- Monetizing your app can be a nice way to get something back for the effort and love that you've put into your Xamarin.Forms app. One way of doing it is by adding ads to your app. In this video I will show you how you can include Google AdMob ads in your Xamarin.Forms application without too much hassle.
We will learn about a plugin that you can use for this, how to show banners, interstitial ads and even reward video advertisements!

Looking forward for the MAUI version of this video! Thank you! (Because I can't find any samples so far)
Not even a single Video of it and already 1 year passed..
Great this gives me some ideas for projects I'm mulling over! Thanks!
I’m sure they’ll be a great succes!
Hey brother...This was a perfect 'getting started' tutorial. Thank you.
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
Extremely helpful, thank you!
Glad you think so! Thanks!
As always another great tutorial
thank you
Glad you liked it!
Thanks man, good content
Glad you liked it! Good comment! 😉
On fire 🔥
Don't set the money on fire! 🙀
It did everything like shown and my app wont load anymore :(
Hi Gerald, great tutorial/info.
Regarding the "App Id" you used in the video, it is test Id. so for real application all the test "App Id" need to be replaced with real one is it? if so, where should I look for the Id? is it from AdMob page or i need personally look for it somewhere?
Have a great day!!
I think I mention this in the video, right? Yeah, just get those IDs from your account and put them in the right properties. The IDs you should use are specific to you.
@@jfversluis got it man. Btw when I can't use the Android.Gms.Ads in the main activity. The intelisense unable to find it. But the NuGet package is installed properly. Not sure what I am missing😅😅😅.
Awesome Tutorial @Gerald Versluis. Just to ask, can you show how to integrate that in a MonoGame-Android-App? Its really hard to find something useful, like your videos. *thumbsUp*
I don't think I'll be able to do that easily because I'm not entirely sure what you mean... But I think that specifically is something I don't have much experience with. It sound more like something Android native? In that case what you could do is look at the source for this plugin, take the renderer on Android and implement that natively in your app :)
it's not working on the Android 12 or sdk 31 or more version. i have tried to solve it but it has not been successful. Please help..
I'm Facing this problem While Testing . And try to find solution for days !!
Error MT1303: Could not decompress the native framework 'FBLPromises.framework' from '/Users/macbook/Projects/Qilat/Qilat.iOS/obj/iPhoneSimulator/Debug/device-builds/iphone 13 pro max-15.0/mtouch-cache/FBLPromises.framework.zip'. Please review the build log for more information from the native 'unzip' command. (MT1303)
Hi Gerald. Thank you for your tutorial, it helped me a lot. I still have one question. What can we do to make sure the user keeps seeing ads if the smartphone or tablet is offline? I've noticed all apps are turned of when there is no internet connection. Of course this is logical but maybe there is a workaround so the user doesn't notice he won't get any ads when internet is off. Thank in advance!
There is an event for when the ads fail to load. Hook into that and hide the control at that point :)
In my application only test ads are working. Real ads are not appearing.
I have checked the the app id and ad ids are correct. Any solution?
Real ads are not appearing from 3 days.
I hope you fix that issue..!
Hello Gerald,
Thanks for showing.
One question that came up here is:
Is there a way to set the color on both sides of the banner if it does not cover the whole width of the screen?
Greetings
Good question! Can’t you set a backgroundcolor? 😅
@@jfversluis in a quick test the BackgroundColor only shows above and below if the height is larger than the bannerAd
Any way, thanks for your reply.
Really appreciate your work here
Thank you. Not all heroes wear capes..
Haha thank you! :D
@@jfversluis sir, I just want to clarify, does the ad show even if the app is still in development or not yet uploaded in the App Store?
I think it should yes
Hey, thanks for the tutorial! I've found that the ad initially showed and now every time I run the app, it's not showing. Any ideas as to why this would happen? I haven't changed any of the code so it just seems weird. Also, sometimes the deploy will fail but there's no errors shown
Edit:
I am running Android btw
I think it takes a while before it knows what ads to serve and it will also see that you're running it yourself. But its very hard to say without knowing the project, sorry
also the banner isnt showing if no height request is set.
I think I mentioned that in my video, did I forget? 🙀
I am learning Xamarin and found it quite interesting but there are no Xamarin jobs in the market so what is the future of Xamarin Developers?
I wish I had a crystal ball and knew the answer to that! Also, that question is very dependant on where you are in the world. Where I am there definitely are Xamarin jobs. Keep looking, I know they are out there and hopefully it will become more and more with .NET MAUI in the future!
Hi Gerald. I downloaded your sample code, and found an issue. When I run it, the header and the buttons show up, but the banner does not. If I click one of the buttons and the close the video or interstitial, the banner appears. Do you know what could be causing this?
