The original plugin hasn't been touched by the authors since 2016, but they still try to get a "2% donation" from all revenues of all apps that install it. This "donation scheme" is only mentioned very last in the original README file; a dark pattern hiding a quite questionable practice.
Apart from getting rid of this, this forks aims at modernizing the plugin installation and add support to AdMob Mediation.
Main changes:
- Use cocoapod for installing dependencies
- Disable the "donation scheme"
- Remove dependencies over deprecated plugins
Note: I don't say the original authors don't deserve donations. I myself am the author of several cordova plugin and I'm glad when I receive back some donations for support of my work. I just say that asking for 2% all ad revenue is obviously a lot. The right thing is to be upfront about it and make it easy to disable (at least provide some instructions).
IMPORTANT: the Android code hasn't been cleaned up yet! I'm focusing on iOS for now.
Monetize your Cordova/Phonegap/XDK HTML5 hybrid apps and games with AdMob ads, using latest Google AdMob SDK.
- Now available with Ionic Native too
- Supports banner, interstitials and rewarded
With this Cordova/Phonegap/XDK plugin you can show AdMob ads as easy as:
admob.createBannerView({publisherId: "ca-app-pub-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/BBBBBBBBBB"});
To update the plugin you should remove the plugin and add it again:
$ cordova plugin rm cordova-open-admob
$ npm cache clear
$ cordova plugin add cordova-open-admob
- iOS, using AdMob SDK for iOS.
You can setup additional AdMob mediation adapters:
Add this to your config.xml
:
<pod name="GoogleMobileAdsMediationFacebook" />
Follow the instructions here: https://developers.google.com/admob/ios/mediation/facebook
Add this to your config.xml
:
<pod name="GoogleMobileAdsMediationMoPub" />
Add this to your call to setOptions
:
admob.setOptions({
...
mopubAdUnitId: 'some-ad-unit',
...
});
Follow the instructions here: https://developers.google.com/admob/ios/mediation/mopub
To install this plugin, follow the Command-line Interface Guide. You can use one of the following command lines:
cordova plugin add cordova-open-admob
cordova plugin add https://github.com/j3k0/admob-google-cordova.git
To use in Phonegap Build, place the following tag in your config.xml
file:
<gap:plugin name="cordova-open-admob" source="npm"/>
To start showing ads, place the following code in your onDeviceReady
callback. Replace corresponding id's with yours:
Note: ensure you have a proper AdMob account and get your publisher id's.
function onDeviceReady() {
document.removeEventListener('deviceready', onDeviceReady, false);
// Set AdMobAds options:
admob.setOptions({
publisherId: "ca-app-pub-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/BBBBBBBBBB", // Required
interstitialAdId: "ca-app-pub-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/IIIIIIIIII", // Optional
autoShowBanner: true, // Optional
autoShowRInterstitial: false, // Optional
autoShowRewarded: false, // Optional
});
// Start showing banners (atomatic when autoShowBanner is set to true)
admob.createBannerView();
// Request interstitial ad (will present automatically when autoShowInterstitial is set to true)
admob.requestInterstitialAd();
// Request rewarded ad (will present automatically when autoShowRewarded is set to true)
admob.requestRewardedAd();
}
document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);

Note that the admob ads are configured inside onDeviceReady()
. This is because only after device ready the AdMob Cordova plugin will be working.
