Thanks ToeKnee for your reply. I am using version 2189 of corona but I have no idea how to see which version of AdMob I am using. In fact, I didn’t even know there were multiple versions.
How do you recommend I get around this problem? Surely there must be thousands of people with the same problem as me and Ads obviously play a large part in monetization.
I will bear that in mind next time I make a post, thankyou.

What are you putting in your build.settings?
Rob
-- Supported values for orientation: -- portrait, portraitUpsideDown, landscapeLeft, landscapeRight settings = { orientation = { default = "portrait", supported = { "portrait", } }, plugins = { ["CoronaProvider.ads.admob"] = { publisherId = "com.coronalabs" }, }, iphone = { plist = { UIStatusBarHidden = false, UIPrerenderedIcon = true, -- set to false for "shine" overlay --UIApplicationExitsOnSuspend = true, -- uncomment to quit app on suspend --[[-- iOS app URL schemes: CFBundleURLTypes = { { CFBundleURLSchemes = { "fbXXXXXXXXXXXXXX", -- example scheme for facebook "coronasdkapp", -- example second scheme } } } --]] } }, -- Android permissions android = { usesPermissions = { "android.permission.INTERNET", "android.permission.ACCESS\_NETWORK\_STATE", }, }, }You are using V1 of admob. Here are the docs for V2. You should move to V2 as Google will stop supporting V1 in August.

Again i stress this was only a possible suggestion to your problem, it could be unrelated.
Based on your build settings - I think you are using the old admob.
However that is from corona’s side - you are the only one who will know your setup with admob - my only suggestion is when you are on your admob site does it ask you to upgrade - if it does perhaps you are on legacy admob - i say perhaps because it’s an assumption on my part.
Rob may be better placed to answer the question of “new admob account but using old plugin {if possible - i assume not}”?
Second point you say 2189 - just to clarify when did you last download Corona and was it 2189a.
There are issues with public build 2189 so corona did a special quick fix public build and created 2189a - hopefully a normal public build is still on the way, and not delayed due to this special fix.

Rob,
But the doc’s say V2 won’t work with 2189 - or will it work with 2189a?
I’ll have to ask and see.

So where is this sample “admob” app - i just check the sample code and only see iAds/ Inmobi / & interactive.
If it’s not too long it might be an idea to post the code - esp the code concerning how the ads API works - check docs.
Obviously replace your ID’s with XXXXX’s of better “faridXXXX” just to let us know that you have replaced with something.
Just to cover all possibilities - you checked internet/wifi connection - i.e. you could see ads in another app but then switch to yours and none.
I’m far from an ad expert - but just some things to check.
Also my admob site has a screen wide banner at the top “On August 31, 2014, legacy AdMob will no longer be available. All legacy ad serving will stop soon.” with a blue box “upgrade to new admob” on the right.

AdMob V2 says it only works with 2264 or higher? My Corona build just says 2189, not 2189a. So either way I’m gonna need to upgrade my Corona build somehow?
Also, I’m assuming my AdMob account is updated because I pressed on the “Help” tab and it took me to a webpage with the address "https://support.google.com/admob/v2/"??
well if you are on the new admob account - afaik it requires you to use the V2 admob plugin - which as you know requires 2264 or higher - which as a basic user you don’t have access to. So you have limited choices, upgrade to Pro or wait.
If you decide to wait then my advice is to use the time to fine tune other aspects of your app to make it the best you can ( remember there are people out there who teach people to not “copy” but “model and improve”- which to the normal person they attract means copy - so improving your app and making it as perfect as you can will help combat cloners), or start that new project.
