how-to: Use different ADMOB_APP_ID for Android and iOS #302

Open svzi opened 5 years ago

svzi commented 5 years ago

I tried to update this plugin to the current version, but I'm unable to add the ADMOB_APP_ID via CLI installation, because I use a different ADMOB_APP_ID for each mobile operating system (one for Android, one for iOS).

What am I supposed to do in order to get the newest version of this plugin running?

zigou13 commented 5 years ago

I have the same concern as you, if we have two ADMOB IDs (one for IOS and one for Android)

svzi commented 5 years ago

@ratson Any update on this?

fmendoza commented 5 years ago

Maybe App ID is not required for iOS?

svzi commented 5 years ago

@fmendoza I don't know how that should help. Did you read my first post?

lucaele commented 5 years ago

Same request, any fix?

svzi commented 5 years ago

I've switched to https://github.com/admob-plus/admob-plus meanwhile.

I have the same concern. When creating an App in Google Admob, we can choose the App platform to be Android or iOS. In most cases, user will create separate App ID for both platforms

This plugin seems to only able to add one App ID. In such case, banner ad is not showing in my Android device, but does appear in my iOS device. Not sure if this is because the APP ID is not matching the Ad Unit ID in my Android phone.

edento commented 5 years ago

@AhSem I don't think that's the issue, since the same app id is working for both iOS and android (on testing mode anyway). But its kinda problematic not to be able separate your incomes by platform...

AhSem commented 5 years ago

@edento , thank you for your reply. Correct me if I am wrong. You mean that in Google Admob, regardless what platform we created the App ID, it can be used interchangeably for both Android and iOS platforms in this plugin?

edento commented 5 years ago

@AhSem Yes. Maybe it shouldn't, but it does. My app now has ads in both platforms with same ID, but make sure not to miss this: I am still on testing mode, maybe it wouldn't work on production.

Any update on this?

And yes you need to use separate APP IDs. Even Google tells to use different IDs for different OSes (i.e. you cannot create an admob app for both OSes)

So as of right now we have no answers from @ratson nor a way of handling a separate APP_ID per OS??? I guess I will have to use another plugin :-/

Looking at the code it is clear that this plugin supports APP ID for Android only. AdMob SDK for Android requires APP ID in AndroidManifest file since version 17.0.0. This plugin satisfies that requirement.

@ratson has another plugin under development that supports APP IDs for Android and iOS. See https://github.com/admob-plus/admob-plus for more info.
