No interstitial ad to show (Ad unit id example taken from documentation)

[ericleich]

I'm not sure why you're getting No ad to show in your project's environment. Sometimes something happens to the test ad configuration and it doesn't work, but I just tried it and it seems to be working fine, and you've gotten it in your test environment.

To further debug the multiple instances of GoogleMobileAds, can you clarify what your Podfile looks like so I can see exactly what pods you're referencing? I ask because I don't see a Google/Ads pod, just a Google/AdMob. Google/AdMob depends on GoogleMobileAds, which is the same library as Google-Mobile-Ads-SDK. So you'll get duplicate copies of GoogleMobileAds if both of these libraries are referenced. We're looking to clean that up so there aren't 2 pods for the same library.

You're right it's Google/AdMob, not Google/Ads.

The problem is that I've been trying that code for few days now, with no success on my main project. :/

Podfile (CocoaPods 0.39.0, can migrate to 1.0.0):

source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
platform :ios, '8.0'

use_frameworks!
inhibit_all_warnings!

def project_pods
  pod 'Alamofire', '~> 3.0'
  pod 'SWRevealViewController', '~> 2.3'
  pod 'StreamingKit', git: '[email protected]:tomaszwojcik/StreamingKit.git'

  pod 'SDWebImage', '~> 3.7'

  pod 'FBSDKCoreKit', '~> 4.10'
  pod 'FBSDKShareKit', '~> 4.10'
  pod 'FBSDKLoginKit', '~> 4.10'

  pod 'Google/Analytics'
  pod 'Google-Mobile-Ads-SDK', '~> 7.0'
end

def test_pods

  pod 'Nimble', '3.0.0'
end

  test_pods
end

Looks like I found the issue.

In AppDelegate I change the user-agent, and it seems the AdMob doesn't like that at all.

NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults().registerDefaults(["UserAgent" : "MyUserAgent"])

Now I'm able to retrieve test ads all the time.
@ericleich Can you please add that to AdMob documentation?

[ericleich]

Good catch, ads won't load if the user agent is changed. I'll think about where it makes sense to add it to the docs. We may have to create a new troubleshooting page to hold content like this.

@ericleich I am getting the below error after upgrading the Google Ads sdk to the latest version.

InAppPurchase is removed from the latest version as per the migration guide.

'GoogleMobileAds/GADInterstitialDelegate.h' file not found
'GoogleMobileAds/GADInAppPurchaseDelegate.h' file not found

#import <GoogleMobileAds/GADInAppPurchaseDelegate.h>
#import <GoogleMobileAds/GADInterstitialDelegate.h>

[ericleich]

@nihp this is expected behavior. Both of those headers no longer exist in v9.x of the iOS SDK. The examples at HEAD of this repo use the latest delegates.

[nihp]

@ericleich Could you please provide any alternative for the same one.

I have removed the GADInAppPurchaseDelegate imports.

But the GADInterstitialDelegate needs to be used by many of the implemetnation. Could you please provide. the alternate for this.

[ericleich]

@nihp The GADFullScreenContentDelegate protocol has replaced GADInterstitialDelegate. Please see https://developers.google.com/admob/ios/migration#expandable-1 for more information. You can also check out the InterstitialExample in this repo to see how it’s implemented in v9.
