SDKBox AdMob Failed Compile -- Cocos Creator 2.4.5

Extensions
#1

Hi Everyone,

I’m trying to add AdMob ads to my Android game. Everything compiles fine until I implement AdMob through the SDKBox GUI as described in the documentation here.

The compile fails with the following wrror (more log details at the bottom):

AndroidManifest.xml:20: error: unexpected element found in .

I’m running Cocos Creator 2.4.5.

Does anyone know what causes an error like this? Thanks for your help!

Log Output:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
