expo-ads-admob
Source code for the deprecated expo-ads-admob package. This module is removed from Expo SDK in SDK 46. There will be no replacement that works with the classic build service (
expo build) because the classic build service has been superseded by EAS Build. With EAS Build and Development Builds, you should use react-native-google-mobile-ads instead.
Provides support for the Google AdMob SDK (https://www.google.com/admob/) for mobile advertising. This module is largely based of the react-native-admob (https://github.com/sbugert/react-native-admob) module, as the documentation and questions surrounding that module may prove helpful. A simple example implementing AdMob SDK can be found at https://github.com/deadcoder0904/expo-google-admob.
Installation in bare React Native projects
For bare React Native projects, you must ensure that you have installed and configured the expo package before continuing.
Add the package to your npm dependencies
expo install expo-ads-admob
Configure for iOS
Run npx pod-install after installing the npm package.
In your app's Info.plist file, add a GADApplicationIdentifier key with a string value of your AdMob app ID, as shown in Google's Mobile Ads SDK iOS docs.
<key>GADApplicationIdentifier</key>
<string>ca-app-pub-3940256099942544~1458002511</string>Add NSUserTrackingUsageDescription key to your Info.plist:
<key>NSUserTrackingUsageDescription</key>
<string>This identifier will be used to deliver personalized ads to you.</string>Add the required SKAdNetworkIdentifier items to your Info.plist: Google SKAdNetwork.
Configure for Android
Ensure that there is a meta-data element inside the application node inside AndroidManifest.xml file (located typically under /android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml) with android:name of "com.google.android.gms.ads.APPLICATION_ID" and a value of your AdMob App ID. Google's Mobile Ads SDK documentation shows precisely how to do this here. In the end your AndroidManifest.xml should look more or less like this:
<manifest>
<application>
...
<!-- Ensure that tag with this name and proper value is inside application -->
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.APPLICATION_ID"
android:value="ca-app-pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx~yyyyyyyyyy"/> <!-- App ID -->
<!-- You can find your App ID in the AdMob UI -->
...
</application>
</manifest>This package automatically adds the INTERNET permission. It's required to interact with Google's service.
<manifest>
<!-- Added permissions -->
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
</manifest>
