*Only supported on iOS **Only supported on Android

IMPORTANT

To allow a smooth toward MAUI, Version 1.9 contains few breaking changes, several fixes and am improved support for Banner. It's not complicated to update your code and it's worth it.
Android

You need to add your Admob APPLICATION_ID to your AppManifest:

<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.APPLICATION_ID" android:value="YOUR APPLICATION ID" />

If you Target android 12 and the app crashes with the following message: "Targeting S+ (version 31 and above) requires that one of FLAG_IMMUTABLE or FLAG_MUTABLE be specified when creating a PendingIntent."

You NEED TO update Xamarin.AndroidX.Work.Runtime to version 2.7.0! This will solve the issue

iOS

You need to add GADApplicationIdentifier to your Info.plist: Edit your info.plist adding these Keys:

<key>GADApplicationIdentifier</key>
<string>YOUR APPLICATION ID</string>
<key>GADIsAdManagerApp</key>
<true/>
  • If you don't do this, your iOS app will crash

To add a Banner on a page you have two options:

XAML
<controls:MTAdView x:Name="myAds"></controls:MTAdView>

remember to add this line in your XAML:

xmlns:controls="clr-namespace:MarcTron.Plugin.Controls;assembly=Plugin.MtAdmob"
CODE
MTAdView ads = new MTAdView();

Now you can add the control to your layout.

IMPORTANT

To test the banner during the development google uses two Banner Id, one for Android and the other for iOS. Use them then remember to replace them with your own IDs:

Android: ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/6300978111
iOS: ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/2934735716

If the Banners don't appear in your app, probably it's a size problem. To solve it, add this style to your app.xaml:

<Style TargetType="controls:MTAdView">
    <Setter Property="HeightRequest">
        <Setter.Value>
            <x:OnIdiom Phone="50" Tablet="90"></x:OnIdiom>
        </Setter.Value>
    </Setter>
</Style>

PROPERTIES

For each AdView if you want, you can set this property: AdsId: To add the id of your ads AdSize: To chose the size of your banners (from version 1.9) AutoSize: If true, the plugin will update the heightbanner height according to the ads loaded (from version 1.9)

For GDPR it's better to rely on a custom consent instead or using the non personalized ads as I cannot guarantee it works. So it's better if you create a custom consent

GLOBAL PROPERTIES

AdsId: To add the id of your ads

PersonalizedAds: You can set it to False if you want to use generic ads (for GDPR...) (It works only for Android Banners, for the others, you must ask for consent) For GDPR it's better to rely on a custom consent instead or using the non personalized ads as I cannot guarantee it works. So it's better if you create a custom consent

TestDevices: You can add here the ID of your test devices

UseRestrictedDataProcessing: For compliance with the CCPA

You can use Global Properties in this way: CrossMTAdmob.Current.UserPersonalizedAds = true;

INTERSTITIAL

You can show an interstitial with a single line of code:

CrossMTAdmob.Current.ShowInterstitial();

To Load an interstitial you can use this line:

CrossMTAdmob.Current.LoadInterstitial("xx-xxx-xxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxxx");

REWARDED VIDEO

You can show a Rewarded video with a single line of code:

CrossMTAdmob.Current.ShowRewarded();

To Load a Rewarded Video you can use this line:

CrossMTAdmob.Current.LoadRewarded("xx-xxx-xxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxxx");

REWARD INTERSTITIAL (From Version 1.9)

You can show a Rewarded video with a single line of code:

CrossMTAdmob.Current.ShowRewardInterstitial();

To Load a Rewarded Video you can use this line:

CrossMTAdmob.Current.LoadRewardInterstitial("xx-xxx-xxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxxx");

IMPORTANT

Remember to include the MTAdmob library with this code (usually it's added automatically):

using MarcTron.Plugin;

IMPORTANT FOR ANDROID:

Before loading ads, you need to call MobileAds.initialize() on OnCreate:

protected override void OnCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
        {
            TabLayoutResource = Resource.Layout.Tabbar;
            ToolbarResource = Resource.Layout.Toolbar;

            base.OnCreate(savedInstanceState);            
            MobileAds.Initialize(ApplicationContext);
            Xamarin.Forms.Forms.Init(this, savedInstanceState); 
            LoadApplication(new App());
        }

Remeber to add this to your AppManifest:


<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.APPLICATION_ID"
           android:value="ca-app-pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx~yyyyyyyyyy"/>

IMPORTANT FOR IOS:

In case the plugin doesn't install automatically the nuget package:

Xamarin.Google.iOS.MobileAds

you need to add it manually.

That's it. Cannot be easier than that 😃
