App using admob was just rejected by Apple

Solar2D Monetization (in-app purchases, ads, etc.)

From Apple:

3.1 - Apps or metadata that mentions the name of any other mobile platform will be rejected
3.1 Details

We noticed that your app or its metadata contains irrelevant platform information in the advertisements. Providing future platform compatibility plans, or other platform references, is not appropriate for the App Store. Please see the attached screenshots for more information.

Next Steps

Please remove any instances of this information from your app and its marketing materials, including the Application Description, What’s New info, Previews and screenshots.

Since your iTunes Connect Application State is Rejected, a new binary will be required. Make the desired metadata changes when you upload the new binary.

They included an image of the ad - one for Android Wear. If one uses admob isn’t it expected that ads from different manufacturers will be displayed?

Anyone else have this issue?

When you setup your app in AdMob did you define a separate app for iOS from Android?  You will end up with two different Publisher ID’s.  You need to make sure to use the iOS Publisher ID.

Yes. When I test the app I get ads for apps on the iTunes store. By default the ID is set for the iOS and changes only with:

if ( system.getInfo( “platformName” ) == “Android” )

A similar app that uses the exact same code (except for the publisher IDs was just now made available to the iTunes store. I submitted an appeal to the App Review Board.

Use an if and then statement like you have you need to do
apid= “iosappid”
if ( system.getInfo( “platformName” ) == “Android” ) then
Apid = “androidapid”
End
