Android Question FireBase Ads Integration problem

[walterf25]

Hello All, i just integrated the FireBase Admob library in a remake of one of my apps, it's been more than 24 hours and I still can't see any ads being displayed.

I followed the integration instructions here, I believe i have done everything right per the instructions, I did try setting up a TestDevice ID and using the Test AdUnitID they suggest in their documentation, by doing this I can see a Test Ad, but when I go back to using my actual AdUnitID that i created in the AdMob dashboard i can't see any ads.

The Sub admob_FailedToReceiveAd (ErrorCode As String) Event keeps being raised and the Error code is always 3.

I've looked in the unfiltered logs and I can see the following message.

App does not have the required permissions to get location
SDK version: afma-sdk-a-v14574019.14300000.1

Is it really necessary to Add location permissions, i could not find any reference in the forums to this, I remember the days when it used to be so easy to integrate ads into your apps, of course i haven't done this in a while so I may be missing something, has anyone had this issue and if so how did you solve it, any suggestions?

By the way I am also implementing the Consent screen for the users so that they can opt in or opt out of receiving ads.

Thanks All.
Walter

No.

Error codes: https://developers.google.com/andro.../android/gms/ads/AdRequest#ERROR_CODE_NO_FILL

This means that AdMob didn't return any ad. It will probably start working in a day or two.

Uhmm, that's interesting it's been more than 48 hours now and I still don't see any ads, i'll wait some more.
On the Consent request, this line

Log("EU: " & consent.IsRequestLocationInEeaOrUnknown)

Is always NO, why would that be, I'm in the US.

Thanks,
Walter

US is not in the EU. Maybe that´s the reason for the NO

You're right, i had not checked the documentation for that.

Ooops

Cheers,
