How to load interstitial ads more than once?

[kirby10023]

Is there a way to load an interstitial ad more than once on IOS? I get an error reading "Request Error: Will not send request because interstitial object has been used" after I try to request an interstitial ad after the first time I use it. I read on the google documentation that interstitial are a one time use object and that you need to allocate a new interstitial object. However, I've seen multiple apps use adMob interstitials and are able to display an interstitial ad more than once. So does anyone know a way to workaround the limit of being able to only load one interstitial ad? 

Any help would be greatly appreciated! 

Thank you!

Hello,

This error means that you'll need to do self.interstitial = [[GADInterstitial alloc] init]; every time before you do [self.interstitial loadRequest:request]. A good practice would be to create a helper method for initializing the interstitial like this:

- (void)createAndLoadInterstitial {
  self.interstitial = [[GADInterstitial alloc] init];
  self.interstitial.adUnitID = @"replace_with_your_ad_unit_id";
  GADRequest *request = [GADRequest request];
  // Request test ads on devices you specify. Your test device ID is printed to the console when
  // an ad request is made.
  request.testDevices = @[ GAD_SIMULATOR_ID, @"MY_TEST_DEVICE_ID" ];
  [self.interstitial loadRequest:request];
}

Every time you want to load a new interstitial, simply call your helper method.

Cheers,
Eric
