Hello has anyone any idea when we are likely to get an admob plugin or some kind of simple cross platform advert solution. I really do rate phone gap build as a great service but the lack of some kind of advert plugin / solution is extremely frustrating. I also think as many others do that this is fundamental requirement to monetize any app and needs addressing sooner rather than later.

This is extremely critical and that there is no decent option for ads on phonegap build today makes me want to go ahead and kill my CC subscription already. I have tons of apps I want to monetize by ads but Adobe has no interest whatsoever in helping with this, which is obvious from the number of times this question has been asked. AT LEAST let us use plugman compatible custom plugins?! I mean wtf.

the adMob plugin exist, but not on the build, because the Phonegap team rejected plugin with binary code (admob SDK).
You can use this with Phonegap CLI : https://github.com/aliokan/cordova-pl...

I'm not at all interested in getting a Mac, setting up the CLI and new projects for 8 apps. I pay for the Adobe CC subscription so I don't have to. I can see why they reject binary plugins when submitted for use by everyone, but if I wanted to use a plugin with binaries in my own project there should be no reason to refuse me that option.

Yeah I have seen the plugin for CLI but I need a solution for BUILD. I use the service for building Android, IOS and WinPhone. The only reason I don't use CLI is down to money I can't afford all the hardware required to build IOS on a Mac.
The PhoneGap Build service really is good and I like it but this needs sorting big time.

If someone at PhoneGap has a lead time or any info on when or if a plugin / solution may come available please let us know, this would give me something to work on and develop some kind of plan as to when or if I can introduce ads.
Thanks everyone

Sadly it seems they have very little interest in this.. just the fact that they have "community support" when you pay for Adobe CC, not to mention that we have 20+ users of CC at my company. I've never seen this bad support/help and paid this much for it.. this question has been asked several times over the past _years_ without any other response than "use the CLI".

The cost involved to develop IOS on CLI is huge, I don't really have an interest in buying an Apple Mac although this looks like it may be necessary if a solution is not provided in the near future.
All I need is an answer one way or another, if it's not going to happen I can cancel my build account and work out where to get the cash for a Mac.

Can you imagine how popular PhoneGap Build would become if there was a cross-platform ad plugin?
Even dedicated PGB plugins for each platform would be sufficient to drive the popularity of this through the roof!
I love PGB, but if we had dedicated Ad support and SQLite support can you imagine the possibilities!?

Yeah I agree totally. Non of these short falls are obvious or apparent when you sign up though.

Per usual procedure no response from PGB staff. What is the blocker? Why can't we use our own private custom plugins that _do_not_have_to_be_submitted_to_the_plugin_gallery_? binary restrictions on public plugins, extremely understandable.. this? not worth a damn. Happy if we can keep this thread alive for long enough that they can't even ignore it.

To be honest i expected a reply from Phone Gap Build staff by now. Since i first posted this question i have spent considerable time looking for a solution to this problem with no answers as yet. If the answer is no there will be no plugin thats fair enough i will move on to something else maybe CLI but i would appreciate a response please.
Thanks

I have tried hitting them up on twitter as well to make them aware. I am also thinking about the CLI but it's such a mess converting 10+ projects to the CLI and setting up android+xcode sdks.. don't really have time for it.

Yeah sure is a ball breaker. Not just the time but costs involved also. Still doesn't get past the fact that monetisation by any means i would think is fundamental, i don't know what other users are doing about this.
If any other users have sorted this or found other means of monetisation please post back. This whole issue is doing my nut in, plus it's holding me back now.

I will spare you the details of why we don't currently support binary plugins, the important thing is that we are currently working on changing that! It won't be done in the next days or weeks but we are working to get this done for you.
The feedback is definitely appreciated.

This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled
Admob or Ad plugin available for Cordova/Phonegap 3.3?.
I need to implement some ads on my application but all of the ad plugins I have found are for earlier versions of phonegap. Are there any available for 3.3? If not, will the older plugins work for 3.3? thanks!

This one has worked for me on Phonegap 3.3 when compiled locally: https://github.com/floatinghotpot/cor...

It looks like the only solution i can find to this is to build locally, such a shame that i'll have to drop my PhoneGap Build account i really did like it and the service and speed was fantatstic.
I simply cannot spend any more time building apps with no monetization outside of charging for the app.
I decided to build Android locally on a PC and sign up for a Macincloud account to build the IOS apps.
The macincloud account is three times as much as PGB but what the hell i get to where i need to be ads and monetization.
Thanks for all your help.

I did exactly the same. I am stuck in my contract with Adobe for a while more but if this isn't fixed by then... I'm done with it. I prefer PGB a 100 times to building locally but that is useless considering I can't make any money from it :)

If users can't submit binary plugins, Adobe please provide and Admob plugin similar to the GAPlugin.

Hello again, has any PhoneGap staff member any news on this issue please.
I have not heard a thing for a while now, are things moving forward to a solution for this issue, it must be driving other users round the bend also.
Thanks
