capacitor-community / admob Goto Github PK

Hello,
My IOS app is working fine when I add the isTesting = true , Ads show up with 'Test mode' label, but when I remove the isTesting flag and install the app on IOS, nothing shows up. Is this normal? I even distributed the app via firebase distribute and it is the same behavior. As far as I know, my AdMob setting is correct and I do not see any error to indicate that there is something going wrong. My app has not been published in the apple store yet so Not sure if this has to do with it.

@capacitor-community/admob (1.0.1)
Xcode 11.6 (11E708)
Project Format Xcode 8.0-compatible
phonegap-version cli-6.2.0
iOS Build Target v11.0
iOS Simulator iPhone 11 v13.6
iOS iPhone 11 v13.4.1

Ads show in the simulator on iOS, but on the actual device nothing would show if the iOS preference Limit Ad Tracking was turned on. A post on Stack Overflow suggested adding the following to NSAppTransportSecurity:

NSAllowsArbitraryLoadsInWebContent <true>
NSAllowsArbitraryLoadsForMedia <true>

And that makes the Ads show, but then the Apple docs here https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/information_property_list/nsapptransportsecurity/nsallowsarbitraryloads make it clear that's (a) not a good idea, and (b) Apps may face rejection if the justification isn't good enough.

As I understand it, AdMob should be loading over https anyway, so not entirely sure why adding those keys to NSAppTransportSecurity worked.

Is there a bug in the plugin or should I be looking elsewhere for the cause of the problem?

Could you please add a sample when you use Ionic5 with Vue3?

To prevent problems like the ones found on #40, it would be good if all error plugin responses use the same base interface.

#41 unifies error and errorCode for interstitial, maybe all the others error events should use the same format?

Describe the bug
I received a crashlytics error in production.
The error was the following:

Fatal Exception: java.lang.NullPointerException
Attempt to invoke virtual method 'void com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView.pause()' on a null object reference

To Reproduce
It's actually hard to reproduce as this is just a crash which was reported by crashlytics.

Expected behavior
The app should not crash 😊

Smartphone (please complete the following information):

• Device: Samsung Galaxy J7
• OS: Android 9

Additional context
I just wanted to make sure, that every step is taken to prevent that error. It should not be the case, that the app crashes after calling pause.

Describe the bug
In my Ionic app the ad is overlapping the content. It's the same behavior like I had in another capacitor admob plugin which was fixed. Here's the issue
I noticed that @rahadur is a contributor to this plugin. Maybe he can quickly fix it like before.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create Ionic app like described here
2. Install plugin like described here
3. Run plugin with position: AdPosition.BOTTOM_CENTER option

Thanks and all the best.

Describe the bug
The ads render by admob are by default personalized ads, if we want to send non personalized ads (for example in a country protected by GDPR where the user does not want to be tracked) we have to send the npa. See https://developers.google.com/admob/android/eu-consent#forward-consent

Currently there is not way to send any extra option to the Builder so all the ads served are tracked personalized ads.

See: ionic-team/capacitor#3634

In that way, updates/changes to the typescript interfaces are automatically documented 😃

Describe the bug
The content is covered by the banner and also scrolling the text it's not possible to read the last part.
The problem was reproduced with this demo(https://github.com/capacitor-community/admob/tree/master/demo/angular) on the iPhone 11

On integration of Interstitial, autoShow option gives error:

'autoShow' does not exist in type 'AdOptions'

const optionsInter: AdOptions = {
adId: InterplatformAdId,
isTesting: true,
autoShow: true
}

I cannot build the project. I am getting cannot resolve symbol 'community' error.

Everything looks fine for the code side but I am getting an error anyway. How can I resolve this problem.

Describe the bug
The plugin uses the Admob-SDK with version >= 7.64.0.
Google released version 8.0.0 which has some breaking changes. For example, the class GADInterstitialDelegate doesn't exist anymore.

Expected behavior
The iOS build should work

• https://developers.google.com/admob/android/test-ads#enable_test_devices

I searched the repository about the version of the google mobile ads sdk, but i didn't find anything.

What is the version of the Google Sdk that we are using? If it is lower than 7.55.0 iOS application will have a problem.

As indicated recently by google, Apple will no longer accept applications (updates or new) that are using UIWebView to serve their ads.

We will no longer be able to

• update an application, that uses a version lower than 7.55.0, after December 2020.
• upload a new application from April 2020, which means that you can't do that already.

