I actually modified the code. If the ad loads before the loading completes, it is shown, otherwise no. It’s just strage that “Open App Ads” have an example that’s not really an App Open one, but an App “back to foreground” one!

i have the same issue. Can you please share your code?

I’m facing the same issue, and I almost copypasted the example code…

I discovered, btw, that if you move your app in background and then move it forward again, the Ad is showing. I think the AppLifecycleReactor only reacts on change of the app state, so, since while opening the status remains the same, the method showAdIfAvailable is not triggered.

You need to load the ad before the app starts if it opens via a cold start: https://developers.google.com/admob/flutter/app-open#cold_starts_and_loading_screens
