@floatinghotpot please update the latest sdk. we can not use this plugin. we can pay, if there is a pro version with the latest sdk

As I am only using banner ad, I found a work around. The above errors are relating to Native ads code and I commented all those imports and functions. Now it builds with the latest facebook sdk.

Also if you are showing banner with over lap, the getWidth() and getHeight() methods of adView are returning zero and hence the ads wont show up. I modified the code to getWidth() and getHeigh() methods of adSize and it works fine.

@merbin2012
your plugin does not build

What went wrong:
A problem occurred evaluating script.

Could not find method implementation() for arguments [com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:25.3.1] on object of type org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.dsl.dependencies.DefaultDependencyHandler
