Aug 12, 2019 Replies: 42 Google has added a few new requirements to AdMob implementation. You must make these changes if you are using the latest versions of Android SDK libraries (firebase-ads 18.1.1+). Instructions: 2. Find your AdMob app id and add it to the manifest editor: Code: 'This is a sample AdMob app id. You need to change it to your id. AddReplacement($ADMOB_APP_ID$, ca-app-pub-3940256099942544~3347511713) How to find the id: https://support.google.com/admob/answer/7356431?hl=en 3. Initialize MobileAds in Service_Create of the starter service: Code: Dim MobileAds As MobileAds MobileAds.Initialize 4. Open Tools - B4A Sdk Manager and update all the recommended items. If the app immediately crashes then it is likely that the app id is wrong. Start with the sample app id and then change it to your app id. Library is included as an internal library.

Computersmith64 Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Sep 2, 2019 #28 Just wondering why this library update was required? I was already using firebase-ads v18.2.0 & added: Code: <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.APPLICATION_ID" android:value="ca-app-pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx~yyyyyyyyyy"/> to the manifest - which all seemed to work fine. Are there other changes that necessitated the new FirebaseAdMob library? - Colin.

iz0ndg Active Member Licensed User Longtime User Sep 3, 2019 #29 Is it normal that, after following the instructions for using the FirebaseAdMob v1.6 library, I recompiled the app, I get 99% of the time the error code 3? (1 of 100 advertising appears). The old app, which is also on the PlayStore, works.

I had the same issue with a test build of an app on one of my devices, but the ads worked ok on a different device with the same build. I thought it was a bit strange. - Colin.

It looks like Google is more aggressive in preventing ads from being displayed during development.

asales Expert Licensed User Longtime User Sep 4, 2019 #32 I want to test the B4A 9.50 beta, but I have several apps with ads and I don't want update it now. I can use this version 1.60 with the old version of Firebase (< 18.1.1), without made the modifications? Or I need install the B4A 9.50 and replace the internal FirebaseAdmod 1.60 with the previous version 1.55?

This is driving me nuts. How are we supposed to check if ads are working correctly if Google won't serve them during development?
