I'm trying to add ads to my Android version of my app. I've read everything I could find; but now, I'm stuck. So far, this is what I have done:
1) Added Android version of my app to Admob
2) Updated Manifest with the following:
2) Added FirebaseAdmob library in IDE (none of the services were added, at this point. Admob not linked to Firebase)
3) Added to Service_Create Sub in Starter Module:
Dim MobileAds As MobileAds
MobileAds.Initialize
4) Updated SDK with all Recommended items.
5) Added Erel's CheckForGooglePlayServices Sub to Starter Module
6) Implemented code to show ad:
Dim iad As InterstitialAd
iad.Initialize("iad","ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/1033173712") 'Google test Interstitial ad
iad.load
Observations:
Programs compiles without errors
iad.Ready always returns false
iad_ReceiveAd never fires
And a really strange thing happened twice: I saw the sample ad appear on the device when it wasn't called. I don't know how or what caused it. I can't duplicate it, either. That incident gave me hope that I was on the right track, but alas, I'm stuck.
As always, thanks in advance for any help.
