Swift Admob does not show Ad - swift

Question

I am trying to implement an Google AdMob banner ad in my swift application and it simply doesn't show up. I extended the plist to the following.
<key>GADApplicationIdentifier</key>
<string>ca-app-pub-???</string>
<key>SKAdNetworkItems</key>
<array>
<dict>
<key>SKAdNetworkIdentifier</key>
<string>cstr6suwn9.skadnetwork</string>
</dict>
...
</array>
Edited AppDelegate.swift...
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
GADMobileAds.sharedInstance().start(completionHandler: nil)
return true
}
And implemented the banner in my ViewController...
import UIKit
import GoogleMobileAds
class ViewController: UIViewController {
...
private let banner: GADBannerView = {
let banner = GADBannerView()
banner.adUnitID = "ca-app-pub-???/???"
banner.load(GADRequest())
banner.backgroundColor = .secondarySystemBackground
return banner
}()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
banner.rootViewController = self
view.addSubview(banner)
...
}
override func viewDidLayoutSubviews() {
super.viewDidLayoutSubviews()
banner.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: view.frame.size.height-50, width: view.frame.size.width, height: 50)
}
...
}
This code causes the following error and the banner doesn't show up:

Answer 1

Initialisation of GADBannerView is might be wrong in your project as they need adSize as frame
this working fine on my application , I have working production ads,
class HomePageViewController: UIViewController {
private var adMobBannerView1: GADBannerView!
private var adMobBannerView2: GADBannerView!
override func viewDidLoad() {
setupAdMobBannerAD()
}
private func setupAdMobBannerAD() {
let sizeForBanner = GADAdSizeFromCGSize(.init(width: view.frame.width, height: 50))
// here you need to intilise GADBannerView with adSize of GADAdSizeFromCGSize
adMobBannerView1 = GADBannerView(adSize: sizeForBanner)
adMobBannerView2 = GADBannerView(adSize: sizeForBanner)
adMobBannerView1.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
adMobBannerView2.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
view.addSubview(adMobBannerView1)
view.addSubview(adMobBannerView2)
adMobBannerView1.delegate = self
adMobBannerView2.delegate = self
NSLayoutConstraint.activate([
adMobBannerView1.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.safeAreaLayoutGuide.bottomAnchor),
adMobBannerView1.centerXAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.safeAreaLayoutGuide.centerXAnchor),
adMobBannerView2.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.safeAreaLayoutGuide.topAnchor , constant: 20 ),
adMobBannerView2.centerXAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.safeAreaLayoutGuide.centerXAnchor),
])
adMobBannerView2.adUnitID = Constants.secondAdBannerString
// I have saved my bannerID String in another class don't worry about this
adMobBannerView2.rootViewController = self
adMobBannerView1.adUnitID = Constants.firstAdBannerString
// I have saved my bannerID String in another class don't worry about this
adMobBannerView1.rootViewController = self
adMobBannerView2.load(GADRequest())
adMobBannerView1.load(GADRequest())
}
}
you want to add some delegate to get informed by admob if there is any problem with your ad account or something
extension HomePageViewController : GADBannerViewDelegate {
func bannerView(_ bannerView: GADBannerView, didFailToReceiveAdWithError error: Error) {
print("admob banner ad failecd to show going to represent adolony \n")
if DataModel.shared.showAdmobAd {
self.requestAdColonyBanners()
// any alternative method can be performed here as we this function will be called by admob incase you didn't get banner ad , in my case I m launching ads form another ad service called adcolony
}
}
}
