Try with the latest version of the plugin (v0.15.0).

Error itself shows the solution. There is (com/google/android/gms/base/R) and (Com/google/android/gms/base/R.class) . Try fixing the case issue. It should work then as expected.

If it do not work, you can try this dirty fix.

--> copying following 3 folders to platforms/android/app/src/main/java/name/ratson/cordova/admob/

platforms/android/src/name/ratson/cordova/admob/banner platforms/android/src/name/ratson/cordova/admob/interstitial platforms/android/src/name/ratson/cordova/admob/rewardvideo

it's dirty fix, but for now you can build your app. ;)
