Not showing in real device

[xxx44yyy]

After run example app (https://github.com/ratson/cordova-plugin-admob-free/tree/master/examples) on real device, ads not showing. isTesting: true and autoShow: true included.

Is that right?

[ConcaveIT]

Same case for me, real ads not showing in device, please somebody tell me why?

[Winamp9]

did according to the instructions? https://developers.google.com/admob/android/quick-start

[ConcaveIT]

Yes, Real Ads showing on ionic DevApp but not in production apk.(emulator or real devices)

[xxx44yyy]

Emulator show production and test ads. Real device does not show anything.

@Winamp9 What can help guide for Android? We are trying to use Cordova :)

[xxx44yyy]

We can try this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52142760/the-banner-not-showing-with-my-id-from-admob-ionic-3

[ConcaveIT]

Is this worked for you? And have you publish your app to play store? @xxx44yyy

[xxx44yyy]

I can't find a solution to the problem, so I'll probably try to publish the app. But not today, maybe tomorrow.

[ConcaveIT]

I haven't play store account yet. may be that should work. Please let me know if you find any solution, (same for me also)

[xxx44yyy]

Yeah, okay. I will still look for a solution and if I do not find it, I will have to try to publish it.

[xxx44yyy]

@ConcaveIT It worked. I added this to the configuration: "cordova-admob-sdk": "0.20.0"

and this

    <plugin name="cordova-admob-sdk" spec="../plugins/cordova-admob-sdk">
        <variable name="PLAY_SERVICES_VERSION" value="+" />
    </plugin>

After that, a banner (test ads) appeared on the real phone.

Then, I published the application and it appeared real advertising (of course, the code has already turned off the parameter isTesting). https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.a2_finance.cordova.test.ads I think Google will swear that I published such an application, so I will delete it today.

You can download the APK (https://apkpure.com/ru/cordova-ads-test/com.a2_finance.cordova.test.ads), and decompile it.

[ConcaveIT]

@xxx44yyy Thanks mate. So… is it required to publish the app to play store?

[xxx44yyy]

To see real advertising - apparently Yes.

[yacinknn]

"cordova-admob-sdk": "0.20.0"

where i can add this ? "cordova-admob-sdk": "0.20.0"

[ConcaveIT]

@yacinknn,,, you have to add that in config.xml

[yacinknn]

bro thank u it worked for me but i have 2 questions : 1-the banner ads display But not always ( Only sometimes ) why ? 2- i want to display interstitial ads but automaticaly ( like in plugin of admobpro ) how can i do it? thank u very much

[ConcaveIT]

@Yacinknn, can you share your code?

[xxx44yyy]

@yacinknn

1. it's normal if ads real (not test)

    admob.interstitial.config({
        id: admobid.interstitial,
        // isTesting: true,
        autoShow: true,
    });

[yacinknn]

i use same code 👍 var admobid = {} if (/(android)/i.test(navigator.userAgent)) { // for android & amazon-fireos admobid = { banner: 'ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/6300978111', interstitial: 'ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/1033173712', } } else if (/(ipod|iphone|ipad)/i.test(navigator.userAgent)) { // for ios admobid = { banner: 'ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/2934735716', interstitial: 'ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/4411468910', } }

document.addEventListener('deviceready', function() { admob.banner.config({ id: admobid.banner, isTesting: true, autoShow: true, }) admob.banner.prepare()

admob.interstitial.config({ id: admobid.interstitial, isTesting: true, autoShow: false, }) admob.interstitial.prepare()

document.getElementById('showAd').disabled = true document.getElementById('showAd').onclick = function() { admob.interstitial.show() }

}, false)

document.addEventListener('admob.banner.events.LOAD_FAIL', function(event) { console.log(event) })

document.addEventListener('admob.interstitial.events.LOAD_FAIL', function(event) { console.log(event) })

document.addEventListener('admob.interstitial.events.LOAD', function(event) { console.log(event) document.getElementById('showAd').disabled = false })

document.addEventListener('admob.interstitial.events.CLOSE', function(event) { console.log(event)

admob.interstitial.prepare() })

[ConcaveIT]

If you use autoShow : false then you have to call it on. .then Other wise use true

[yacinknn]

it worked for me , if i use the value of autoShow =true ? is it ok?

[ConcaveIT]

Confusion about one thing some apps does not belongs to play store but they shows real admob ad. How?

[xxx44yyy]

@ConcaveIT They're probably using test IDs. https://developers.google.com/admob/android/test-ads

[ConcaveIT]

@xxx44yyy, No, because they do clicking business. Other thing, you can check removing apps from play store, and see what happens.

[xxx44yyy]

@ConcaveIT To create an ad unit in Admob, you need an ID from GooglePlay. Therefore, I think if you remove the application from GooglePlay, then nothing will change, because in Admob the application will be registered.

But it doesn't matter now. The important thing is that: a) test ads is shown (on emulator - Yes, on real device - Yes) b) real ads is shown (on emulator - No, on real device - Yes, after publication in Google Play)

[ConcaveIT]

But interesting thing is, if you run your app in ionic DevApp then real ads shows. Even when app is not in play store.

[xxx44yyy]

I don't know..

[diegoestacho999]

What info do I get from you? Here I am using and running all ad methods.

[diegoestacho999]

By the tests I've done so far, in the emulator only test ads same. In the actual device everything okay, they exhibit all without problems. Try to use something like:

ionic cordova run android --prod

Hello @yacinknn @xxx44yyy you guys are life savers thank you. I was wondering where in config.xml you add "cordova-admob-sdk": "0.20.0" in the tags? Thank you much

[xxx44yyy]

@darkthsideous not config.xml. In package.json. It's mine:
