I am trying to add test ads using the following plugin https://github.com/ShinNiL/Godot-Android-Admob-Plugin/releases/tag/v4.0.0 .

I am using Godot 3.2.2. It is working fine with banner ads(test ads) but interstitial ads are not showing up. The logcat says that interstitial ads are not being loaded.

Below is my code. I created a Node2D and did the following.

var node = preload("res://AdMob.tscn")
var admob
func instance_interstitial():
   admob = node.instance()
   admob.init()
   admob.load_interstitial()
   admob.show_interstitial()
func ready():
   instance_interstitial()

And below is the relevant logcat. On the third line from bottom it says interstitial ad not loaded.

Thanks for your time.

It is because you are calling showinterstitial() before the Ad is actually being loaded. It take some seconds for the Ad to get loaded (depends on connection). Call showinterstitial() after isinterstitialloaded() returns True.

For Godot 3.2.3 you can use precompiled binary modules for mediation networks: AppLovin-MAX and Tapdaq. Both of them allow you use several ad networks at the same time. For example you can connect AdMob and Facebook audience network to you application.
All binary modules can be installed from NativeLib repository. NativeLib addon you can find at AssetLib.
