SDK tried to perform a networking task before being initialized

[Jakob Højgård]

Hi

I followed the guide and is running: GADMobileAds.sharedInstance().start()

From Appdelegate.

Then in my viewController im setting in a bannerView:
 let adSize = GADCurrentOrientationInlineAdaptiveBannerAdSizeWithWidth(self.view.frame.width)

        let bannerView = GADBannerView(adSize: adSize)

        bannerView.adUnitID = "ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/2934735716"

        bannerView.rootViewController = rootViewController

        let request = GADRequest()

        bannerView.load(request)

        bannerView.delegate = self

        return bannerView

But I get this in the didFailToReceiveAdWithError delegate function:
bannerView:didFailToReceiveAdWithError: SDK tried to perform a networking task before being initialized.

If I observe the status after the Start() I see that Adapter Name: GADMobileAds, Description: <GADAdapterStatus: 0x6000033cdf50; state = Ready>

And Im trying to run on the test account. 

Im using the latest SDK via Cocoapods. 

I hope you have some suggestions as to what to try to get the test ads up and running?

Hi Jakob,

Thank you for raising this to us.

Could you kindly try to add use_frameworks! :linkage => :static on your pod file, then let me know if the error still persists?

Hi

I tried the suggested modification to the Pod file,  but it makes no difference. I have these observations maby thats can give you some hints?

I get this message in the consol when launching the app:

AdMob App ID changed. Original, new: (nil), ca-app-pub-3940256099942544~.....

I have printet out the adapterStatusesByClassName when running GADMobileAds.sharedInstance().start:

["SampleCustomEventRewarded": <GADAdapterStatus: 0x6000011e4c30; state = Not Ready;No such adapter in the application.>,

When requseting a test banner:

        bannerView = GAMBannerView(adSize: GADAdSizeMediumRectangle)

        bannerView.adUnitID = forAdId

        bannerView.delegate = self

        bannerView.rootViewController = rootViewController

        let req = GAMRequest()

        bannerView.load(req) 

I get this error no matter what ApplicationIdentifier and test unitId I try :

Received error with domain: com.google.admob, code: 2,message: SDK tried to perform a networking task before being initialized., responseInfo:   ** Response Info **
    Response ID: (null)

I found the cause. It was in the pod file. While our project as multiple targets the root set of pods where just copied into all targets, leading to a case where the GoogleMobileAds SDK where embedded multiple times. leading to a situation where the SDK would be initialized in one taget but not the other...

So the solution was to only embed the Google Ads SDK in one target, in our case the main or root target.
