Android Question Rewarded Interstitial - "Cannot determine request type. Is your ad unit id correct?"

[DOM85]

Hello everyone,

I am developing an Android game called Maze-Mania with B4A 12.80 and FirebaseAdmob2 v3.21.

The application is now publicly published on Google Play and has been successfully linked to my AdMob account.

My AdMob configuration is the following:

• App ID: ca-app-pub-5538406962438606~xxxxxxxxxx
• Rewarded Interstitial Ad Unit ID: ca-app-pub-5538406962438606/xxxxxxxxxx

These IDs were copied directly from my AdMob account.

The initialization code is:

Ads.Initialize
Wait For (MobileAds.Initialize) MobileAds_Ready

If Ads.GetConsentStatus = "UNKNOWN" Or Ads.GetConsentStatus = "REQUIRED" Then
Wait For (Ads.RequestConsentInformation(False)) Complete (Success As Boolean)
End If

If Ads.GetConsentStatus = "REQUIRED" And Ads.GetConsentFormAvailable Then
Wait For (Ads.ShowConsentForm) Complete (Success As Boolean)
End If

LoadAds
The rewarded interstitial is loaded with:

Ads.FetchRewardedInterstitialAd("ca-app-pub-5538406962438606/xxxxxxxxx", Me, "RewardedInterstitialAd")
The callbacks are:

Sub RewardedInterstitialAd_ReceiveAd
IndicInterstitialReward = True
End Sub

Sub RewardedInterstitialAd_FailedToReceiveAd (ErrorCode As String)
Log(ErrorCode)
End Sub
The problem is that neither RewardedInterstitialAd_ReceiveAd nor RewardedInterstitialAd_FailedToReceiveAd is ever called.

The log shows:

After MobileAds_Ready

onConsentInfoUpdateFailure:
Publisher misconfiguration:
Failed to read publisher's account configuration;
no form(s) configured for the input app ID.

Consent: UNKNOWN

Failed:
Code: 1
Message:
Error building request URL:
Cannot determine request type.
Is your ad unit id correct?
Additional information:

• The application is already public on Google Play.
• The package name is correct.
• The Ad Unit ID was copied directly from AdMob.
• The same project previously worked correctly with Google's test ad IDs.
• My application is currently under AdMob review ("Review required").

Has anyone encountered this error with Rewarded Interstitial ads?

Could this be related to the current AdMob review, the consent configuration, or is there another possible cause?

Thank you very much for any advice.

The rewarded interstitial in this example is working:

[B4XPages] Admob Example

Check this other excellent example from @Jack Cole. To help the new members to make money with B4A, I tried to compile all the relevant Admob code (except mediation) of the forum in this example and put comments and links. This is a work in progress. Any code and sample to improve this example...

Try to run it. If don't works the problem could be with your tools.

Maybe could be the B4A version (12.80) or your SDK is not updated.
The rewarded interstitial requires Google Mobile Ads SDK 19.2.0 or higher.

I'm using B4A 13.50 with FirebaseAdmob2 3.22 and have no problems with rewarded ads.

Thank you for your Help and for your answer.
My code use as example the good one of yours.

Please, do you know how i could verify which Google Mobile Ads SDK version is included in my B4A FirebaseAdMob2 library?

Thank you.
Please, where is "Google Mobile Ads SDK" version ?
Is my version difference 24.4.0 / 24.6.0 on "com.google.android.gmsplay-services-ads-api" and "com.google.android.gmsplay-services-ads-lite-license" important ?

Note, ads are well displayed with tests ID, and are not displayed vith my own Admob ID.

I don't use the rewarded interstitial in production. Only the rewarded ad.

If worked with the test ID, maybe could be fixed when the app is released in production.
Maybe could be related with the B4A version, because there are so many changes to the actual version.
Or could be other problem that I don't know.

You can try too with the rewarded ad instead the rewarded interstitial.
