Hello, I made a game with godot and I want to release it on Android.

I compiled the template to export the script encrypted, and it worked on an empty project. But the game I was making continued to end.
In the end, I found that the error occurred when I enabled Custom Build, but I can’t export with Custom Build turned off because I’m using the Admob plugin.

Here is the solution I came up with:

Make Custom Build work with turned on
Turn off Custom Build and build with AdMob plugin in the template

I’ve searched for both of them as best I can, but I haven’t been able to find an answer.
I tried method 2 referring to /android/plugin/godot_plugin_config.h, but it failed.

Help!

**Godot version:** 3.2.3.stable **OS/device including version:** Linux, Android, GLES2. **Issue description:** I enabled the Android export option: 'Use Custom Build'. I also specified custom templates, for both the debug and release versions, as I wanted to use script encryption. When I built and deployed the resulting app, on my Android device, it was UNABLE to read the encrypted scripts. As a check, I unset the 'Use Custom Build' option only, and then was able to run my app fine, which indicates that the custom templates I had built, to use scrip encryption, were working fine. Looking into this matter, it looks like the custom build option, instead of using the custom build templates (<custom_location>/android_debug.apk and <custom_location>/android_release.apk), were actually using .aar files from the project's local android/build/libs/debug/godot-lib.debug.aar and android/build/libs/release/godot-lib.release.aar As a further test and workaround, I copied my custom built godot engine's .aar files (which incorporated the script encryption) to the aforementioned locations, and was able to get my app to run successfully.. Ideally, the 'Use Custom Build' option should be able to pick up the custom templates and use them, if they are specified. As it is now, the combo of 'Use Combo Build' and custom templates, for Android export, doesn't really work as one would expect..
