    Hello,

    From your experience, how long does it take for Google to see (index) your app-ads.txt inside Google AdMob account? Please see attached printscreen. app.png

    It's been a while and my ads are not showing while playing my game, although the Google test ads were being displayed while playing the game.

    Thanks!

    In order for the AdMob system to be able to locate and verify your app-ads.txt file, make sure that the following conditions are met:
    The app should be registered on Google Play or the Apple App Store.
    Your app page in the store should include a developer site.

    To add your developer site to the app page in the store:
    On Google Play: add the address of the website in the section where the contact details are displayed on the application page:
    Enter the Play Console.
    Choose an app.
    In the menu on the right, click on Store presence (presence in the store) > Store listing (the application page in the store).
    Scroll to contact details.
    Add the address of the developers website.
    In the Apple App Store: Add the developer site in the Marketing URL field on the app page in the store.
    If you add a developer site or update it on the app page on Google Play, it may take up to 24 hours for the AdMob system to detect these changes.

    Thanks for the answer!

    I have already done all the steps you described, but with no result.

    During those 14 days of waiting, did you see anything listed in the image below?

    I don't want to mislead you, but I don't remember that much.
    Can't you ask for help from customer service and check why it's delayed for you?

    I've just tried asking for help from customer service, but it says "Something went wrong. Please try again."

    Don't know that to do next, i have verified the settings a thousand times...
