Flutter App Crashes when Trying to Load Interstitial Ad
I am trying to put an interstitial ad on one of the screens in my app. My banner ads work perfectly fine. However, whenever the app tries to load the ad, <_interstitial.load();>, it crashes.
Code with interstitial ad:
import 'package:quench/models/achievement.dart';
import 'package:quench/models/user.dart';
import 'package:quench/screens/achievements/achievement_list.dart';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:quench/services/achievement_data.dart';
import 'package:quench/shared/constants.dart';
import 'package:quench/shared/loading.dart';
import 'package:quench/services/user_data.dart';
import 'package:google_mobile_ads/google_mobile_ads.dart';
import 'package:provider/provider.dart';
import 'package:quench/services/ad_state.dart';
class Achievements extends StatefulWidget {
@override
_AchievementsState createState() => _AchievementsState();
}
class _AchievementsState extends State<Achievements> {
bool firstTime = false;
bool doneLoading = false;
int currentWater = 0;
int waterTotal = 0;
var waterNeeded;
String needText = '';
UserData userData = new UserData();
Achievement achievement = new Achievement();
InterstitialAd _interstitial = InterstitialAd(
adUnitId: '', listener: AdListener(), request: AdRequest());
void initState() {
super.initState();
_initializeData();
}
@override
void didChangeDependencies() {
super.didChangeDependencies();
final adState = Provider.of<AdState>(context);
adState.initialization.then((status) {
setState(() {
_interstitial = InterstitialAd(
adUnitId: adState.interstitialAdUnitId,
request: AdRequest(),
listener: adState.adListenerInterstitial,
);
_interstitial.load();
});
});
}
void _update(int coins) {
setState(() => userData.coins = coins);
}
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
if (doneLoading == true) {
return Scaffold(

//print('coins = ${userData.coins}');
_interstitial.show();
Navigator.pop(context);
},

),
);
} else {
return Loading();
}
}
resetData() {
firstTime = true;
}
_initializeData() async {
await AchievementDataSet().getAchievement(achievement);
await UserDataSet().getUserData(userData);
setState(() {
doneLoading = true;
});
}
}
adState File:
import 'dart:io';
import 'package:google_mobile_ads/google_mobile_ads.dart';

Future<InitializationStatus> initialization;

AdListener _adListenerInterstitial = AdListener(

onAdClosed: (ad) {

onNativeAdClicked: (nativeAd) =>
print('Native ad clicked: ${nativeAd.adUnitId}'),
onNativeAdImpression: (nativeAd) =>
print('Native ad impression: ${nativeAd.adUnitId}'),
onRewardedAdUserEarnedReward: (ad, reward) =>
print('User rewarded: ${ad.adUnitId}'),
);
}
Ignore the incorrect AdIDs for IOs; I am using test ads and only testing on Android right now.

I have solved it.
1.add com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads in android/app/build.gradle dependencies { ...
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:7.5.0'
}
2.add multidex in android/app/build.gradle dependencies { ...
implementation 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.3'
}
in the defaultConfig enable multidex defaultConfig { ...
