admob-plus-cordova Not Working in Capacitor

[harryt2]

The capacitor plugin is very old and the interstitials don't work after the first .showInterstitial().

If you try to use the admob-plus-cordova plugin, it throws an error on iOS that reads Value of type 'WKWebView' has no member 'engineWebView' on line 180 of the AMBPlugin.swift file.

@harryt2 Would you try the latest version to see if it works?

[harryt2]

Just tried it and had the same problem.

Asked Claude about it and it said

The error message "Value of type 'WKWebView' has no member 'engineWebView'" indicates that the WKWebView class does not have a property or member named engineWebView.

In Capacitor, the web view is directly accessible through the WKWebView class, and there is no need for the engineWebView property that is specific to Cordova.

To fix this issue, you can modify the code to work with Capacitor by directly accessing the WKWebView instance. 

Not sure if the above helps or not. After inspecting the WKWebView class it looks like this:

@harryt2 Just realize your were using the cordova plugin, which is not supported for capacitor. Please use @admob-plus/capacitor instead, see https://admob-plus.github.io/docs/capacitor

[harryt2]

Ah ok, didn't realize it wouldn't work. Thanks for looking into it.

Trying out the capacitor one since you pushed an update on April 8th.

Should the version bump of the ads SDK also be in the AdmobPlusCapacitor.podspec file? I think it's still 8.13.0 in there so when I npx cap sync it's adding that one.

[harryt2]

Got an error on line 47 of the AMBInterstitial.swift (also in AMBRewardedInterstital)

Cannot override 'adDidPresentFullScreenContent' which has been marked unavailable

func adDidPresentFullScreenContent(_ ad: GADFullScreenPresentingAd) {
     self.emit(AMBEvents.interstitialShow)
}

[harryt2]

A couple more in AdMobPlusPlugin.swift:50

Value of type 'GADRequestConfiguration' has no member 'tag' Value of type 'GADRequestConfiguration' has no member 'tagForUnderAge'

 @objc func configRequest(_ call: CAPPluginCall) {
        let ctx = AMBContext(call)
        let requestConfiguration = GADMobileAds.sharedInstance().requestConfiguration

        if let maxAdContentRating = ctx.optMaxAdContentRating() {
            requestConfiguration.maxAdContentRating = maxAdContentRating
        }

        if let tag = ctx.optChildDirectedTreatmentTag() {
            requestConfiguration.tag(forChildDirectedTreatment: tag)
        }

        if let tag = ctx.optUnderAgeOfConsentTag() {
            requestConfiguration.tagForUnderAge(ofConsent: tag)
        }

        if let testDevices = ctx.optTestDeviceIds() {
            requestConfiguration.testDeviceIdentifiers = testDevices
        }

        ctx.resolve()
    }

Seems like a lot has changed between the versions

[harryt2]

Just tried @admob-plus/capacitor@2.0.0-alpha.3 and it works! Closing this thread.
