iOS Error with requestConsentInfo - No ViewController

[kisimediaDE]

Describe the bug Ask consent on iOS via the code

  async showConsent() {
    const consentInfo = await AdMob.requestConsentInfo();

    if (
      consentInfo.isConsentFormAvailable &&
      consentInfo.status === AdmobConsentStatus.REQUIRED
    ) {
      const { status } = await AdMob.showConsentForm();
      console.log(status);
    }
  }

I get the following message in Xcode when I try to run the app:

⚡️  TO JS {"isConsentFormAvailable":true,"status":"REQUIRED"}
⚡️  To Native ->  AdMob showConsentForm 94268627
ERROR MESSAGE:  {"message":"No ViewController","errorMessage":"No ViewController"}

The app is already deployed to the App Store but no Consent Window is shown and the app don't show ads anymore.

Adding this part did not make difference:

  const consentInfo = await AdMob.requestConsentInfo({
    debugGeography: AdmobConsentDebugGeography.EEA,
    testDeviceIdentifiers: ['YOUR_DEVICE_ID']
  });

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create an Capacitor app with AdMob
2. Add consent code from README.MD
3. Start the app in Xcode
4. See error

Expected behavior The consent window to show and then display ads

Same issue for my app

By looking at the code it seems that the reason is the following function returning nil func getRootVC() -> UIViewController? { var window: UIWindow? = UIApplication.shared.delegate?.window ?? nil if window == nil { let scene: UIWindowScene? = UIApplication.shared.connectedScenes.first as? UIWindowScene window = scene?.windows.filter({$0.isKeyWindow}).first if window == nil { window = scene?.windows.first } } return window?.rootViewController }

I had the same problem and I solved it like below:

In my case I thought I was supposed to call AdMob.requestConsentInfo() and AdMob.showConsentForm() first and the depending on the response finally call AdMob.initialize(). But it seems like you first need to call AdMob.initialize() and then the consent stuff.

Not sure I'm doing it right but then it worked for me. I moved down my logic so I only call AdMob.showBanner() when a consent is obtained, so no banners is shown before consent is made.

Thanks for issue.Perhaps there is a problem with the order of method calls. Please refer to the following to execute.