The first version of google-mobile-ads-sdk that only uses WKWebview to serve the ads is 7.55.0 as indicated here.

Hello ı have a problem for banner size when ı open app on large size phone ,banner closing tab menu https://prnt.sc/x7gsu6

I use adSize: AdSize.SMART_BANNER,

I give margin for tab menu<ion-tab-bar slot="bottom" style="margin-bottom: 42px;">

Should I use Adsize.CUSTOMto fix this? how is it used?

*Is there anyone who can help?

Describe the bug
I'm getting many crashes reported by Firebase Crashlytics caused by some messaging dependency (com.google.firebase.iid.zzbe and com.getcapacitor.CapacitorFirebaseMessagingService) .

To Reproduce
I was not able to reproduce it consistently. The error happened more frequent in production.

Expected behavior
While I can handle some crashes here and there due to huge ecosystem Android has, I've had a very small number Crash-Free users on Android, 64%.

Describe the bug
A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

In version 1.2.6, actually since this commit: eb3b91d, top or bottom banner don't work anymore

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Clone this project
2. Install version 1.2.6 in the demo/angular project
3. Run the app on Android
4. Click on the Show Top/Bottom Banner button
5. The banners (top or bottom) don't appear.

Currently on Android (I do not know if also in iOS) showBanner just react to the first call and ignores the other ones letting the Banner update it self.

    @PluginMethod
    public void showBanner(final PluginCall call) {
        if (mAdView != null) {
            return;
        }
     ...

A Use case for this is the following:

1. User accepts to have personalized ads.
2. The developer requests a banner ad with npa true.
3. The plugin shows a Banner with personalized ads ( mAdView is instantited)
4. The user revokes his consent to have personalized ads.
5. The developer make a new banner request
6. The plugin ignores this and breaks the privacy agreement (which is really bad in Europe)

Error receiving when invoking banner ad and app crashing.

Any thoughts on this?

I Am getting and Error { "errorCode": 3 } in onAdFailedToLoad eventListener
I don't know what it means, nor there is any documentation for this

When setting isTesting option to true, the Ad is loading successfully

Any suggestions on how to generate the dialog? Is it even expected to be created when testing the app on device?

** Other Info **
Here's how I'm initialising and then displaying the interstitial:

The initAds function is called during login:

function initAds(){
	Capacitor.Plugins.AdMob.initialize();
	var admobid = {};
	if(capacitorDevice.operatingSystem == 'ios') {
		admobid = {
			interstitial: 'xxxxx'
		};
	} else {
		admobid = {
			interstitial: 'xxxxx'
		};
	}
	admobInterstitialOptions = {
		adId: admobid.interstitial,
		autoShow: false,
	}
	Capacitor.Plugins.AdMob.prepareInterstitial(admobInterstitialOptions);
}

Then this code has a 1 in 10 random chance of displaying the interstitial and preparing the next one:

$(document).on('tab:show', '.tab', function(page) {
	if(Math.floor(Math.random() * 10)<1) {
		Capacitor.Plugins.AdMob.showInterstitial();
		Capacitor.Plugins.AdMob.prepareInterstitial(admobInterstitialOptions);
	}    
});

Anyone else seen this, or know what I'm doing wrong?

Describe the bug

When doing the test directly from the android studio it works fine, the admob is initializing very good.

But when we are doing the build from the ionic capacitor cmd and use the generated apk , that is where the white screen happening upon the initialization of the app.

Within the initialization below using ionic 5 with admob latest version
export class AppComponent {
constructor(
private platform: Platform,
private splashScreen: SplashScreen,
private statusBar: StatusBar,
private dataService: DataService
) {
// Initialize AdMob for your Application
AdMob.initialize();
this.initializeApp();
}

To Reproduce
The bug is occuring upon the initialization of the app

Expected behavior
it should proceed to mainscreen

Describe the bug
Updating the plugin to the latest release v1.3.1 when I run "npx cap sync" this error appears:

[error] Analyzing dependencies
[!] CocoaPods could not find compatible versions for pod "GoogleUtilities/MethodSwizzler":
  In Podfile:

I tried to run "pod install" or "pod update" but I get the same error

option of npa have to be uncomment in README.md

export class AdMobComponent {
  private options: AdOptions = {
    adId: 'YOUR ADID',
    adSize: AdSize.BANNER,
    position: AdPosition.BOTTOM_CENTER,
    margin: 0,
    // isTesting: true
    npa: true // uncomment
  };

It's just a my guesss ...

