Installation

  • Add this to your package's pubspec.yaml file:
dependencies:
  admob_flutter: "<LATEST_VERSION>"

  • Install it - You can install packages from the command line:
flutter pub get

Android Specific Setup

Update your AndroidManifest.xml

Add your AdMob App ID to your app's AndroidManifest.xml file by adding the <meta-data> tag shown below. You can find your App ID in the AdMob UI. For android:value insert your own AdMob App ID in quotes, as shown below.

You can use these test App ID's from Admob for development:

Android: ca-app-pub-3940256099942544~3347511713
iOS: ca-app-pub-3940256099942544~1458002511
<manifest>
  <application>
    <meta-data
      android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.APPLICATION_ID"
      android:value="ca-app-pub-3940256099942544~3347511713"/>
  </application>
</manifest>

iOS Specific Setup

Update your Info.plist per Firebase instructions.

<key>GADApplicationIdentifier</key>
<string>ca-app-pub-3940256099942544~1458002511</string>

and add

<key>io.flutter.embedded_views_preview</key>
<true/>

Starting from Beta 6, you also need to display the App Tracking Transparency authorization request for accessing the IDFA, so you have to update your Info.plist to add the NSUserTrackingUsageDescription key with a custom message describing your usage. Below is an example description text:

<key>NSUserTrackingUsageDescription</key>
<string>This identifier will be used to deliver personalized ads to you.</string>

See Prepare for iOS 14+ for more information. You also need to update your ios/Podfile by adding platform :ios, '9.0' at the very top of your file.

Initialize the plugin

First thing to do before attempting to show any ads is to initialize the plugin. You can do this in the earliest starting point of your app, your main function:

import 'package:admob_flutter/admob_flutter.dart';

void main() {
  WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();
  // Initialize without device test ids.
  Admob.initialize();
  // Or add a list of test ids.
  // Admob.initialize(testDeviceIds: ['YOUR DEVICE ID']);
}

If you're using iOS, you may also need to request the tracking authorization in order to display personalized ads:

// Run this before displaying any ad.
await Admob.requestTrackingAuthorization();

FAQ

  • Why doesn't the Admob Banner class have a dispose method?
    • TL;DR - It's called automatically for you. Longer reason see 94
  • failed to load ad : 3
    • TL;DR - Things are working correctly, Admob didn't give you an ad. If the app id + ad unit is new, give it 24/48 hours. See:161 stackoverflow
    • See all Admob codes
  • Ads are not loading
    • TL;DR - Make sure you have the correct combination of id's per platform. See:161
  • Objective-C based project cannot build
    • TL;DR - You have to enable swift support for your flutter project. See: stackoverflow and 123
  • How do I manage consentement for users in the European Economic Area?
    • Pass nonPersonalizedAds: true to the classes constructor (AdmobBanner, AdmobInterstitial and AdmobReward) in order to not display personalized ads for users who don't give their consent. A way to ask users for their consent is to use the plugin admob_consent. Please note that the new recommended is to use the brand new UMP SDK (Android, iOS).
