Is the exception thrown if you use ti.admob with ti.playservices 16.1.4 ? That version was released specifically for these missing classes. Also have in mind that 16.1.14 may require you to provide your Admob App ID in the manifest as shown here: https://developers.google.com/admob/android/quick-start#update_your_androidmanifestxml It would look like that in tiapp.xml

   <android>
       <manifest 
         xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
           <application>
               <!-- Your AdMob App ID as value-->
               <meta-data
                   android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.APPLICATION_ID"
                   android:value="ca-app-pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx~yyyyyyyyyy"/>
            </application>
       </manifest>
   </android>

When i use ti.playservices 16.1.4 works properly. However, ti.playservices 16.1.4 is not compatible with firebase.core 4.0.0 or 5.0.0. The only combination that works properly is ti.playservices 11.0.40, firebase.core 3.0.2 and ti.admob 4.4.0.