Without a valid ID that links to your advertising account it won’t work :)
@@jfversluis The thing is, I didn't change anything. So it still had your app ID in it. And the test ads work, except that the banner ad won't appear until after either the interstitial or the video run. It's odd.
Hi, My Ads is not working anymore, it says that the Ad serving is limited on website, I added my personal device as Tester device, removed all the Banners Ids 3 times, What else can I do? Create another account for AdMob? AdMob don't answer my questions! Thanks
I'm no AdMob expert unfortunately, this is really something they should answer
so this does not work with maui i followed step by step and just errors after uninstalling from nuget then the maui project for android could build
There definitely is also a version available that works with .NET MAUI
@@jfversluis okay I'll check that one out
Hey - AWESOME VIDEO! I have a question...my real ads aren't working (I've had them >24hours). Is this because of debug mode/not on the app stores? Cant get them to load! Thanks!
Thanks! It can be a lot of things. Try to see in the AdMob portal what you can find in the logging etc. as well
@@jfversluis okay thanks… I love the fact you reply to your comments. Hands down the best TH-cam channel going!!!
@@loubarr1957 Thanks Lou! Trying my best to keep up with them :) We're in this together!
HI Gerard,
The ad banner does not show up on iphone simulator but does on android.
Check log out put or maybe something on the Adsense portal. It can be a million reasons, hard to say without any information
No se puede resolver el tipo de interfaz "Android.Gms.Ads.Reward.IRewardedVideoAdListener". ¿Le falta una referencia de ensamblaje?
retrogradale
Hi, Is possible to preload Interstitial Ad so after pressing button i dont gonna have delay.
Sure, it's described in the README: github.com/marcojak/MTAdmob#rewarded-video
@@jfversluis thank you sir
Hi @Gerald I'm getting this error Failed to load ad: 3 (on rewarded video show).
Check to see if you can find any more details
@@jfversluis i spent 3 days on it but no success just rewarded video issue even I'm working with test app id and unit id.
Hey Gerald, You had mentioned the other day to message you on Twitter but I cannot find your account.
WHAAAAT? Yeah my TH-cam is the only one that's different. Everywhere else you can find me with jfversluis
Did anyone had a problem where the retarded add could only be shown once, then you had to restart app to see it again. Anyone have a fix for this? The problem is only on IOS
Hey Herald...This is great...I am also a Xamarin developer...How much we can earn by monetizing our app ?
That’s hard to say :) it depends on multiple factors like who the target audience of you app is, how long their sessions are, how much ads you’re showing etc.
@@jfversluis Thanks....Dear Gerald....how to protect or encrypt sqlite database in xamarin forms....and how to use root checker in xamarin forms....can u plz help on these two things....Thanks
@@chandrasekharpatra6317 For the root detection you might be able to use this: github.com/nmilcoff/BreachDetector
The encryption of the database I don't have any experience with that at the moment, sorry!
Thanks :))
Hope it helped!
@@jfversluis I'll try it now and let you know
@@jfversluis Actually, it did not worked... when I download the nuget package it is showing an error...
Probably need to check the minimum requirements!
@@jfversluis yeah i think that i must update my visual studio
Does this work for MAUI as well?
There is a .NET MAUI version available
@@jfversluis I tried it but for the iOS it is a messed up chaos, especially the 260 maxlength character permission when building the iOS app for testing so I just quit the MAUI project and started it over in Xamarin
@@jfversluis I got it working after changing my directories to a shorter location, Jesus Christ I was going crazy why this wasn't working.
Well well well... and now you could make an update showing how to monetize a .NET MAUI app, right?
Well, well, well. I guess I could, but it would be 90% the same! That's the great thing about .NET MAUI
Since it's about the last 10% (because currently there is no NuGet package for Admob supporting MAUI yet), this would be a quicktip video then... :D Imagine people being able to monetize their MAUI apps right from when it goes GA...
Now I make you responsible for all the future spam I will get !!! ;-)
Hahaha sorry! 😬
Damn its not working for maui :D
Nope! Plugins need to be updated to work with .NET MAUI
@@jfversluis the developer is already working on it
@@davidblaine9795 perfect, thanks for letting me know!
If only app monitizations practices weren't so terribly toxic and abused.
With great power comes great responsibility....
the start is so cringe...
So cringe that it’s good?
@@jfversluis Lets hope so!
haha, it's actually really great. Thank you Gerald for the awesome videos!
anyone got filthy rich?
Yep 🤓
For anyone having the issue with "Targeting S+ requires that one of FLAG_IMMUTABLE or FLAG_MUTABLE..." (API 31 Android 12), install this NuGet Package: Xamarin.AndroidX.Work.Runtime 2.7.0
