How To Integrate Admob Rewarded Ad Swift
Before integrating Admob rewarded ads into your app, create an Admob account and download the SDK using Cocoapods.
pod 'Google-Mobile-Ads-SDK' # Mobile ads google
Testing Ads
It’s always advised you use a test Ad unit when testing your apps. Testing your app using live ads could lead to your account being terminated or suspended. Admob’s available to test ads:
Format | Size | Ad unit ID |
---|---|---|
Banner | 320×50 | 0ac59b0996d947309c33f59d6676399f |
Banner (MRect) | 300×250 | 2aae44d2ab91424d9850870af33e5af7 |
Interstitial | 320×480 | 4f117153f5c24fa6a3a92b818a5eb630 |
Rewarded Ad | 320×480 | 8f000bd5e00246de9c789eed39ff6096 |
Rewarded Playable (MRAID) | 320×480 | 98c29e015e7346bd9c380b1467b33850 |
Native | N/A | 76a3fefaced247959582d2d2df6f4757 |
Load Ads
The first step in integrating your Ad is by initialising it in your App Delegate. To initialise your Ads, import Admob and configure your ads.
import GoogleMobileAds // Mobile advertising
@UIApplicationMain
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
// Google services
FirebaseApp.configure()
Messaging.messaging().delegate = self
GADMobileAds.sharedInstance().start(completionHandler: nil)
}
}
In your UIViewController, import the GoogleMobileAds and set your variables such as your google ad unit and your GADRewardAd.
import UIKit
import GoogleMobileAds // Google Ads
class SettingsViewController: UIViewController {
// Your ad unit
let rewardAdUnit = "YOUR_AD_UNIT"
// Ad unit
var rewardedAd: GADRewardedAd?
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
}
}
Create a function to be called when users perform certain actions such as when a user clicks a button, closes a view or something similar. The function can be seen below.
@objc func loadRewardedAd(){
GADRewardedAd.load(
withAdUnitID: self.rewardAdUnit, request: GADRequest()
) { (ad, error) in
if let error = error {
print("Rewarded ad failed to load with error: \(error.localizedDescription)")
return
}
print("Loading Succeeded")
self.rewardedAd = ad
self.rewardedAd?.fullScreenContentDelegate = self
if self.rewardedAd != nil {
self.rewardedAd?.present(fromRootViewController: self, userDidEarnRewardHandler: {
})
} else {
// Some other error encountered
}
}
}
Reward User
Place your function or script to reward users in the last function.
extension ViewController: GADFullScreenContentDelegate {
func adDidPresentFullScreenContent(_ ad: GADFullScreenPresentingAd) {
print("Rewarded ad presented.")
}
func adDidDismissFullScreenContent(_ ad: GADFullScreenPresentingAd) {
print("Rewarded ad dismissed.")
// Reward user here
}
}
Going Live
That’s it, you’ve added Admob rewarded ads to your app. Once you are ready to go live, change your app unit to the one you’ve created on Admob.
