ROBOVM + robopods + admob ios binding - ios

Question

I tried to bind my project using this but however i failed to achieve so i am getting errors like
noClassDefFoundFor NSObject
i also tried to add the older version
ie this but here i am not able to link admob module to my ios module error which i an getting in this case is:
no Configuration found for 'default'
i am using latest version of LibGDX.
log snippet:
ava.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/robovm/apple/foundation/NSObject$Handle
at org.robovm.pods.google.mobileads.GADRequest.<init>(GADRequest.java)
at com.blurpixel.arcpop.ViewController.createAndLoadBanner(ViewController.java)

at org.robovm.apple.uikit.UIApplication.main(UIApplication.java)
at com.blurpixel.arcpop.IOSLauncher.main(IOSLauncher.java)
and what i am doing in my code is:
adView = new GADBannerView(GADAdSize.SmartBannerPortrait());
adView.setAdUnitID("xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx");
adView.setRootViewController(UIApplication.getSharedApplication().getKeyWindow().getRootViewController());
UIApplication.getSharedApplication().getKeyWindow().getRootViewController().getView().addSubview(adView);
GADRequest request = new GADRequest();//this line is creating this error if i am commenting this line + the adview.loadAd line i am getting my game running without ads.
request.setTestDevices(Arrays.asList(GADRequest.getSimulatorID()));
adView.setDelegate(new GADBannerViewDelegateAdapter() {
#Override
public void didReceiveAd(GADBannerView view) {
super.didReceiveAd(view);
}
#Override
public void didFailToReceiveAd(GADBannerView view, GADRequestError error) {
super.didFailToReceiveAd(view, error);
System.out.println("Failed to recieve ");
}
});
adView.loadRequest(request);

The problem is in your gradle files. First of all you are using the mobidevelop plugin with the official robovm. This might give problems.
then you are adding dependencies in 2 places. This should not do anything bad, but it is not needed and might cause problems if you change one of them.
Apply the following changes, rebuild gradle (dont forget to --refresh-dependencies) and rebuild your project. If it still fails clear cache again.
change:
classpath 'com.mobidevelop.robovm:robovm-gradle-plugin:2.2.0-SNAPSHOT'
to
classpath 'org.robovm:robovm-gradle-plugin:1.14.0'
and
robopodsVersion = '1.13.1'
to
robopodsVersion = '1.14.0'
might also need to change:
gdxVersion = '1.9.2'
to
gdxVersion = '1.9.0'
You might also need to remove the "-SNAPSHOT" from the robopod version. not 100% sure it they exist (and if you would want those)
remove:
dependencies {
compile "org.robovm:robopods-google-mobile-ads-ios:1.13.1-SNAPSHOT"
compile "org.robovm:robopods-google-apis-ios:1.13.1-SNAPSHOT"
}
from ios build.gradle (these area already defined in you main build.gradle)
