Ads aren't displaying.

Development Programming & Scripting Blueprint

I have my admob setup correctly(I think). Ad index 1 is a banner. Yet no ads ever show. Also, admob is telling me there have been zero ad request.

Here is what I have in my project:

Figured it out. There were missing permissions required for adMob to work. These permissions are typically standard if you don’t use a custom manifest.

Definitely:



<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE" />

And maybe(but I don’t think so):



<uses-permission android:name="com.android.vending.BILLING" />
