I'm trying to monetize my app with MoPub for iOS 14, but my ad is not being shown and I get some errors that include Target is not running or required target entitlement is missing.

According to MoPub Support, this is NOT a problem with MoPub -- it's a problem with my app configuration. However, the problem only occurs if the MoPub framework is added to the project.

Here are the relevant logs:

Code Block Initialized OM SDK version: 1.3.4-Mopub

Could not signal service com.apple.WebKit.WebContent: 113: Could not find specified service
Could not signal service com.apple.WebKit.Networking: 113: Could not find specified service

I tried integrating the MoPub framework manually, and via cocoa pods -- with the same outcome.

Question: What entitlement(s) do I need to add to my app, assuming that this is an entitlements issue? How do I fix these errors?

Thank you!

Edit: I tried adding the "Access WiFi Information" capability and also the "App Transport Security Settings" -> "Allow Arbitrary Loads" .plist entry, to no avail.

That's likely more a question to ask to MoPub directly.

Good luck.

I have a very similar issue (same error messages) without MobPub framework on iPhone 11 PRO (iOS 14.5) in a cordova app.
I opened a stackoverflow question - maybe it helps:

@JoeWest: could you already solve the issue?

Hi @JoeWest,

Same issue but without MobPub framework either (native app though not cordova as @findMarcel).

I've been searching the internet for a fix but found many people encountering this issue without a solution.

Did you figure it out?

Thanks!
