🐛 [firebase_admob] Cannot load a new (or a few) RewardedAd while showing preloaded one

[alectogeek]

Bug report

I need to show a few rewarded ads in a row but the package doesn't let me do so. According to package documentation, I can load 1 ad at a time, so I tried to load the next video as soon as I started showing already preloaded one.

Though according to android AdMobv SDK documentation, there is a new API allowing to load more than one ad at a time. (https://developers.google.com/admob/android/rewarded-ads#loading_multiple_rewarded_ads)

Hi @alectogeek, Can you provide the admob plugin version you are using ? There's a new dev release of the plugin that you might want to try, if not already.

Also, if problem persists, please provide a minimal reproducible code sample that shows the issue. Thanks.

Hi @darshankawar, I use the latest available on the pub 0.9.3+4 version. I will try the dev version, thanks!

@darshankawar unfortunately, it didn't work.

Looks like I have a similar issue as in https://github.com/FirebaseExtended/flutterfire/issues/1178. The minimal reproducible code sample can be found there, it's exactly what I'm trying to do. But in my case, I really need to be able to show a few Rewarded ads in a row! So it would be cool to be able to start loading the next video while the user watches the preloaded one.

In #1178 it is said that there is a native SDK limitation, but according to current documentation, there is a new API allowing to load multiple videos (if I understood it correctly).

Thanks!

Any updates here? Should we... wait for any updates in the nearest future?

[alectogeek]

@darshankawar can I somehow help to accelerate feature this feature implementation/fix? We really need an ability to show a few ads in a row to earn in our apps.

Is there any update ?

Any updates here? Unity allows using multiple instances of RewardedVideoAds to reflect the different Ad Units (recommended by Admob documentation). I'm not seeing how to do that with Flutter.

The firebase_admob plugin will be deprecated in April 2021 in favor of Google Mobile Ads SDK for Flutter. Google Mobile Ads SDK for Flutter is a new Flutter plugin that supports more Ads formats than firebase_admob does. Google Mobile Ads SDK for Flutter currently supports loading and displaying banner, interstitial (full-screen), native ads, and rewarded video ads across AdMob and AdManager. It also supports displaying banner and native ads as Widgets as opposed to being overlayed over all app content. We're now recommending projects currently using firebase_admob migrate to Google Mobile Ads SDK for Flutter following the instructions outlined here. Issues with migrating or with using the new package should now be raised over on the Google Mobile Ads SDK for Flutter repository.
