I try to setup interstitial ads in my app. If I use a test unit ID, ad shows fine, but if I try to use the real unit ID, I see the error "Ad wasn't ready". What I do wrong? Thank for any help!
My code:
import UIKit
import GoogleMobileAds
class ViewController: UIViewController {
var interstitial: GADInterstitial!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
interstitial = createAndLoadInterstitial()
}
override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
super.viewWillAppear(animated)
DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 3) {
if self.interstitial.isReady {
self.interstitial.present(fromRootViewController: self)
} else {
print("Ad wasn't ready")
}
}
}
func createAndLoadInterstitial() -> GADInterstitial {
let interstitial = GADInterstitial(adUnitID: "AdMob Real Unit ID")
interstitial.delegate = self
let request = GADRequest()
GADMobileAds.sharedInstance().requestConfiguration.testDeviceIdentifiers = ["my device ID from console"]
interstitial.load(request)
return interstitial
}
}
extension ViewController: GADInterstitialDelegate {
func interstitialDidDismissScreen(_ ad: GADInterstitial) {
interstitial = createAndLoadInterstitial()
}
}
Console:
Launching interstitial ad immediately after page load is disallowed.
Refer Disallowed Interstitial implementation policy https://support.google.com/admob/answer/6201362?hl=en
A common issue is that even though you may intend for the ad to load
in between page content, the ad itself appears shortly after a new
page of content has loaded due to carrier latency. To prevent this
from happening, we recommend you pre-load the interstitial in advance.
To learn more about how to pre-load your interstitial ad, please
follow the AdMob Interstitial Ad developer guidelines for apps
developed for Android and iOS.
Only load the ad on viewDidLoad () https://developers.google.com/admob/ios/interstitial
class ViewController: UIViewController {
var interstitial: GADInterstitial!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
interstitial = GADInterstitial(adUnitID: "ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/4411468910")
let request = GADRequest()
interstitial.load(request)
}
}
and then Interstitials should be displayed during natural pauses in the flow of an app. Between levels of a game is a good example, or after the user completes a task.
#IBAction func doSomething(_ sender: AnyObject) {
...
if interstitial.isReady {
interstitial.present(fromRootViewController: self)
} else {
print("Ad wasn't ready")
}
}
Solved:
To display your ad units, your AdMob account must be verified.
You must see message in the Google AdMob Console:
Your account is approved
Congratulations! We've verified your account information and your ad serving is enabled.

So, I had the interstitial ads working fine by following the code on the Admob website and then recently I updated my pods and with it the GoogleAdMob SDK.
Now when my interstitial Ad should present, nothing happens and in the console I have this error:
<GoogleThe provided view controller is not being presented.
[ProcessSuspension] 0x110adfbd0 - ProcessAssertion::processAssertionWasInvalidated()
Here is my code:
extension FirstViewController: GADInterstitialDelegate {
func showInterstitialAd() {
if interstitial.isReady {
interstitial.present(fromRootViewController: self)
} else {
print("Ad wasn't ready")
}
}
func createAndLoadInterstitial() -> GADInterstitial {
var interstitial = GADInterstitial(adUnitID: "ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/4411468910")
interstitial.delegate = self
interstitial.load(GADRequest())
return interstitial
}
func interstitialDidDismissScreen(_ ad: GADInterstitial) {
interstitial = createAndLoadInterstitial()
}
}
In viewDidLoad I call:
func setUpInterstitial() {
interstitial = GADInterstitial(adUnitID: "ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/4411468910")
interstitial.delegate = self
let request = GADRequest()
interstitial.load(request)
}
and in ViewWillAppear
if InterstitialAd.counter >= 3 { self.showInterstitialAd(); InterstitialAd.counter = 0}
The intended logic is every 3 times a user views a page, namely FirstViewController, an interstitial ad shows.
Thank you in advance :)
You can update your code like below:
override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
super.viewDidAppear(animated)
if InterstitialAd.counter >= 3 {
self.showInterstitialAd();
InterstitialAd.counter = 0
}
}
Remove your code from viewWillAppear.
I have generated test ads in my app and displayed it whenever the user presses the exit button. But, as the user presses the button the test ad is generated perfectly, but then it is not able to perform segue-way to switch to the main view controller. Any suggestions on how can I solve this issue! I have provided the following code to generate test ads for your reference below. Would appreciate your help!
import GoogleMobileAds
class ThirdViewController: UIViewController {
var interstitial: GADInterstitial!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
interstitial = GADInterstitial(adUnitID: "ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/4411468910")
let request = GADRequest()
interstitial.load(request)
}
#IBAction func exitButtonTapped(_ sender: Any) {
if (interstitial.isReady) {
interstitial.present(fromRootViewController: self)
interstitial = createAndLoadInterstitial()
}
performSegue(withIdentifier: "3to1segue", sender: self)
}
func createAndLoadInterstitial() -> GADInterstitial {
let inter = GADInterstitial(adUnitID: "ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/4411468910")
inter.load(GADRequest())
return inter
}
I implemented a test adMob with Firebase:
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
interstitial = createAndLoadInterstitial()
interstitial.delegate = self
....}
func createAndLoadInterstitial() -> GADInterstitial {
var interstitial = GADInterstitial(adUnitID: "testVideo")
interstitial.delegate = self
interstitial.load(GADRequest())
return interstitial
}
func interstitialWillDismissScreen(_ ad: GADInterstitial) {
print("interstitialWillDismissScreen")
UserDefaults.standard.set(false, forKey: "adWasShowing")
}
func interstitialDidDismissScreen(_ ad: GADInterstitial) {
if ... {
...
}
interstitial = createAndLoadInterstitial()
print("interstitialDidDismissScreen")
}
The problem is when I get an ad (5sec video) and take the app to background and then to foreground again
interstitialWillDismissScreen and interstitialDidDismissScreen
automatically gets called resulting in closing the ad. I think many users will use this exploit to not stay on the video. Any idea on how to solve this?
I tried to set up a bool in UserDefaults in the "interstitialWillPresentScreen" and check it at "applicationWillEnterForeground", but I don't like this idea and also the interstitial request is not yet loaded (interstitialRequest must be recreated for every ad).
Right now it only shows the full page ad one time. When I go back and press the button again it does not show. I would like it to show overtime my button is clicked. I have my AdMob hooked up to my Firebase project.
class FirstViewController: UIViewController, UIAlertViewDelegate {
var interstitial: GADInterstitial!
#IBAction func loadAd(_ sender: Any) {
if (interstitial.isReady){
interstitial.present(fromRootViewController: self)
}
}
override func viewDidLoad() {
interstitial = GADInterstitial(adUnitID: "ca-app-pub-11111111/9758796532")
let request = GADRequest()
interstitial.load(request)
super.viewDidLoad()
}
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
}
You need to create GAD request every time.
GADInterstitial is a one time use object. That means once an
interstitial is shown, hasBeenUsed returns true and the interstitial
can't be used to load another ad. To request another interstitial,
you'll need to create a new GADInterstitial object. The best practice,
as shown above, is to have a helper method to handle creating and
loading an interstitial.
#IBAction func loadAd(_ sender: Any) {
interstitial = GADInterstitial(adUnitID: "ca-app-pub-11111111/9758796532")
interstitial.delegate = self
let request = GADRequest()
interstitial.load(request)
}
And while loaded successfully you need to present at delegate method
optional func interstitialDidReceiveAd(_ ad: GADInterstitial!){
if (interstitial.isReady){
interstitial.present(fromRootViewController: self)
}
}
optional func interstitialWillDismissScreen(_ ad: GADInterstitial!){
interstitial.delegate = nil
interstitial = nil
}
optional func interstitialDidFail(toPresentScreen ad: GADInterstitial!){
interstitial.delegate = nil
interstitial = nil
}

