A React Native library for integrating Google AdMob banners, interstitials, and rewarded video ads.
react-native-admob is a React Native library that enables developers to integrate Google AdMob advertising into their iOS and Android applications. It provides components for banner ads and imperative APIs for interstitial and rewarded video ads, solving the need for a cross-platform solution to monetize React Native apps with Google's advertising platform.
React Native developers building iOS and Android applications who want to implement advertising monetization through Google AdMob.
Developers choose react-native-admob because it offers a unified, React-friendly API for multiple ad formats across both platforms, abstracting the differences between iOS and Android AdMob SDKs while providing full access to AdMob features.

Provides a unified interface for iOS and Android AdMob SDKs, with consistent event names and methods that abstract platform differences, as shown in the event tables for interstitials and rewarded ads.
Includes declarative components for banners (AdMobBanner and PublisherBanner) and imperative APIs for interstitials and rewarded videos, covering key AdMob ad types with React-friendly patterns.
Offers simulator IDs (e.g., AdMobBanner.simulatorId) and test device configuration for safe ad implementation during development, reducing the risk of serving live ads accidentally.
Uses React components for banners for easy integration into UIs, while providing promise-based imperative methods for full-screen ads, aligning with different use cases and developer preferences.
Version 2 is currently in beta, as noted in the README, which may introduce breaking changes, bugs, or incomplete features, making it risky for production applications without thorough testing.
Lacks support for ad targeting, as acknowledged in the TODO section (#166), limiting customization options for ad delivery and potentially affecting monetization efficiency.
Requires separate, platform-specific steps for iOS (adding Google Mobile Ads SDK to Xcode) and Android (updating AndroidManifest.xml), increasing setup complexity and potential for errors.
Some events, like adFailedToOpen for interstitials, are not supported on Android, as shown in the event table, leading to platform-specific workarounds that undermine the unified API promise.
