Ad not showing. about react-native-admob-native-ads

[KVinS]

@ammarahm-ed
I upgraded to the latest version
(0.3.5)
Now the first ad is showing.
But instead of the second emptiness.
The third is shown again.

[ammarahm-ed]

Try the example app and reproduce the issue.

Also delete your app from the phone, clear the build folders for android/ & android/app then run the app again.

[KVinS]

@ammarahm-ed
I have the same problem...
Reinstalling the application with deleting the build folder (\android\app\build) did not help

[ammarahm-ed]

Are you using your own ad ids? If so, wait for a day or two and the ads will start showing. If your app is not published on playstore, when you publish it and it goes live. Ads will start showing. This error is not related to this library but admob server.

[ammarahm-ed]

For testing/development purposes please use the test ad & test app id from the admob website.

@ammarahm-ed, I am aware of this problem and therefore used these id
https://developers.google.com/admob/android/test-ads

[ammarahm-ed]

Did you run the example? Is it the same in the example app?

[KVinS]

Lol It seems that this is my network firewall that blocked access to the admob.
Nonetheless:

• Video ads still not working
• Slightly strange component behavior if ads are not loaded
  

How can I make layout for video / picture?
I would split the example into:

• Just a banner
• Media banner

[iamshrikantjha]

Hi @KVinS how did you fixed the "network firewall" issue I am using Ubuntu and running application on real device.

[ammarahm-ed]

@KVinS video ads will work when you use native-advanced-video ids. You should use MediaView. It will automatically load video or image based on the Ad type. You can hide the ad component from the view when ads failed to load sometimes.

[KVinS]

@iamshrikantjha

I went to the router and disabled ad blocking through dns.

@ammarahm-ed, I understand this in theory. In the main example, a large square is responsible for this. However, the result is only a “simple” advertisement.
I could not get the video. = ( Can you provide a small ONLY video ad code that works for you?

[ammarahm-ed]

@KVinS The same code works for me. Video ads work out of the box. You just have to use native-advanced video ad ids.

Change the Ad ID in the example to Video and it will start showing video ads. You will see video ad id on top of the App.js file.

By the way, don't I need to add "CallToActionView" and "AdBadge"?

[ammarahm-ed]

@KVinS No you don't. The video should play anyways. The error means that the server is not sending the ads for some reason. nothing wrong with the library. check your firewall etc or something. Use a VPN app and it will work. Your network is blocking requests still

[KVinS]

No you don't.

And how does a user navigate through advertising without an interaction element?

[ammarahm-ed]

@KVinS I meant it is not necessary to show the button, ads work anyways. Also pressing on the icon/text etc also opens the ad and is registered as ad click. But yea it should be added.

It's work on real device (not emulator)
But crop video and with frame. Can i set auto size?

[ammarahm-ed]

@KVinS Yes you can, use the aspectRatio value returned in onUnifiedNativeAdLoaded. Check the example app, it is demonstrated there how to auto size the MediaView etc.

[prasanthsd]

We are testing with test ads and on some android devices native ads are having issues and on other devices it works great. Anyone else having similar experience?

[KVinS]

@ammarahm-ed I launched the application today and it again stopped displaying ads :D
(Simple banner)
Was there some kind of update or something?

At the same time, only the first advertisement does not work.
After updating (in a minute) the banner is displayed.

[prasanthsd]

Google sometime wont have the icon with the ad. This isn't handled by the lib that was our issue with native ads.

[KVinS]

Google sometime wont have the icon with the ad. This isn't handled by the lib that was our issue with native ads.

The action button works. The load event is raised.
But there is no text and image.

If do nothing, then after a while, the ad will be updated and displayed.

[ammarahm-ed]

Check if you are getting ´onUnifiedNativeAdLoaded´ event called with the ad data or not. Also run adb logcat to see if there is any error exception reports logged?

There has been no update yet.

Also maybe you want to try the ´delayAdLoading´ prop and add a delay of 1000 ms or more and see if the views are rendered properly or not.

[KVinS]

There has been no update yet.

Update - in the sense that "every minute an advertising update is replaced."

I get an event "onAdLoaded". I can click on the button and go to the site.
But no information is displayed.

Try the example app and see if you can find the issue there also?

Can you send apk to me, please?

[ammarahm-ed]

You can clone this project and run the example from the example folder.

This is difficult for me to do. I installed NPM for only one project.

[KVinS]

@ammarahm-ed Can you send an apk example with a test id?
This is a first load problem.
If i set the refreshInterval to 10, then all subsequent ads will be displayed normally.
I set this hack:

onAdLoaded={setLoading(false);}
refreshInterval={loading ? 10 : 60000}

but it sucks...

@iamshrikantjha try it?

[ammarahm-ed]

Use the ´delayAdLoading´ prop instead and see if it works for you. Also compare your code with the example app.

