Were you able to solve this? I also need a solution. I encountered the supertype @Override error when I added the admob free plugin by ratson. ---

hello, ionic and admob… what a mess. This is one of the reason why I think twice, if I use ionic again for whatever and mostly … But this will not help you. Maybe [https://enhance.co/](https://enhance.co/) is something you can use. It is for me a complete black box, so I do not know if this way has any negative and unwanted effects.

@anna_liebt This thread is for the answer to the “ionic and admob” error and not for marketing whatsoever. The question is clear for “ionic and admob”.
