App closes on start while using ti.admob module

Question

I'm trying to integrate the ti.admob module in my Titanium app to use it with iOS.

The problem that I am having is that if I simply include the module in the tiapp.xml file the app stops working. It tries to open but then closes alone without even showing the splash screens.

I have tried several versions of the module; Several of 3.x.x, 4.0.0, and 4.8.0, and none worked.

How can I get the module to work or what am I missing that is causing my problem?

You have to add keys to the tiapp.xml. For that have a look at the official docs at https://github.com/tidev/ti.admob/blob/master/apidoc/Admob.yml#L43 and also this issue https://github.com/tidev/ti.admob/issues/306 that talks about crashes on launch with some information too (there is a Manuel in the thread, not sure if that is already you )

about the different versions:

the latest should be the best here since it is using a newer version of the ad framework. BUT it includes some adaptars that might not be needed. Be sure to read some infos in the PR (https://github.com/tidev/ti.admob/pull/166).
