Getting Started

Android

• AndroidManifest changes

AdMob 17 requires the App ID to be included in the AndroidManifest.xml. Failure to do so will result in a crash on launch of your app. The line should look like:

<meta-data
    android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.APPLICATION_ID"
    android:value="[ADMOB_APP_ID]"/>

where [ADMOB_APP_ID] is your App ID. You must pass the same value when you initialize the plugin in your Dart code.

iOS

• Info.plist changes

Admob 7.42.0 requires the App ID to be included in Info.plist. Failure to do so will result in a crash on launch of your app. The lines should look like:

<key>GADApplicationIdentifier</key>
<string>[ADMOB_APP_ID]</string>

where [ADMOB_APP_ID] is your App ID. You must pass the same value when you initialize the plugin in your Dart code.

And PlatformView

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

Layout

This plugin supported custom layout. You need to create a layout file.

Android

You can use anything if the parent is a ViewGroup. The example uses ConstraintLayout.

Use com.google.android.gms.ads.formats.UnifiedNativeAdView for the parent.

Use com.google.android.gms.ads.formats.MediaView for MediaView.
