Much lower show rate and impressions with capacitor

[harryt2]

I rebuilt my app in Capacitor and used the Capacitor plugin. The earnings/impressions/show rate on iOS dropped off a cliff. Tried many things but to no avail. I was using the cordova version of Admob Plus. I think the problem may be with Capacitor itself, their custom webview implementation may be missing some APIs that are important for Admob? Not sure.

@ratson Do you have any idea what's going?

Not only capacitor. I use Cordova for about ten years now and my earnings dropped by 60% since the GDPR is needed in Europe. I did successfully implement the consent. But earnings are almost gone.

In my case, most of my users aren't in the EU. The GDPR didn't affect my earnings much. And this happened the moment I uploaded the Capacitor app. There's a technical problem here that I hope @ratson will look into.

@ratson Take a look at these screenshots from the npm history. People are downloading 1.28.0 (2 years old) much more. I think there's something wrong in the webview after that version. The only difference I've found is that 1.28.0 (that gets the higher CPM) doesn't have GADIntegrationManager "webview" in the info.plist
