I'm not having very good luck getting Admob Native Ads to work with SwiftUI. I tried to use the code found here. https://github.com/googleads/googleads-mobile-ios-examples/blob/master/Swift/admob/NativeAdvancedExample/NativeAdvancedExample/ViewController.swift This is the exact code i ended up with because much of the code from that link wouldn't work.
import GoogleMobileAds
import UIKit
class ViewController: UIViewController {
/// The view that holds the native ad.
@IBOutlet var nativeAdPlaceholder: UIView!
/// The height constraint applied to the ad view, where necessary.
var heightConstraint: NSLayoutConstraint?
/// The ad loader. You must keep a strong reference to the GADAdLoader during the ad loading
/// process.
var adLoader: GADAdLoader!
/// The native ad view that is being presented.
var nativeAdView: GADUnifiedNativeAdView!
/// The ad unit ID.
let adUnitID = "ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/3986624511"
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
guard
let nibObjects = Bundle.main.loadNibNamed("UnifiedNativeAdView", owner: nil, options: nil),
let adView = nibObjects.first as? GADUnifiedNativeAdView
else {
assert(false, "Could not load nib file for adView")
}
setAdView(adView)
refreshAd(nil)
}
func setAdView(_ adView: GADUnifiedNativeAdView) {
// Remove the previous ad view.
nativeAdView = adView
nativeAdPlaceholder = UIView()
nativeAdPlaceholder.addSubview(nativeAdView)
nativeAdView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
// Layout constraints for positioning the native ad view to stretch the entire width and height
// of the nativeAdPlaceholder.
let viewDictionary = ["_nativeAdView": nativeAdView!]
nativeAdPlaceholder.addConstraints(
NSLayoutConstraint.constraints(
withVisualFormat: "H:|[_nativeAdView]|",
options: NSLayoutConstraint.FormatOptions(rawValue: 0), metrics: nil, views: viewDictionary)
)
nativeAdPlaceholder.addConstraints(
NSLayoutConstraint.constraints(
withVisualFormat: "V:|[_nativeAdView]|",
options: NSLayoutConstraint.FormatOptions(rawValue: 0), metrics: nil, views: viewDictionary)
)
}
// MARK: - Actions
/// Refreshes the native ad.
@IBAction func refreshAd(_ sender: AnyObject!) {
adLoader = GADAdLoader(
adUnitID: adUnitID, rootViewController: self,
adTypes: [.unifiedNative], options: nil)
adLoader.delegate = self
adLoader.load(GADRequest())
}
}
extension ViewController: GADUnifiedNativeAdLoaderDelegate {
func adLoader(_ adLoader: GADAdLoader, didFailToReceiveAdWithError error: GADRequestError) {
print("fail")
}
func adLoader(_ adLoader: GADAdLoader, didReceive nativeAd: GADUnifiedNativeAd) {
// Set ourselves as the native ad delegate to be notified of native ad events.
nativeAd.delegate = self
// Deactivate the height constraint that was set when the previous video ad loaded.
heightConstraint?.isActive = false
// Populate the native ad view with the native ad assets.
// The headline and mediaContent are guaranteed to be present in every native ad.
(nativeAdView.headlineView as? UILabel)?.text = nativeAd.headline
nativeAdView.mediaView?.mediaContent = nativeAd.mediaContent
// This app uses a fixed width for the GADMediaView and changes its height to match the aspect
// ratio of the media it displays.
if let mediaView = nativeAdView.mediaView, nativeAd.mediaContent.aspectRatio > 0 {
heightConstraint = NSLayoutConstraint(
item: mediaView,
attribute: .height,
relatedBy: .equal,
toItem: mediaView,
attribute: .width,
multiplier: CGFloat(1 / nativeAd.mediaContent.aspectRatio),
constant: 0)
heightConstraint?.isActive = true
}
// These assets are not guaranteed to be present. Check that they are before
// showing or hiding them.
(nativeAdView.bodyView as? UILabel)?.text = nativeAd.body
nativeAdView.bodyView?.isHidden = nativeAd.body == nil
(nativeAdView.callToActionView as? UIButton)?.setTitle(nativeAd.callToAction, for: .normal)
nativeAdView.callToActionView?.isHidden = nativeAd.callToAction == nil
(nativeAdView.iconView as? UIImageView)?.image = nativeAd.icon?.image
nativeAdView.iconView?.isHidden = nativeAd.icon == nil
nativeAdView.starRatingView?.isHidden = true
(nativeAdView.storeView as? UILabel)?.text = nativeAd.store
nativeAdView.storeView?.isHidden = nativeAd.store == nil
(nativeAdView.priceView as? UILabel)?.text = nativeAd.price
nativeAdView.priceView?.isHidden = nativeAd.price == nil
(nativeAdView.advertiserView as? UILabel)?.text = nativeAd.advertiser
nativeAdView.advertiserView?.isHidden = nativeAd.advertiser == nil
// In order for the SDK to process touch events properly, user interaction should be disabled.
nativeAdView.callToActionView?.isUserInteractionEnabled = false
// Associate the native ad view with the native ad object. This is
// required to make the ad clickable.
// Note: this should always be done after populating the ad views.
nativeAdView.nativeAd = nativeAd
}
}
// MARK: - GADUnifiedNativeAdDelegate implementation
extension ViewController: GADUnifiedNativeAdDelegate {
func nativeAdDidRecordClick(_ nativeAd: GADUnifiedNativeAd) {
print("\(#function) called")
}
func nativeAdDidRecordImpression(_ nativeAd: GADUnifiedNativeAd) {
print("\(#function) called")
}
func nativeAdWillPresentScreen(_ nativeAd: GADUnifiedNativeAd) {
print("\(#function) called")
}
func nativeAdWillDismissScreen(_ nativeAd: GADUnifiedNativeAd) {
print("\(#function) called")
}
func nativeAdDidDismissScreen(_ nativeAd: GADUnifiedNativeAd) {
print("\(#function) called")
}
func nativeAdWillLeaveApplication(_ nativeAd: GADUnifiedNativeAd) {
print("\(#function) called")
}
}
And i made this struct.
import SwiftUI
import UIKit
struct NativeViewController: UIViewControllerRepresentable {
func makeUIViewController(context: Context) -> UIViewController {
let picker = ViewController()
return picker
}
func updateUIViewController(_ uiViewController: UIViewController, context: Context) {
}
}
But when i put taht NativeViewController in the body like so
var body: some View {
NativeViewController()
}
I get no errors but also no ad displayed.
Any direction would be much appreciated.
