invalid action

[mugenyi]

hello, i am getting invalid action error whenever i try to display banners on android emulator. interstitials work perfectly and also on ios emulator.

admob.banner.config({ id: 'ca-app-pubxxxxxxxx', isTesting: true, autoShow: true, bannerAtTop: false })

// Create banner

admob.banner.prepare()

Sometimes this happens because of newly created adspace in AdMob. Once adspace starts severing ads after 2-3 hours then it should start working, check with AdMob test ids.

@mugenyi Do you get it working now?

Hi @ratson,

I'm getting the same issue as well..

admobFree.banner.config({ id: '...', isTesting: true, autoShow: true });
admobFree.banner.prepare();

This happens whether I use test IDs or live ad IDs..

Can you please advise how to resolve this?

const bannerConfig: AdMobFreeBannerConfig = { isTesting:true, autoShow: true };

  console.log(bannerConfig);

  this.admobFree.banner.config(bannerConfig);

  this.admobFree.banner.prepare()
    .then(() => {
      console.log("banner load page");
      // banner Ad is ready
      // if we set autoShow to false, then we will need to call the show method here
    })
    .catch(e => console.log(e));

yes getting this as well. With test and live ids. This happens with both banner and interstitials.

@ratson

This happens when newer versions of cordova-android version is above 6.2.3.

Adding platform as ionic cordova plaform add android@6.2.3 works.

[carliblaz]

Did anyone figure this out with newer android version?

[AhSem]

Also facing the same problem.

[gastonche]

Has anyone been able to find a solution to this problem, because none of the solutions above seem to work for me. Anybody?

[theomgdev]

It doesn't effect anything. If It is an alertbox just set window.alert = function (){} like this, to an empty function. If it is a runtime error just try catch, if it is an compiler error use //@ts-ignore comment.

Of course it is just a temporary solution.

For anyone stumbling on this issue, double check you're using a test ad ID and not an actual one.
