not currently subscribed to plugin - admob

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

Hi, I have followed the instructions on http://docs.coronalabs.com/daily/plugin/ads-admob/ - have created my publisher id and got my unique key but on build I get the ‘not currently subscribed to plugin’ error.

I only have starter but the plugin does say its available via starter - am i doing anything wrong?

my build settings say:

    plugins =
    {
        [“CoronaProvider.ads.admob”] =
        {
            publisherId = ‘<mypublisherid>’
        }
    },

Thanks

Kevin

i MIGHT have answered my own question… the publisher ID… does this need to be “com.coronalabs”?? If so, how does this link to my publisher id in admob??

Thanks

Hey Kevin,

From reading the docs, it looks like you pass your pub id in the appID section

local ads = require “ads”
ads.init( “admob”, your publisher id here, adListener )

Hi Sid,

I am not so sure about using the publisher ID. I maybe completely wrong but I think after you add your app on admob,  they will give you a publisher ID. Not sure what to do with that ID. You then need to  choose the ad type you want to show (banner or fullscreen) only then they will give an AD ID that plug in like:

local ads = require “ads”
ads.init( “admob”, your AD ID  here, adListener )

I am not completly sure of this. I hope someone for Coronalabs or a pro here who already use admob banner can verify what I said. I do not want to give you wrong info. I myself found this “publisher ID” business confusing. Because if you just use that ID then how admob is suppose to choose which banner to show? Or can you just have ONE banner per app?

Cheers.
