AndroidManifest.xml: looks ok

Steps to Reproduce

Checkout your very own example ionic project (https://github.com/admob-plus/admob-plus/tree/master/examples/ionic-angular)
Add Android platform: ionic cordova platform add android.
Run app on real android device: ionic cordova run android --device
Tap admob.banner.show() and verify that the banner is shown.
Important: Close the app via the hardware back button of the device!
Restart the sample app (don’t do a new install via ionic cordova command! just open the installed version via the app icon of the sample app).
Tap admob.banner.show(). Nothing will happen. Banner will not show up anymore!

Expected Behavior

The banner should be shown again, regardless how I close the app before.

Actual Behavior

See “Steps to Reproduce”.

Reproducible Demo

No single modification needed, you have everything you need. You just need a physical android device (didn’t test on simulator).

Can confirm this. Encountered it a few weeks ago and it is 100% consistent. Only happens if app is closed via back button or when you use platform.exitApp() via Ionic. In this soft closed state the banners won’t appear again if you boot the app again, no error is triggered at any point. I think the iFrame is just not correctly shown, but the logic works.

If you close the app completely it will work again. This never happens on iOS as it doesn’t have this soft closed state.

Probably an issue with plugin initialization during a soft boot vs. cold boot?
