I did this. Multiple times.
My code.
-- Your Android application ID local bannerAppID = "ca-app-pub-8347067101481503/2335507715" local interstitialAppID = "ca-app-pub-8347067101481503/5236550917" if system.getInfo("platformName") == "iPhone OS" then -- Your iOS application IDs intersititalAppID = "ca-app-pub-8347067101481503/3759817713" bannerAppID = "ca-app-pub-8347067101481503/4080572917" end I just ran and tested this code on my iPhone. You may have issues with your AdMob portal where you get your AppId’s from. Why are you submitting apps before you have this working?
Are you by any chance testing on a Rooted or Jailbroken device? Are you getting any errors in your device’s console log? I’ve asked for this several times and you have never answered this question. There will be reasons why it’s not working an it will be printed in your device log.

My account doesnt even say Im a basic member. -_-
I’ve tested it on my iPhone but that was with no ads. No its not jailbroken and I submit it cause my fan base were begging me too.
How can I make a test app and how to I view the device log???
You don’t need to be a Basic account to use AdMob ads. You need it to do In App Purchases. The forums don’t always catch up with your account setting.
How do you view your device log? Please read this tutorial: http://coronalabs.com/blog/2013/07/09/tutorial-basic-debugging/
How to make a test app? It’s not any different than any other app. You need a main.lua with that code in it. A build.settings that includes your plugin and a config.lua.

Wow I think he’s helped you plenty as it is. That kind of attitude no ones going to offer you any help.
@LsVtechTurbo95, the Corona community forums are here to help you on a best effort method. Corona Labs cannot write your program for you. If you wish to hire a Corona Developer you can request a quote in one of our sub-forums dedicated to hiring Corona Developers. See: http://forums.coronalabs.com/forum/586-corona-jobs/
There is an expectation that you will try to also help yourself. All advice that’s been given to you on this topic has been sound and has been given to you by multiple people. I don’t know why you and your programmer are having difficulties implementing this. You have to take some responsibility yourself. No one on this forum has access to your AdMob account (nor should they). By refusing to provide information from your console log (and having been shown twice to the tutorial that teaches you how), there isn’t much anyone on this forum can do for you.
I even provided you a 100% complete working AdMob sample main.lua. It’s job is to show a screen and show an ad. It’'s up to you to adapt this.
We have very specific forum rules and expected behavior from community members. Please make sure you read and understand these rules before you post to the forums: http://coronalabs.com/blog/2013/04/02/corona-forum-rules-and-guidelines/

Hey lessmsios, did you figure it out? I have the same problem. I read that when you do “ads.init” you can put whichever appID with no problem, just as long as you ask for the correct ads in the “ads.show” part. But it isn’t working for me.
Nope. The tutorial http://coronalabs.com/blog/2014/07/15/tutorial-implementing-admob-v2/ mentions using both but there is no working code example that proves it does. 
Ok - finally discovered the answer to my initial question/problem after returning to this app.
I was trying to put up an interstitial ad just before going back to a different scene which displayed a banner ad. In doing so the call to show the banner obviously kept the interstitial from displaying. This was checked by commenting out the banner ad.
User (my) error, but thanks for the feedback!

Found the problem,… {appId = “xxxx”} (small “d”), not {appID = “xxxx”} (capital “D”) 
Heres my code for showing different type of admob ads. It works for me, I don’t have them run in the same scene though, so like banner on the start menu for example and pop up occurs in the game after game over for example. But:
local AdMob = require("ads") local adMobId = "ca-app-pub-my#" local adMobIdInter = "ca-app-pub-diff#" local adMobListener = function(event) print("ADMOB AD - Event: " .. event.response) end AdMob.init( "admob", adMobId, adMobListener ) --Than where I need to show it: AdMob.show( "banner", {x=0, y=position}) AdMob.show( "interstitial", {appId=adMobIdInter} )Can someone please help me fix my code to were my banner ads show up

@LsVtechTurbo95, please do not ask your question more than once a day. This is called “Bumping” and we only permit bumping once per day. It takes time for the community to come on and read your post. You are also only allowed to post the same question in one forum thread.
We want you to get help, but if you keep posting this over and over, we will be forced to remove your excessive posts.
Thank you!
Here is the code I used for the the tutorial to test it.

Change your AppID’s as needed from your AdMob portal. And as long as you have the plugin in your build.settings it should work.
This was designed to be a stand alone test app. It’s based off of the AdMob sample app on the Corona SDK Github repository.

How do I can “Change your AppID’s as needed from your AdMob portal” ?
Still nothing. I dont know what going on. I’m starting to feel like I wasted money on my basic account when i cant even place ads on my app. Which means I willn’t make anything from it whats so ever and I already have 700+ users in 2 days since the app has been placed on android. I still in “waiting for review” for iOS. I submit the app there tuesday. I NEED HELP WITH THIS ASAP.
