AdMob Native ads are not working

lukz commented 5 years ago

Hi!

I'm successfully using Google Mobile Ads robopod for banner, interstitial and rewarded ads.

While trying to set up native ads with:

NSMutableArray<GADAdLoaderOptions> optionsArray = new NSMutableArray<>();
optionsArray.add(videoOptions);

List <GADAdLoaderAdType> adTypes = new ArrayList<>();
adTypes.add(GADAdLoaderAdType.UnifiedNative);

adLoader = new GADAdLoader(TEST_ID, rootViewController, adTypes, optionsArray);

I get an error:

It looks like the problem is related to passing GADAdLoaderAdType's list to the GADAdLoader constructor.

I've tried few different admob framework versions with the same results.

Is it a robopod bug or am I doing something wrong?

Google mobile ads framework: 7.31.0 Robopods: 2.2.3-SNAPSHOT RoboVM: 2.3.7

I guess you're the first person to integrate native ads :).

You can try https://github.com/MobiVM/robovm-robopods/pull/77. You'll need to build it locally and ideally depend on 7.42.2.

This is what I thought ;)

I'll try it and let you know if it works, thanks!

Any updates on this?

We decided to postpone native ads implementation and didn't come back to it yet.