Add ´delayAdLoading={1000}´

I have tried it.
delayAdloading={1000 + id * 1000}

[ammarahm-ed]

Its ´delayAdLoading´ actually, not ´delayAdloading. The documentation has a bug. @KVinS

[bhavikgajera92]

Hi @ammarahm-ed

I am using this package to show native advanced video ads. In iOS it is showing perfectly fine but in the android It is throwing this kind of error. (Screenshot attached here with.) I am here using the test app Id and test unit Ids provided by Google Ad Mob.

Android App Id : ca-app-pub-3940256099942544~3347511713
androidAdUnitCode: 'ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/1044960115',
iOSAdUnitCode: 'ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/2521693316'

What should be the reason. Please help. I am thankful to you.

[ammarahm-ed]

@bhavikgajera92 you are seeing this error because ad is not recieved from the server. Try to use a vpn app etc or something to be sure your network or phone etc are not blocking it. Also be sure you use Android test Ad Ids to show ads on android. The issue is not related to this lib. Also delete your app from phone. Clear build folders and run again.

Try the Example app to see if you are seeing the ads or not.

[bhavikgajera92]

Hi @ammarahm-ed
I have checked with VPN also ads are not loading and I tried the Test Ad Ids as well. For the iOS it is working perfectly well for the same internet but for android it is not. Attaching the screenshot for iOS.

Android side still I am getting this.

I have tested the Ads on same internet on iOS and on Android. On iOS worked perfectly on Android not.
Is there any extra settings to be made at android side ?

Thanks

[ammarahm-ed]

No there are no extra settings. The ad should be returned. Try to run the Example App from the project.

[bhavikgajera92]

Hi @ammarahm-ed

Yes I tried to run Example Project and for Native_Ad_Id I am getting the ads. Attaching the screenshot here with. Perfectly fine in Android as well.

But for NATIVE_AD_VIDEO_ID I am not able to see any video ads. For iOS I am able to but for android I am not able to see. Attaching the screenshot here with.

If the Server is not returning the Ads then it should be for both iOS and android isn't it ?

Thanks

[ammarahm-ed]

Server is not returnings ads. Not an issue with this lib.

[KVinS]

@bhavikgajera92, Welcome to the club.
Video ads for me only work on a real device.

@ammarahm-ed Hi. Have you added a parameter pass for the GDPR?

Bundle extras = new Bundle();
extras.putString("npa", "1");

AdRequest request = new AdRequest.Builder()
        .addNetworkExtrasBundle(AdMobAdapter.class, extras)
        .build();

[ammarahm-ed]

Yes added. After getting the consent, pass true or false and rest is handled

[ammarahm-ed]

Check the docs. There is a prop to pass consent for EU users.

´requestNonPersonalizedAdsOnly´

@KVinS

[KVinS]

Check the docs. There is a prop to pass consent for EU users.
@KVinS

Thank! In which version lib did you add requestNonPersonalizedAdsOnly?
You can slightly update the description. Now there is the same California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and The Brazillian LGPD (Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados).

[ammarahm-ed]

After v0.3.1 but update to the latest version to save yourself from bugs in older version.

[joshuadiezmo]

I also encounter this problem. any updates on this?

@KVinS what is this piece of code about ?

@KVinS what is this piece of code about ?

This is for the GPDR.

[ammarahm-ed]

@KVinS Please share Logcat so we can fix the error

[ammarahm-ed]

This has been fixed. Try the latest release, v0.3.6 @KVinS @joshuadiezmo @iamshrikantjha @bhavikgajera92 @aminghorbankhani try the example in the project. Now i have added full example for all use cases

[FayyazAliKhan1]

your example app is not running properly showing this error
TypeError: undefined is not a function (near '...$$_REQUIRE(dependencyMap[3], "react-native-admob-native-ads").AdManager.registerRepository...')
ERROR Invariant Violation: Module AppRegistry is not a registered callable module (calling runApplication). A frequent cause of the error is that the application entry file path is incorrect.
This can also happen when the JS bundle is corrupt or there is an early initialization error when loading React Native.
but when I remove all AdManager.registerRepository from index.js the application runs but no ad display

[ammarahm-ed]

@FayyazAliKhan1 Example app is working fine.

[FayyazAliKhan1]

I mean the build is successful in iOS simulator but this error displays when metro bundler loads completely and the app is showing a white screen

[FayyazAliKhan1]

further more I am using my own banner ids and it's almost 4 days that I have implemented it but still ads are not showing to me properly just the above ad logo and small purple box is showing,

[ammarahm-ed]

@FayyazAliKhan1 The latest code with repositories is not released yet. Use the master branch instead if you want to try it out.

yarn add https://github.com/ammarahm-ed/react-native-admob-native-ads.git

You cannot use banner ids with this ad format. You need to generate Native Ad Ids in your Admob Account. Also note that do not use your ad ids in dev mode. Use test ids provided in admob. Read the docs.

[FayyazAliKhan1]

@ammarahm-ed I used the master branch but the error is in version 0.5.0 but when I used version of your repo using
yarn add https://github.com/ammarahm-ed/react-native-admob-native-ads.git which is version 0.6.0 is working in Android very well Thanks, but this version is failing the build of IOS, and showing the below error, please tell me what should I do for IOS.
