• OS: [e.g. Catalina]
• Version [e.g. 10.15.7 (19H15)]

Phone Specification (Android/iOS and Version)

• Device: [e.g. iPhoneX]
• OS: [e.g. iOS8.1]

Describe the bug
Ads still appearing in test mode despite "real" being checked

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Add enable real ads and export to IPhone.

Expected behavior
real ads to be shown

Screenshots
If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

Additional context
I have just re-exported and ensured "real" is checked and made sure to export as a release. I submitted it to the app store for review so I'll let you know when I am approved and if the problem persists on my new version. The app is about 3 weeks old now so it is weird that they are no appearing as real.

Hi, have you done this?

On Export -> Resources -> Filters to export non-resources..., you need to put this: res://addons/admob/*.json

[ACB-prgm]

res://addons/admob/*.json

Nope! Thank you!

[gumaciel]

Sorry about that, I need to re do the video tutorial because it's missing this.

I am getting an error in Xcode now when I try to build however. I don't have time to look through it right now, but here it is:

Error:
Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
"ClassDB::bind_methodfi(unsigned int, MethodBind*, char const*, Variant const**, int)", referenced from:
AdMob::_bind_methods() in admob.a(admob.o)
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

What iOS Plugin and Editor Plugin version are you using?

[ACB-prgm]

0.30

[gumaciel]

Please consider to use at least the 0.4.0, but I recommend the 0.4.2 (latest)

And the iOS: 1.1.0

[ACB-prgm]

Please consider to use at least the 0.4.0, but I recommend the 0.4.2 (latest)

And the iOS: 1.1.0

Using 0.4.1, now nothing happens when the ads should show? Nothing else changed on my end.
I am loading the ads via

func _on_admob_init_complete(status, _adapter_name):
	if status == MobileAds.INITIALIZATION_STATUS.READY:
		MobileAds.load_interstitial()
		MobileAds.load_rewarded()

and then calling them via the show_Xad functions.

Any ideas?

[gumaciel]

Hi, have you changed the iOS Plugin version for 1.1.0?

If so, please try with the "Example.tscn" located on addons/admob/develop to see if is working fine

[ACB-prgm]

I am now using the ios 1.1.0 for 3.3.2 (my version of Godot). But I get the following error from the Xcode debug console:

And nothing happens when an ad is pressed.

[gumaciel]

Have you updated the googlemobileadssdk.zip?

I will try to run on my Mac now to see what happens

[ACB-prgm]

Have you updated the googlemobileadssdk.zip?

I did. I also made sure to go through the info.plist and make sure everything was correct.

Do you think this could be a problem with my Admob?

[gumaciel]

Probably you configured something wrong, always test with the "Example Ids"

@ACB-prgm

Please watch to this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MW4hUR0d9lc&ab_channel=PoingStudios

[gumaciel]

Is there anything you are finding complicated using the Plugin?

I know the Tutorial is not good, but it's just me to make these videos and it's a lot for one person to do, but I hope it helps you.

[gumaciel]

@ACB-prgm just send a new update on master branch to only set to Real when is on release mode, please test it if you can.

[gumaciel]

@ACB-prgm big update released with this update: https://github.com/Poing-Studios/godot-admob-editor/releases/tag/v1.0.0

Soon you will can test here: https://godotengine.org/asset-library/asset/933
