xamarin.ios - Native Admob Ads in Xamarin.Forms. Are there any ready-made solutions / examples?

Question

I need to implement Native Ads in Xamarin.Forms. But I did not find any examples on Xamarin.Forms. Maybe someone has an example of using Native Ads on Xamarin.Forms and can share.

My example of what I was trying to do:

Android:

[assembly: Dependency(typeof(NativeAd))]
namespace Ads.Droid.Platform.Renderers.Ad
{
    public class NativeAd : AdListener, INativeAd
    {
        Context context = Android.App.Application.Context;
        NativeExpressAdView mAdView;

       public void Show()
        {   
            var videoOptions = new VideoOptions.Builder().SetStartMuted(false).Build();
            var adOptions = new NativeAdOptions.Builder().SetVideoOptions(videoOptions).Build();
            AdLoader adLoader = new AdLoader.Builder(context, "ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/2247696110").WithNativeAdOptions(adOptions).Build();

            var request = new AdRequest.Builder();
            foreach (var item in TestDevice.GetTestDevices())
                request.AddTestDevice(item);

            adLoader.LoadAd(request.Build());   
        }
    }
}

or:

[assembly: Dependency(typeof(NativeAd))]
namespace Ads.Droid.Platform.Renderers.Ad
{
    public class NativeAd : AdListener, INativeAd
    {
        NativeExpressAdView mAdView;

       public void Show()
        {   
            mAdView = new NativeExpressAdView(Android.App.Application.Context)
            {
                AdUnitId = "ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/2247696110",
                AdSize = AdSize.MediumRectangle
            };
            var request = new AdRequest.Builder();
            foreach (var item in TestDevice.GetTestDevices())
                request.AddTestDevice(item);
            mAdView.LoadAd(request.Build());    
        }
    }
}

In iOS didn’t do it, but I also need an example. Maybe something needs to be changed or completed. Help me please.

You can also use GoogleMobileAds in iOS. Important the package Xamarin.Firebase.iOS.AdMobfrom NuGet.

in AppDelegate.cs

...
using Google.MobileAds;
...

public override bool FinishedLaunching(UIApplication app, NSDictionary options)
{
   . . .
   MobileAds.Configure("ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/2247696110 ");
   . . . 
} 

in iOS Dependency

[assembly: Xamarin.Forms.Dependency(typeof(NativeiOSAd))]
namespace XXX.iOS
{
    public class NativeiOSAd:NativeAd
    {

        NativeExpressAdView mAdView;

        public NativeiOSAd()
        {
        }

        public void Show()
        {
            AdSize adSize = new AdSize();
            adSize.Size = new CGSize(UIScreen.MainScreen.Bounds.Size.Width, 100);

            mAdView = new NativeExpressAdView(adSize)
            {
                AdUnitID = "ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/2247696110"
            };

            Request request = Request.GetDefaultRequest();


            mAdView.LoadRequest(request);
        }
    }
}

Don't forget add the NSAllowsArbitraryLoads, NSAllowsArbitraryLoadsForMedia, and NSAllowsArbitraryLoadsInWebContent exceptions to your app's Info.plist file to disable ATS restrictions.
