App not showing in admob when trying to link?
AndroidAdmobAndroid Problem Overview
Don't know if it's ok to ask this question here, but I didn't know where to ask it...
I have made an app with an ad from AdMob. It works just fine, showing up in the app and everything. The problem is when I want to link my app in the AdMob interface, my app is not showing when I search the market.
But I know that it's actually on the market because I can find it when searching on play.google.com.
This is what I want to do. It says Link your app!
Anyone else had this problem and know how to fix it?
Thanks!
It is this part that I have a problem with: At the red arrow, where it says "Find your app in the search..." My app is not showing in the search result, but I know that it is on the market!

You need to wait a little bit more after publishing your app because AdMob indexes Play store and iTunes about every 48h.
Solution 2 - Android
My app took 2+ days to show up in Admob. Wait, it will show up. If your app name is a bit too common (like mine was "memes") - I would recommend to search by developer name. Admob will try to list all apps of that developer.
Solution 3 - Android
Instead of APP name if you provide Developer name ,then it will show of list all APPs by the developer.Then select your required APP [which was not listed when searched]. Enjoy !!!!

Make sure you publish the app for release. If your app is still in Beta it will not show up.
Solution 5 - Android
If you face issue linking your app and it takes more than 2 weeks you can contact google adMob team on google groups
Group name : Google Mobile Ads SDK Developers
Make sure you post your app details on the above group. My app was pending for 55 days and once I raised they have added my app in 24 hours.

I've been able to resolve it today by pasting the full AppStore URL to that search field.
If your App is published and available in the US region, this should probably work. Note that it may take up to 24 hours for the app to be visible on AppStore after releasing.

I have to contacted the Google Mobile Ads SDK Developers group and they quickly fixed the issue for me. Now everything works!
Tip: If you didn't find your app by the name, try the following options:
- the app's AppStore URL, for example: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/spotify-discover-new-music/id324684580
- the app's store ID, for example:
id324684580
- the publisher name, for example:
Spotify Ltd.

I had the same issue. I tried searching using the App Name, it did not show. I also tried entering the full App store url and it did not work either. So to resolve it, I did this:
-
Went to App Store Connect -> General -> App Information -> View on App Store
-
Copied only the last 2 part of the URL
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/COPIED_THE_REST_FROM_HERE
. -
Went to AdMob and pasted the section of the URL that looks something like this:
spotify-discover-new-music/id324684580
.
After that it worked. If the App was just released, please wait atleast 24 hours so the App listing in the store is updated.