My app crashed after build.
This is error log

AdMob: rendering rootView
Fatal error: Unexpectedly found nil while unwrapping an Optional value: file CapacitorCommunityAdmob/Plugin.swift, line 107
2020-10-07 21:17:57.462271+0900 App[535:76189] Fatal error: Unexpectedly found nil while unwrapping an Optional value: file CapacitorCommunityAdmob/Plugin.swift, line 107

I added option of npa in AdOptions.
My app was not crashed after build.

I think you have to change sample of README.md.

Describe the bug
I've followed all the steps, editing MainActivity.java, etc but AdMob is still undefined upon importing. Looking for tips on how to debug further, as I've hit a wall.

import {Plugins} from "@capacitor/core";
const {AdMob, App, Device} = Plugins;

Then in created() I call:
AdMob.initialize();

It compiles just fine and starts up on the emulator or my phone but then gives this error:
2021-01-09 16:17:15.684 15158-15158/com.kevins.app E/Capacitor/Console: File: http://localhost/js/chunk-vendors.458f2ac8.js - Line 7 - Msg: TypeError: Cannot read property 'initialize' of undefined

I'm using vue 2.x, but I don't think it matters.

Does android studio need to build the plugin or something first? I've checked after 'ionic cap sync android' and there's a 'capacitor-cordova-android-plugins' directory, but I'm not sure what to look for in there.

Plugin Issue or your implements issue?
I've tried to adapt the code examples for vue, so I think they're pretty correct. It feels like the problem is happening pretty early in the startup process.

There's no errors or warnings in the android build output.

On the web mode, it does show:
web-runtime.js:38 Uncaught (in promise) AdMob does not have web implementation.

Expected behavior
Had hoped an ad would show :)

Hi everybody!
There's a way to disable or limitate volume of AdMob video ads (interstitial ads)?
Some of our users are annoyed by the high volume of these and we want to find a solution.

Reading on AdMob Google Developer website I've found this:
https://developers.google.com/admob/android/global-settings
https://developers.google.com/admob/ios/global-settings

There's a way to integrate on this plugin?

Thanks

Please let me know what am I missing.
AdMob.showInterstitial()

never show interstitial. Below is my code.

import React from 'react';
import { IonButton, IonContent, IonHeader, IonPage, IonTitle, IonToolbar, isPlatform } from '@ionic/react';
import { Plugins } from '@capacitor/core';
import { AdOptions } from '@capacitor-community/admob';
import './Tab3.css';

const { AdMob } = Plugins;


const Tab3: React.FC = () => {


  AdMob.initialize();
  const adId = {
    ios: 'ca-app-pub-xxxx/xxx',
    android: 'ca-app-pub-xxxx/xxx'
  }
 
  const platformAdId = isPlatform('android') ? adId.android : adId.ios;
 
  const optionsInter: AdOptions = {
    adId: platformAdId,
    isTesting: true
    //autoShow: true
  }
 
  const handleAd = async () => {
    const adStatus = await AdMob.prepareInterstitial(optionsInter);
    if(adStatus.value){

      AdMob.addListener('onAdLoaded', (info: boolean) => {
        // You can call showInterstitial() here or anytime you want.
        console.log("InterInfo",info);
         AdMob.showInterstitial();
    });

    // AdMob.showInterstitial();
      console.log("GoodToGo");
    }

  }


  return (
    <IonPage>
      <IonHeader>
        <IonToolbar>
          <IonTitle>Tab 3</IonTitle>
        </IonToolbar>

          <IonToolbar>
            <IonTitle size="large">Tab 3</IonTitle>

        </IonHeader>
        
        <IonButton onClick={handleAd}>Show Ad</IonButton>

      </IonContent>
    </IonPage>
  );
};

export default Tab3;

Describe the bug
Interstitial ads are not being loaded on iOS.
AdMob.prepareInterstitial(options) just fails silently.
The same codes works on Android.

I'm guessing the problem is in file admob/ios/Plugin/Plugin.swift, line 281

Shouldn't it be GADInterstitial and
self.interstitial.load(GADRequest()) ?

