Post Installation

Update your mainfest.xml and add in your Admob app id (Yes, for later version, you need admob app id):

<manifest>
    <application>
    <meta-data
            android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.APPLICATION_ID"
            android:value="ca-app-pub-3940256099942544~3347511713"/> // This is sample-id for testing only, don't use it in PRODUCTION!!! You will get banned for life!
    </application>
</manifest>

Usage

react-native-advertising-id module provides a method getAdvertisingId() that returns a Promise. This resolves in an object containing advertisingId as a string representing the GAID/AAID or IDFA depending on the platform, and isLimitAdTrackingEnabled indicating wether the user opted to restrict the usage of his AdvertisingId or not. (Note: If enabled on iOS, advertisingId will result in an empty string).

import RNAdvertisingId from 'react-native-advertising-id';

  RNAdvertisingId.getAdvertisingId()
    .then(response => {
      this.setState({
        advertisingId: response.advertisingId,
        isLimitAdTrackingEnabled: response.isLimitAdTrackingEnabled,
      });
    })
    .catch(error => console.error(error));
