There is my error codes;

Terminating app due to uncaught exception
'GADInvalidInitializationException', reason: 
'The Google Mobile Ads SDK was initialized incorrectly. 
Google AdMob publishers should follow instructions here: 

https://googlemobileadssdk.page.link/admob-ios-update-plist 
to include the AppMeasurement framework, 
set the -ObjC linker flag, and set 
GADApplicationIdentifier with a valid App ID. 

Google Ad Manager publishers should follow 
instructions here: 
https://googlemobileadssdk.page.link/ad-manager-ios-update-plist

Answer 1

For Ionic App with Admob plugin (I've tried just in Ioniv V3) you can add this in ./config.xml under platform ios to auto populate app-name-info.plist file at every build time.

<platform name="ios">
   <config-file parent="GADApplicationIdentifier" target="*-Info.plist">
      <string>ca-app-pub-12345/12345</string>
   </config-file>

   <config-file parent="GADIsAdManagerApp" target="*-Info.plist">
      <true />
   </config-file>

   ... (other lines) ...

</platform>

Run cordova prepare to regenerated the file (additionally delete ios platform and reinstall it using: ionic cordova platform rm ios , ionic cordova platform add ios).

Have had this problem for two days now. The problem seems that the xcode project's plist file is not getting the admob settings right. So had to add them manually like this:

Open the your-app-name-Info.plist file under "ionic-project-root/platforms/ios/your-app-name/" and add these lines:

<key>GADIsAdManagerApp</key>
<true/>
<key>GADApplicationIdentifier</key>
<string>ca-app-pub-XXXXXXX~YYYYYYY</string>

Being ca-app-pub-XXXXXXX~YYYYYYY your ios app ID in admob. Now the error should go away.

Answer 3

There is a new procedure, you need to add GADIsAdManagerApp key for info.plist file with boolean YES value
