Ads Inspector not opening on iOS

[khambley]

I've set up my test device in Admob and tried the two gestures, shake and flick twice, and the ads inspector is not opening on my iPhone and the banner ad is not showing up in my app anymore. It was showing up when I used the Admob test ad unit id. I triple checked my app id and ad unit id and it's correct. Why is this not working on iOS?? It works fine on Android.

Any news on this issue? Does it have something to do with a license key? I see that you added that to the sample app.

Hi Katherine,
In the console app you should be able to see why you don't see the banner ad...or you can use the even AdsFailedToLoad to see what the problem is. If you can see the banner with the test ID and not with your ID, usually there is no issue with the library and the app but just there are no ads to show (usually you get an error code 3, a lack of ad inventory).
From version 1.1.0, for consent reasons, you need to manually load the Banner ad.

I've always had issues showing the Ad inspector. The gestures don't work and most of the time even manually loading it doesn't work. I haven't investigated it further but I might have a look and see if I can do something in a next version.
And no, it has nothing to do with the license. For now, the license just unlocks the Consent that is mandatory from the 16th of January (if you don't use this one, you need to implement your own code using one of the approved CMP), everything else is the same.

Hope it helps, otherwise, let me know.
