cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-admob-free --save

Since the version 17 of play-services-ads and the 0.21.0 version of the plugin the ADMOB_APP_ID must be added to the AndroidManifest.xml. To install the plugin without errors and to insert the ADMOB_APP_ID to the manifest file automatically use the following code:

cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-admob-free --save --variable ADMOB_APP_ID="<YOUR_ANDROID_ADMOB_APP_ID_AS_FOUND_IN_ADMOB>"

Since version 7.42 of the Google AdMob Mobile Ads SDK for iOS, you must add the ADMOB_APP_ID to yourInfo.plist, which you can do by adding the folowing inside the<platform name="ios"> section in yourconfig.xml file:

<config-filetarget="*-Info.plist"parent="GADApplicationIdentifier">    <string>YOUR_IOS_ADMOB_APP_ID_AS_FOUND_IN_ADMOB</string></config-file>

Note thatcordova plugin add [GIT_URL] is not supported.

Go to theAdMob portal and add your app (if you haven't done so already), once your app is added to your AdMob account, create a new ad unit for it.

If you find this plugin useful, pleasestar it on Github.

While the Ionic community have providedan Ionic Native Plugin, plugin users need more examples and tutorials.

As I (@ratson) don't use Ionic myself, it would be great if some experienced Ionic developers could help answering questions or come up with more examples. HELP WANTED HERE.

Thanks for thecordova-plugin-admob-simple author for forking the original projectcordova-plugin-admob tomake it functional and open source it.

This is NOT an official Google product. It is just a community-driven project, which use the Google AdMob SDKs.