Describe the bug
I can't import the AdMob Plugin from @capacitor/core with import { Plugins } from "@capacitor/core";const { AdMob} = Plugins;.
I am using VSCode and the Object Plugins does not include AdMob and i dont get any autocompletition for it

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install with npm i --save @capacitor/admob
2. Import in Typescript-react File App.tsx with import { Plugins} from "@capacitor/core"; const {AdMob} = Plugins;

Expected behavior
I expect VSCode to find the AdMob Class in Plugins

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows
• Version core: 2.4.2, admob plugin: ^1.2.5

Additional context
I hope i am not just too stupid for it

In open source repo is hard or impossible ask all the developers to keep the same environment, IDEs, plugins and OS are different with different configurations and preferences.

The project already uses Prettier as commit hook, but no prettier config and editor config file are to be found, this leads to prettier to search locally if some kind of config exist or to use the defaults if not.

Example: #18

Having prettier and editorconfig assures that each the files will have the same format across all OS or IDEs.

As it seems google claims that the ads are triggered after the application is closed. The update i did had no changes in the code about the triggering of the ads.

Probably something changed at the algorithm of google store. I also cannot recreate the claims of google.

The ad i use is an interstitial. It is triggered from a user action. Also i check from the platform { App }, the state of the application before i show the ad.

Those are the dependencies i use

"dependencies": {
    "@angular/common": "^9.0.1",
    "@angular/core": "^9.0.1",
    "@angular/forms": "^9.0.1",
    "@angular/platform-browser": "^9.0.1",
    "@angular/platform-browser-dynamic": "^9.0.1",
    "@angular/router": "^9.0.1",
    "@capacitor-community/admob": "^1.0.1",
    "@capacitor/android": "^2.2.0",
    "@capacitor/cli": "^2.2.0",
    "@capacitor/core": "^2.2.0",
    "@capacitor/ios": "^2.2.0",
    "@ionic/angular": "^5.2.2",
    "@ionic/app-scripts": "^3.2.4",
    "chart.js": "^2.8.0",
    "core-js": "^2.5.4",
    "css-loader": "^3.4.2",
    "jetifier": "^1.6.6",
    "karma-coverage": "^2.0.1",

    "tslib": "^1.9.0",
    "webpack": "^4.41.6",
    "zone.js": "^0.10.2"
  },

I believe i tested everything that will fix the problem at the typescript code, except from changing the type of ad itself.

Describe the bug

AdMob.addListener('onRewarded', (info) => {
console.log(info)
}

2. Initiate the reward
3. Initiate the reward the second time

Expected behavior
Only one console.log is shown during the second time

For Capacitor 3, imports on Plugins are changing. You should be able to import Plugins directly from the npm package like this.

import { AdMob } from '@capacitor-community/admob';

I've added this issue to the Capacitor 3.0.0 milestone and I'm happy to help out with the migration to Capacitor 3 😄

See:

• https://developers.google.com/admob/android/mediate
• https://developers.google.com/admob/android/quick-start#initialize_the_mobile_ads_sdk

Context:

AdMob Mediation is a feature that lets you serve ads to your apps from multiple sources, including the AdMob Network, third-party ad networks, and AdMob campaigns. AdMob Mediation helps maximize your fill rate and increase your monetization by sending ad requests to multiple networks to ensure you find the best available network to serve ads.

Describe the bug
This only applies to Android, iOS is working as expected!

When loading an ad with the AdSize.BANNER (the dumb version, not the smart one) and the AdPosition.BOTTOM_CENTER, the ad is loaded and displayed. But it appears left aligned instead of centered. This can be reproduced in my app as well as in the example app if the AdSize is changed from .SMART_BANNER to .BANNER for either the top or bottom ad.

Expected behavior
I expect the banner to be centered, as the AdPosition indicates and as it does on iOS 14.1.

Plugin
Version 1.2.4

Smartphone:
Android 29 in simulator and on a real device, when the screen width is greater than 320px

Thank you developers for your effort in creating this plugin. It would be great if we could have types and interfaces for methods and properties for Angular-Ionic developers. For example, "addListener()" is of type: any currently. Thanks in advance.

After installing latest version:

"@capacitor-community/admob": "^3.0.0-1"

i cannot use the plugin on Android. Tested on emulators, Pixel 3a (Android 10), Pixel 4 (Android 11) and on actual device Pixel 4a (Android 11)

Sample code:

import { AdMob, AdOptions, AdPosition, AdSize } from '@capacitor-community/admob';
...

const success = await AdMob.initialize({});

Which fails on the initialization with:

ERROR Error: Uncaught (in promise): Error: "AdMob" plugin is not implemented on android
Error: "AdMob" plugin is not implemented on android

Before the update i used the v1.2.6, with the appropriate imports, which worked as expected.
