = null; ^ symbol: class RewardVideoExecutor location: class AdMob D:\Sync\Documents\projects\comfort\platforms\android\app\src\main\java\name\ratson\cordova\admob\AdMob.java:70: error: cannot find symbol bannerExecutor = new BannerExecutor(this); ^ symbol: class BannerExecutor location: class AdMob D:\Sync\Documents\projects\comfort\platforms\android\app\src\main\java\name\ratson\cordova\admob\AdMob.java:73: error: cannot find symbol interstitialExecutor = new InterstitialExecutor(this); ^ symbol: class InterstitialExecutor location: class AdMob D:\Sync\Documents\projects\comfort\platforms\android\app\src\main\java\name\ratson\cordova\admob\AdMob.java:76: error: cannot find symbol rewardVideoExecutor = new RewardVideoExecutor(this); ^ symbol: class RewardVideoExecutor location: class AdMob Note: Some input files use or override a deprecated API.

It’s a problem with the whole plugin, also happening on Cordova projects. I’ve downgraded a few times to version 0.11 after several tries I managed to get it working but it’s not so simple ---
