AMDev.IT AdMob Wrapper

A modern, lightweight AdMob wrapper for .NET 10 Android, .NET 10 iOS, and .NET MAUI, designed to solve the lack of working AdMob bindings in the current .NET ecosystem.

Why this exists: As of 2025, there are no fully functional, up-to-date AdMob bindings for .NET MAUI. The official Xamarin.GooglePlayServices.Ads binding has broken classes (InterstitialAdLoadCallback.OnAdLoaded and others), and the iOS binding repository has been archived with no replacement. This library wraps the native Android and iOS SDKs in clean, bindable Kotlin and Swift layers and exposes them to .NET with both callback and async/await APIs.

Usage — Android

Initialization

Callback style

AdMobManager.Instance.Initialize(this, new MyInitListener());

private class MyInitListener : Java.Lang.Object, IOnInitializedListener
{
    public void OnInitialized()
    {
        // SDK ready, load ads
    }

    public void OnInitializationFailed(string error)
    {
        Console.WriteLine($"AdMob init failed: {error}");
    }
}

Async style

await AdMobManager.Instance.InitializeAsync(this);

Banner Ad

Callback style

var bannerWrapper = new BannerAdWrapper(this);
var adView = bannerWrapper.Load(
    adUnitId: "ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/6300978111",
    loadListener: new MyBannerLoadListener()
);
bannerContainer.AddView(adView);

private class MyBannerLoadListener : Java.Lang.Object, IOnAdLoadedListener
{
    public void OnAdLoaded() => Console.WriteLine("Banner loaded");
    public void OnAdFailedToLoad(int errorCode, string errorMessage) =>
        Console.WriteLine($"Banner failed: [{errorCode}] {errorMessage}");
}

Async style

var bannerWrapper = new BannerAdWrapper(this);
var adView = await bannerWrapper.LoadAsync("ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/6300978111");
bannerContainer.AddView(adView);

Interstitial Ad

Callback style

var interstitialWrapper = new InterstitialAdWrapper(this);
interstitialWrapper.Load(
    adUnitId: "ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/1033173712",
    loadListener: new MyLoadListener(),
    eventListener: new MyEventListener()
);

if (interstitialWrapper.IsLoaded())
    interstitialWrapper.Show(this);

private class MyLoadListener : Java.Lang.Object, IOnAdLoadedListener
{
    public void OnAdLoaded() => Console.WriteLine("Interstitial loaded");
    public void OnAdFailedToLoad(int errorCode, string errorMessage) =>
        Console.WriteLine($"Interstitial failed: [{errorCode}] {errorMessage}");
}

private class MyEventListener : Java.Lang.Object, IOnAdEventListener
{
    public void OnAdShown()      => Console.WriteLine("Interstitial shown");
    public void OnAdDismissed()  => Console.WriteLine("Interstitial dismissed");
    public void OnAdClicked()    => Console.WriteLine("Interstitial clicked");
    public void OnAdImpression() => Console.WriteLine("Interstitial impression");
    public void OnAdFailedToShow(int errorCode, string errorMessage) =>
        Console.WriteLine($"Interstitial show failed: [{errorCode}] {errorMessage}");
}

Async style

var interstitialWrapper = new InterstitialAdWrapper(this);
await interstitialWrapper.LoadAsync("ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/1033173712");
interstitialWrapper.Show(this);

Note: Interstitial ads are one-shot. Once dismissed, you need to call Load again before showing. This is by design — it gives you full control over which Ad Unit ID to use on the next load.

Rewarded Ad

Callback style

var rewardedWrapper = new RewardedAdWrapper(this);
rewardedWrapper.Load(
    adUnitId: "ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/5224354917",
    loadListener: new MyLoadListener()
);

if (rewardedWrapper.IsLoaded())
    rewardedWrapper.Show(this, new MyRewardListener());

private class MyRewardListener : Java.Lang.Object, IOnRewardEarnedListener
{
    public void OnRewardEarned(string type, int amount) =>
        Console.WriteLine($"Reward earned: {amount} {type}");
}

Async style

var rewardedWrapper = new RewardedAdWrapper(this);
await rewardedWrapper.LoadAsync("ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/5224354917");
var (type, amount) = await rewardedWrapper.ShowAsync(this);
Console.WriteLine($"Reward earned: {amount} {type}");

App Open Ad

Callback style

var appOpenWrapper = new AppOpenAdWrapper(this);
appOpenWrapper.Load(
    adUnitId: "ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/9257395921",
    loadListener: new MyLoadListener(),
    eventListener: new MyEventListener()
);

if (appOpenWrapper.IsLoaded() && !appOpenWrapper.IsShowing())
    appOpenWrapper.Show(this);

Async style

var appOpenWrapper = new AppOpenAdWrapper(this);
await appOpenWrapper.LoadAsync("ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/9257395921");

             x:Class="YourApp.MainPage">

    <Grid RowDefinitions="*, Auto">

        <Label Grid.Row="0" Text="Hello MAUI!" />

        <admob:BannerAd Grid.Row="1"
                        AdUnitId="ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/6300978111"
                        AdSize="Adaptive"
                        AdLoaded="OnBannerLoaded"
                        AdFailed="OnBannerFailed" />

    </Grid>
</ContentPage>

private void OnBannerLoaded(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Banner loaded");
}

private void OnBannerFailed(object sender, BannerAdFailedEventArgs e)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Banner failed: [{e.ErrorCode}] {e.ErrorMessage}");
}

Banner Ad sizes

Value	Description
`Adaptive`	Adapts to the container width (default)
`Banner`	Standard 320x50
`LargeBanner`	320x100
`MediumRectangle`	300x250
`FullBanner`	468x60
`Leaderboard`	728x90

Error handling

All async methods throw AdException on failure:

try
{
    await AdMobManager.Instance.InitializeAsync(this);
    var adView = await bannerWrapper.LoadAsync(adUnitId);
    bannerContainer.AddView(adView);
}
catch (AdException ex)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"AdMob error [{ex.ErrorCode}]: {ex.Message}");
}

Test Ad Unit IDs

Use these IDs during development. Never use real Ad Unit IDs on a device you own.

Notes about building

Android

The native Android SDK is built as an AAR using Gradle. The binding project references both debug and release flavors — the correct one is selected automatically based on the build configuration. When making changes to the native code, recompile the AAR from Android Studio and update the files in AMDevIT.Admob.Wrapper.Android/Jars/.

iOS

The native iOS SDK is built as an xcframework using Xcode. A build script is provided at native/ios/build_xcframework.sh to automate the process. When making changes to the Swift code, run the script from the native/ios/ directory:

./build_xcframework.sh

Then copy the generated build/AdMobWrapper.xcframework to AMDevIT.Admob.Wrapper.iOSNative/native/.

Contributing

Contributions are welcome. Please open an issue before submitting a pull request for significant changes.

When updating the native Android SDK version:

Update playServicesAdsVersion in libs.versions.toml
Recompile the AAR from Android Studio
Replace the AARs in AMDevIT.Admob.Wrapper.Android/Jars/
Update the Xamarin.GooglePlayServices.Ads NuGet version accordingly
Bump the package version and publish

When updating the native iOS SDK version:

Update the SPM dependency version in Xcode
Run ./build_xcframework.sh from native/ios/
Replace the xcframework in AMDevIT.Admob.Wrapper.iOSNative/native/
Bump the package version and publish
