[BUG] [IOS]adView:didFailToReceiveAdWithError: Request Error: No ad to show.

[anisc]

On android it works great with this plugin
This issue is only on IOS
When I use the test app id and unit id I get the test ad showing but when I change the ids to mine nothing shows and I have this error:
Invalid Request. Cannot determine request type. Is your ad unit id correct?
adView:didFailToReceiveAdWithError: Request Error: No ad to show.
interstitial:didFailToReceiveAdWithError: Request Error: No ad to show.
I'm using those same ids with Shin-NiL plugin and the ads are showing. so I'm pretty sure I did something work while implementing the plugin
An other question: How can I print the error code number ?

Only iOS have this issue, Android will work fine without add the app on AdMob website.

To fix this you need to publish your game to App Store and wait to appear to add, it can take some days.

I strong recommend you to use only one Plugin, using two plugin to the same thing it's not recommended.

I will close this issue since it's a issue of AdMob and not of this Plugin

The real ads only appear if you add the app on AdMob, here: https://support.google.com/admob/answer/9989980?hl=en

• How can I print the error code number ?

On this file you will have some functions called "banner_failed_to_load", "interstitial_failed_to_load", "rewarded_ad_failed_to_show", "unified_native_failed_to_load", like: https://github.com/Poing-Studios/Godot-AdMob-Android-iOS/blob/master/example/admob_api/MobileAdsBase.gd#L67

You can do a: print(error_code) and check here what the error_code means:

Android: https://developers.google.com/android/reference/com/google/android/gms/ads/AdRequest
iOS: https://developers.google.com/admob/ios/api/reference/Enums/GADErrorCode

One last thing: If you publish you game to App Store and it takes more than 7 days to appear to add to AdMob, you can create a thread here, maybe the Google people will streamline the process of listing your app to add:

https://support.google.com/admob/thread/new?hl=en

It happened to me, I added an app and I waited for approximately 2 weeks to appear and even then it didn't appear, so I created a thread, after a day it appeared to add and the ads started to appear

What do you mean ?

Error Code 1 : ERROR_CODE_INVALID_REQUEST

The ad request was invalid; for instance, the ad unit ID was incorrect.

This commonly suggests that the Ad Request implementation is not as per the SDK’s requirements - Resources like the  sample codes and sample apps provided in the developer documentation can help in implementing the functions correctly. 

so this is an implementation issue.
What was the code you were getting ?

[gumaciel]

@anisc If you use two plugins to the same thing maybe it causes a conflict and your game will not know which is the correct plugin, besides having duplicate code. So I recommend you only use the Shin-Nil or Poing Plugin.

Sorry i don't remember the code but i think was: GADErrorInvalidRequest

Please try with test-ids:

Banner: ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/2934735716
Interstitial: ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/4411468910
Rewarded: ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/1712485313

If the test-ids works then the reason why is not appearing the real ads is this: https://support.google.com/admob/answer/9469204?hl=en

Your app is new and need to be added to App Store, and then linked here: Set up an app listed on a supported store

I took off Shin-Nil plugin I'm only using this one but I was saying that when I used Shin-Nil plugin with those same ids it worked.
any way thank you so much for your help will try it and get back to you.

[gumaciel]

@anisc You're welcome! And know that if the test ad worked then there is nothing wrong with the Plugin, probably your iOS app is new and you need to publish to the App Store and link to AdMob, after that your ads will work normally.

[anisc]

@gustavottc test ids work, I will wait then :)
when I use test id and change is_real, would there be any change ?

[gumaciel]

@anisc I guess no, only on real ads.

On real ads this happens: https://developers.google.com/admob/ios/test-ads#enable_test_devices

If you want to do more rigorous testing with production-looking ads, you can now configure your device as a test device and use your own ad unit IDs that you've created in the AdMob UI. Test devices can either be added in the AdMob UI or programmatically using the Google Mobile Ads SDK.

[anisc]

yeah still nothing, no ads it have been 5 days since it was on the app store, still waiting.
Thank you again bro for the follow up :)

[gumaciel]

Try to rate your game, maybe will make it appear faster.

When your game appear here, then i'm sure your ads will work.

[anisc]

@gustavottc Hi Bro wanted to give you an update.
so I have been waiting for 3 week now, sent emails to admob but nothing can't link my app nor see real ads, until I found this website today:
Google Mobile Ads SDK Developers
opened a discussion and gave them the Apple App Store connect app id, by the end of the day every thing was fixed, was able to connect the app and real ads started show now.

[gumaciel]

Hey @anisc good to hear, i never saw this website.

The Godot 3.3 version has arrived and we finished the AdMob iOS Plugin, if you want to test you are welcome: https://github.com/Poing-Studios/Godot-AdMob-Android-iOS#ios-v33