When dismissing the interstitial we have to create and make load request for next interstitial ads.
func interstitialDidDismissScreen(_ ad: GADInterstitial) {
interstitial = createAndLoadInterstitial()
}
The best place to allocate another interstitial is in the interstitialDidDismissScreen: method on GADInterstitialDelegate so that the next interstitial starts loading as soon as the previous one is dismissed. You may even consider breaking out interstitial initialization into its own helper method:

I'm developing an iOS application using Swift2 and Xcode7. I'm trying to implement AdMob but it doesn't display my interstitial ad.
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
_interstitial = createAndLoadInterstitial()
}
func createAndLoadInterstitial()->GADInterstitial {
let interstitial = GADInterstitial(adUnitID: "interstitial_ID")
let gadRequest:GADRequest = GADRequest()
gadRequest.testDevices = ["test device id"]
interstitial.delegate = self
interstitial?.loadRequest(gadRequest)
return interstitial!
}
func interstitialDidReceiveAd(ad: GADInterstitial!) {
_interstitial?.presentFromRootViewController(self)
}
func interstitial(ad: GADInterstitial!, didFailToReceiveAdWithError error: GADRequestError!) {
print(error.localizedDescription)
}
func interstitialDidDismissScreen(ad: GADInterstitial!) {
_interstitial = createAndLoadInterstitial()
}
I receive this error:
Request Error: No ad to show.
Request Error: No ad to show.
means that your request was successful but that Admob has no ad to show for your device at this time. The best way to ensure that you always have ads to show is to use mediation so that an unfulfilled request falls through to another ad network. Admob provides good mechanisms to do that.
You should have two Ad Unit ID's. One for your GADBannerView and one for your GADInterstitial. Make sure your Ad Unit ID supplied by AdMob for your interstitial is exactly the same as what they've given you. Update to the latest AdMob SDK, currently 7.5.0. Also consider calling presentFromRootViewController(self) at specific intervals or once the user completes a desired action. The way you have it setup now will keep presenting interstitials one after another because you are sending requests for new interstitials every time one is dismissed and then displaying the interstitial as soon as it receives an ad.
import UIKit
import GoogleMobileAds
class ViewController: UIViewController, GADInterstitialDelegate {
var myInterstitial : GADInterstitial?
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
myInterstitial = createAndLoadInterstitial()
}
func createAndLoadInterstitial()->GADInterstitial {
let interstitial = GADInterstitial(adUnitID: "Your Ad Unit ID")
interstitial.delegate = self
interstitial?.loadRequest(GADRequest())
return interstitial
}
#IBAction func someButton(sender: AnyObject) {
myInterstitial?.presentFromRootViewController(self)
}
func interstitialDidReceiveAd(ad: GADInterstitial!) {
print("interstitialDidReceiveAd")
}
func interstitial(ad: GADInterstitial!, didFailToReceiveAdWithError error: GADRequestError!) {
print(error.localizedDescription)
}
func interstitialDidDismissScreen(ad: GADInterstitial!) {
print("interstitialDidDismissScreen")
myInterstitial = createAndLoadInterstitial()
}
