I was using another package for several months, that has now been deprecated. I am using my ads the same way i always have been.

class AdmobService implements IAds {
  final request = AdRequest(keywords: ['gaming']);

  late BannerAd bannerAd = BannerAd(
    size: AdSize.banner,
    adUnitId: getBannerAdID(),
    listener: BannerAdListener(),
    request: request,
  );

  InterstitialAd? interstitialAd;

  String getBannerAdID() {
    if (kDebugMode) {
      return Platform.isAndroid ? testBannerAndroid : testBannerIOS;
    }
    return Platform.isAndroid ? bannerAdAndroid : bannerAdIOS;
  }

  String getIntersitialAdID() {
    if (kDebugMode) {
      return Platform.isAndroid ? testInterstitialAndroid : testInterstitialIOS;
    }
    return Platform.isAndroid ? interstitialAdAndroid : interstitialAdIOS;
  }

  @override
  disposeBanner() {
    bannerAd.dispose();
  }

  @override
  init() async {
    bannerAd.load();
    await loadInterstitial();
  }

  @override
  Widget getBanner() {
    return Container(
      height: 50,
      color: StyleColors.canvasColor,
      child: AdWidget(ad: bannerAd),
    );
  }

  @override
  showInterstitial() async {
    if (interstitialAd == null) {
      await loadInterstitial();
      interstitialAd!.show();
    } else {
      interstitialAd!.show();
    }
  }

  loadInterstitial() async {
    await InterstitialAd.load(
      adUnitId: getIntersitialAdID(),
      request: request,
      adLoadCallback: InterstitialAdLoadCallback(
        onAdLoaded: (InterstitialAd ad) {
          // Keep a reference to the ad so you can show it later.
          this.interstitialAd = ad;
          interstitialAd!.fullScreenContentCallback = FullScreenContentCallback(
            onAdShowedFullScreenContent: (InterstitialAd ad) =>
                print('%ad onAdShowedFullScreenContent.'),
            onAdDismissedFullScreenContent: (InterstitialAd ad) {
              print('$ad onAdDismissedFullScreenContent.');
              ad.dispose();
              interstitialAd = null;
            },
            onAdFailedToShowFullScreenContent:
                (InterstitialAd ad, AdError error) {
              print('$ad onAdFailedToShowFullScreenContent: $error');
              ad.dispose();
            },
            onAdImpression: (InterstitialAd ad) =>
                print('$ad impression occurred.'),
          );
        },
        onAdFailedToLoad: (LoadAdError error) {
          print('InterstitialAd failed to load: $error');
        },
      ),
    );
  }
}

 if (controller.initialized)
                  Obx(() => (!controller.hasBoughtRemoveAds.value)
                      ? controller.adsService!.getBanner()
                      : Container()),

i dont think its the package issue because many of my apps have this package and non of them get rejected by apple or google

[laitooo]

Hey, I already did that. I don’t really get what’s the problem yet. That’s why i asked for a screenshot or a video capture at least if possible.

I use applifecycle to dispose the ad when it’s in background and also i don’t load or show any ad if the app is not in foreground.

ok, @laitooo https://github.com/laitooo so perhaps we need to attach some logic to listen to the flutter lifecycle state and somehow dispose the ads if app is in background?
