Admob with "Ad Placements" plugin only shows test-ads

Hi all,

I've installed the Ad Placements plugin, however, users report that only test ads are shown. I have it configured as follows:

GoogleMobileAdsSettings
AdMob App ID from the AdMob page, my app, app settings.

GoogleMobileAdsPlacements
Interstitial ad, with the ad unit ID from the AdMob page, my app, Ad Units, Interstitial (ca-app-pub-11111/1111)

AdsManager Script for the interstitial ad

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. using UnityEngine;
3. using GoogleMobileAds.Api;
4.  
5. public class AdManagerScenarioSelect : MonoBehaviour
6. {
7.     void Start()
8.     {
9.         MobileAds.Initialize((initStatus) =>
10.         {
11.             // SDK initialization is complete
12.         });
13.     }
14. }
15.  

How I linked the code

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. public class ScenarioSettings: MonoBehaviour
3. {
4.     public UnityEvent showInterAd;
5.  
6. public void Button()
7.     {
8. if (Scenariosplayed >= 5)
9.             {
10.                 showInterAd.Invoke();
11.                 Scenariosplayed = 0;
12.             }
13. }
14. }

-I made a gameobject called interstital ad. I added the "Interstititial Ad Gameobject Script" which came with the package. For ad placement I selected the interstitial ad, callback on "On Ad Closed" which runs a script (works fine).
-On the showInterAd UnityEvent in the inspector, I selected the before mentioned created gameobject Interstitial Ad. As Function I did "InterstitialAdGameObject.ShowIfLoaded".

AndroidManifest

Code (CSharp):

1. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
2. <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="com.google.unity.ads" android:versionName="1.0" android:versionCode="1">
3.   <application>
4.     <uses-library android:required="false" android:name="org.apache.http.legacy" />
5.     <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.APPLICATION_ID" android:value="[B]ca-app-pub-the~code[/B]" />
6.   </application>
7. </manifest>

I've waited a few days now in the hope it would auto-resolve... However, still test ads are being shown. Would anyone know what kind of mistake(s) I could have made that stops real ads from being shown?

 

Did you change the ad unit IDs from the plugin's inspector panel? By default, it comes with demo ad units.

 

Any update on this, I am getting test ad over a month now. Even if I published firstly without ad a month ago, gave admob the applink from the store and the app in admob is reviewed aand shows it's ready to serve ads.

 

did you find the solution? my app are showing test ad like you

 

Look at the first comment. It says it takes time and need views for admob to show real ads. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/72995048/how-to-add-real-admob-ads-in-to-my-unity-game
