Troubleshooting Common Issues

Here are some common issues you might face while integrating Admob and their solutions:

• Failed to Load Ad Error: If you see a ‘failed to load ad: 3’ message, it often means that Admob is not able to serve your ad. Try giving it 24-48 hours for new ad units to get active.
• Ads Are Not Loading: Ensure that you have the correct configurations, including App IDs and Ad Unit IDs.
• Objective-C Build Error: You may need to enable Swift support for your Flutter project.
• User Consent Management: To manage consent for users in the European Economic Area, use the non-personalized ads feature.
