Banner ad through admob crashing app

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

I am trying to use a banner ad in my app and for some reason anytime I go to the scene where the ad is it displays a black screen.

heres my code for the ad

-- include ads library local ads = require("ads") local function adListener( event ) local msg = event.response if event.isError then -- Failed to receive an ad, we print the error message returned from the library. print(msg) end end ads.init("admob","ca-app-pub-9490367465204232/7991947832",adListener) ads.show( "banner", { x=0, y=0 } )

Have you looked in your console log for error messages?  If you don’t know how to do that, please read this tutorial:

Don’t quote me here but doesn’t the ads.init & your publisher code look strangely loonggggg. Mine are only about 15 or 16 characters long.

Yeah, that’s an Ad Unit ID, which I don’t think will work.

Try using:
ads.init(“admob”,“ca-app-pub-9490367465204232”,adListener)

yeh I’m getting the following error and I’m not sure how to fix it

\<Warning\>: Runtime error ERROR: Could not load provider (admob) due to the following reason: module 'CoronaProvider.ads.admob' not found:resource (CoronaProvider.ads.admob.lu) does not exist in archive

check your plugin code- maybe your not including it .
