Ads dont play before the video

[aakashr143]

On both iOS and android ads dont play before the video

• iphone 11 Pro Max running iOS 13
• iphone 5 S running iOS 12
• Nokia 3.4 running android 10

since there is no domain for the iframe to verify, youtube will not play ads. (#98 too is a related issue)

p.s: how youtube decides to show ads

[prisar]

Is it ok if ads are not displayed. will it be in compliance of YouTube policy

[LonelyCpp]

@prisar definitely not a violation of policy. The library itself does nothing to prevent ads, youtube decides this based on the origin URL

@LonelyCpp My app just got removed from the store for being non-compliant in Youtube policies. Earlier I got a review rejected for playing the video in background. Which actually was not happening. I am not sure why, thought that it maybe related to displaying ads. Currently, there are not ads in the app.

[LonelyCpp]

it's unlikely to be because of ads. The youtube native sdk (provided by google) also does not show ads.

The background play might be the cause since google has some automated tests to check this. To be 100% sure, use AppState to only render the component if currentState is active.

here's another related thread - #72

@LonelyCpp After putting the condition for currentState to be inactive and background seems to be compliant. #72 has the same issue from what I have read. It really helped.
Now the app is available again:)
