unity google ads plugin problem CommandInvokationFailure: Failed to re-package resources

I'm facing a problem in building my game to apk after I implemented unity google ads plugin. Before adding the plugin the build worked.
The problem is the error mentioned below:
CommandInvokationFailure: Failed to re-package resources.

Follow the picture and resolve dependencies:
If it still doesn't work then it can be due to outdated android sdk.

Building Unity on Android produces the error 'CommandInvokationFailure'.

I have installed the latest unity 3D version(5.5.1) and the latest Android SDK. I haven't built my project on Android before - I believe I get an error when it tries to generate an Android Manifest XML:
Some suggestions for this error for old versions of Android wanted the build-tools folder of a particular version deleted but this still doesn't work. Could somebody help me out here?

Maven Android build error

My Maven based project is executing the following command resulting in the error that follows:

Why is this and how do I fix it please?
I am using Android Maven Plugin v3.8.2

I have faced this error before and i solved it by the followin
Open Android sdk and make sure latest version of support library is installed or not. If not then install it also check compile pi version for your project is latest or not i.e. 21.
2.After installing just mvn clean install.
This will solve the issue.

Andriod:How to set lib path for aapt command?

I was trying to compile Android project using command line in Windows. When I use aapt to generate R file, it comes out an error as below:
D:\SampleProject\MyApplication>aapt package -f -m -J ./gen -S ./app/src/main/res
-I "D:\ProgramInstall\Android\Android SDK\platforms\android-21\android.jar" -M
./app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml
.\app\src\main\res\values\styles.xml:4: error: Error retrieving parent for item:
No resource found that matches the given name 'Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkAction
Bar'.
I've found that the Theme.Appcompact.Light.DarkActionBar is related to the APPcompat_v7 floder while the floder is under in the libs floder, How can I let the complier know where to find the lib it need?

I know its too late or you may have already found the answer also but still posting:
