What am I missing? Where did you see my code

Hi @anasbouziane

That post is SPAM

Hi @anasbouziane,

In your project, I do not see that react-native-google-mobile-ads library is set up correctly. As per their documentation here the react-native-google-mobile-ads object has to go outside the expo in app.json file. For example:

{
  "expo": {
    // ...
  },
  "react-native-google-mobile-ads": {
    "android_app_id": "ca-app-pub-xxxxxxxx~xxxxxxxx",
    "ios_app_id": "ca-app-pub-xxxxxxxx~xxxxxxxx"
  }
}

Other issues in your project configuration are:

  • There is expo-ads-admob installed and specified under package.json > "dependencies". I’d suggest remove this since this package has been deprecated and removed from SDK 46 and above. Your project is using SDK 47.
  • Also, your project has another issue such as using React Native version 0.70.6 installed. SDK 47 is compatible with 0.70.5. This can be checked and resolved by running expo-cli doctor command locally. Fixing these dependencies issues, following instructions for setting up react-native-google-mobile-ads library, and then re-running the build should fix these issues.

Yes I see
Thanks wodin

@amanhimself
“expo”: {
// …
},
“react-native-google-mobile-ads”: {
“android_app_id”: “ca-app-pub-xxxxxxxx~xxxxxxxx”,
“ios_app_id”: “ca-app-pub-xxxxxxxx~xxxxxxxx”
},
This is my code, I don’t see any difference


I removed the package you mentioned ‘expo-ads-admob’.


And when I try running the ‘expo-cli doctor command’ it gives an error
(The expected package.json path: C:.…\command\package.json does not exist)

Is this path in any way related to your project?

(Maybe a stupid question :slight_smile: but did you run it inside your project directory?)

No , but I added the command word the the command lol,


It worked well this time ‘expo-cli doctor’ and it suggested this :

expo doctor --fix-dependencies

That’s quite confusing :slight_smile:

Of course in general you should use npx expo ... instead of expo-cli ..., but for upgrade or doctor you should indeed use expo-cli

The complaint about invalid fields in app.json is probably just because the Expo tools aren’t expecting non-expo stuff in app.json. Not sure if it’s normal with react-native-google-mobile-ads

Thanks a lot for your time Michael.

When I am looking at your latest build, I see the "react-native-google-mobile-ads" part of "expo" block configuration in app.json. As per their docs, this "react-native-google-mobile-ads" block needs to be outside of the block "expo".

Here is an example configuration of how app.json will look like:

{
  "expo": {   //--> expo blocks start here
    "name": "rnadmob-test",
    "slug": "rnadmob-test",
    "version": "1.0.0",
    "orientation": "portrait",
    "icon": "./assets/icon.png",
    "userInterfaceStyle": "light",
    "splash": {
      "image": "./assets/splash.png",
      "resizeMode": "contain",
      "backgroundColor": "#ffffff"
    },
    "updates": {
      "fallbackToCacheTimeout": 0
    },
    "assetBundlePatterns": ["**/*"],
    "ios": {
      "supportsTablet": true
    },
    "android": {
      "adaptiveIcon": {
        "foregroundImage": "./assets/adaptive-icon.png",
        "backgroundColor": "#FFFFFF"
      },
      "package": "com.amanhimself.admobstest"
    },
    "web": {
      "favicon": "./assets/favicon.png"
    },
    "extra": {
      "eas": {
        "projectId": "910c5ec6-6bdf-4476-9b2e-a216c4f14248"
      }
    }
  },   //--> expo blocks ends here
// then the mobile ads library config is added =======================
  "react-native-google-mobile-ads": {
    "android_app_id": "ca-app-pub-1671297437112106~3920968130",
    "ios_app_id": "ca-app-pub-1671297437112106~3920968130"
  }
}

Could also be this is why you are getting the invalid app.json error as you shared:

Invariant Violation: Your JavaScript code tried to access a native module that doesn’t exist.

A frequent cause of the error is that the application entry file path is incorrect. This can also happen when the JS bundle is corrupt or there is an early initialization error when loading React Native.

There is always errors I don’t know why , I did all the things you mentioned

Are you getting the error when you are running the build on the device/emulator? Also, which command you are using to start the development server in the development build?

Just to be clear, you will not be able to run this in Expo Go. You will need to run it in a development build (a.k.a. dev client) which is basically like a custom version of Expo Go that has your dependencies compiled in.

  1. I have created another project and installed the react-native-google mobile-ads and added the block in App.json as you mentioned.

  2. The command I am using to start is 'npx expo start --tunnel' and then I scan the code from the Expo mobile app from my ‘iPhone 7’ , but suddenly nothing appears except that default splash screen.

  3. Also successfully intalled expo-dev-client .

  4. when I run 'npm install -g eas-cli' it gives this :

changed 351 packages, and audited 352 packages in 10s*
35 packages are looking for funding*

Some issues need review, and may require choosing*
a different dependency.

  1. I successfully logged in using eas login.

  2. I successfully exucuted also eas build:configure :

And my code is as simple as that :

import { StatusBar } from 'expo-status-bar';
import { StyleSheet, Text, View } from 'react-native';
import {
  // AppOpenAd,
  // InterstitialAd,
  // RewardedAd,
  BannerAd,
  TestIds,
  BannerAdSize,
} from "react-native-google-mobile-ads";

export default function App() {
  return (
    <SafeAreaView style={styles.container}>
      <View>
        <Text>Open up App.js to start working on your app!</Text>
        <StatusBar style="auto" />
      </View>
      <BannerAd
        unitId={TestIds.BANNER}
        size={BannerAdSize.LARGE_BANNER}
        requestOptions={{
          requestNonPersonalizedAdsOnly:true
        }}
      />
    </SafeAreaView>
  );
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    flex: 1,
    backgroundColor: '#fff',
    alignItems: 'center',
    justifyContent: 'center',
  },
});

After running npx expo start --tunnel ,this is the error message :

The Expo Go mobile app? Or the development build?

You should create a new development build after installing this.

Yes, that’s unfortunate, but misleading.
