AdMob on iOS 9

Hi,

Has anyone been working productively with admob on iOS9??

I’ve been trying to use their interstitial ads but get an error - something like “this app is not allowed to query for scheme kindle”. Might be an issue where the plug-in does not support Google fixes for iOS9 update regarding remote URLs.

Hey Rune7 I just came across this error (warning) too when I try to preload Admob interstitials. It seems to be related to LSApplicationQueriesSchemes where Admob needs to check to see if a particular app is installed or not so it is not showing ads for installed apps.

-canOpenURL: failed for URL: "kindle://home" - error: "This app is not allowed to query for scheme kindle"

After some digging is seems that the bug was fixed in version 7.5.0 of the Admob SDK (native). I am not sure what version the Corona plugin uses but I believe it may be previous to 7.5.0.

@simon.natt,

Thanks for finding the source of the issue. As far as I recall, AdMob plugin still uses an old SDK version so we need to ask Corona to update this plug-in as soon as possible.

We had to disable AdMob on iOS due to this issue.

@rune7 I should clarify that this is not stopping my Admob banner or interstitials from being displayed. But yes an updated Corona plugin is needed by the looks. I am also not impressed with the banner loading times but that is another story :stuck_out_tongue:
