My React native project contains ads. I don't want ad blockers to get in the way of this. I tried the https://www.npmjs.com/package/adblock-detect-react package but it didn't work. Can't I use a package written for React in react native? Is there any way to block ad blockers in React native?
CodePudding user response：
It's possible that the "adblock-detect-react" package you mentioned is not compatible with React Native, as React Native uses a different JavaScript runtime (JavaScriptCore) than web browsers, and the package may rely on browser-specific features that are not available in React Native.
It is generally not possible to block ad blockers in React Native, as ad blockers work at the browser level, whereas React Native runs JavaScript code directly on the device. However, there are a few things you can try to improve the chances of your ads being seen:
- Use native ads: Instead of displaying ads in a web view, you can use native ads that are integrated with your app's layout and design. This can make it harder for ad blockers to detect and block the ads.
- Test your app with various ad blockers: Test your app with different ad blockers to see if they are blocking your ads, and if so, try to find ways to work around the blockers.
- Use ad networks that are less likely to be blocked: Some ad networks are less likely to be blocked by ad blockers. You can try using these networks to increase the chances of your ads being seen.
- Show ads after a certain amount of time or interaction: You can delay the showing of ads until a certain amount of time has passed or until the user has interacted with the app in some way. This can make it harder for ad blockers to detect and block the ads.
It's important to keep in mind that the effectiveness of these methods may vary, and that ad blockers are constantly evolving, so it's difficult to completely prevent ad blockers from blocking your ads. However, by following the above suggestions you can increase the chances of your ads being seen.
Also, you can use some ad providers that have a way to detect ad block and show a message to the user asking them to turn off the ad blocker for your app.
