useAppOpenAd still shows after disabling it

[andkom]

I have paid option to disable ads:

useAppOpenAd(initialized && !disableAds ? unitId : null, {
  showOnColdStart: false,
  showOnAppForeground: true,
});

but after an user purchases ads removal, app open ad still shows on app foreground

[nguyen95]

I used AppOpenAd component and it work. In your case, I think init method not called again
Doc: https://react-native-admob.github.io/admob/docs/api/AppOpenAd

[andkom]

the issue is: once AppOpenAd has been initialized, there is no way do disable it runtime. Only restart the app.

[nguyen95]

Please read the doc.
Call AppOpenAd.createAd('', {
showOnColdStart: false,
showOnAppForeground: false,
})
again to disable

[nguyen95]

Note that the unitId in second must be different in first, if not, the init() method in native code will not call again

[Jay Kim]

@nguyen95 Yes, that is one way to disable it, but it is not hookish way. I'll improve the code to disable just by setting unitId undefined.

[andkom]

@nguyen95 yeah, but it looks like a hack

Fixed in 1.2.0

@wjaykim bug is not fixed

<AppOpenAdProvider
      unitId={isPaid ? null : TestIds.APP_OPEN}
      options={{ showOnColdStart: true, showOnForeground: true }}
    >
      {/* ... */}
</AppOpenAdProvider>

if isPaid changes to true, ad still shows on app foreground

[Jay Kim]

@andkom oh, thank you for reporting. This issue had been fixed, but it has been occurring again since several updates. I'll fix this issue again.

[Jay Kim]

Fixed in 1.4.0

[andkom]

as for now showOnAppForeground behavior is not consistent, sometimes it works, sometimes not, but disabling AppOpenAd in runtime is still not working

[Jay Kim]

I've tested and it's working you have to reproduce your code so that I can help you.
