Unity Fake ads work great in editor but not on android or even published

Testing my game in Editor, the ads work great right where they should be but when exported to my android phone and installed from google play no ads show. Ive tested on a Galaxy Note 8, Samsung S7, samsung s8. I did the Unity guide step by step. I have my script on a prefab called AdBox. I made sure that I pasted mygame ID(hoping it was a simple error). Just seem I cant figure this out. Is it possible Unity ADs take awhile with publishing? Thinking of every possible angle here lol
Here is my Script:
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.Advertisements;
using UnityEngine.Monetization;



public class ADManager : MonoBehaviour
{
public static ADManager Instance { get; set; }

public string placementId = "video";
public string bannerPlacement = "banner";

public bool testMode = false;

#if UNITY_IOS
public const string gameId = "1234567";
#elif UNITY_ANDROID
public const string gameID = "2926214";
#elif UNITY_EDITOR
public const string gameID = "1111111";
#endif



private void Start()
{
Monetization.Initialize(gameID, testMode);
Advertisement.Initialize(gameID, testMode);
Instance = this;
DontDestroyOnLoad(gameObject);
StartCoroutine(ShowBannerWhenReady());
}

IEnumerator ShowBannerWhenReady()
{
while (!Advertisement.IsReady("banner"))
{
Debug.Log("Banner not ready");
yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.5f);
}
Debug.Log("Showing Banner");
Advertisement.Banner.Show(bannerPlacement);
}

public void ShowDefaultAd()
{
#if UNITY_ADS
if (!Advertisement.IsReady())
{
Debug.Log("Ads not ready for default placement");
return;
}

Advertisement.Show();
#endif
}



public void ShowAd()
{
StartCoroutine(ShowAdWhenReady());
}

public IEnumerator ShowAdWhenReady()
{
while (!Monetization.IsReady(placementId))
{
Debug.Log("Default ad not ready");
yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.25f);
}

ShowAdPlacementContent ad = null;
ad = Monetization.GetPlacementContent(placementId) as ShowAdPlacementContent;

if (ad != null)
{
Debug.Log("Showing Default ad");
ad.Show();
}
}

}

 

Please provide the device logs. On Android, your Debug.Log statements will be included https://forum.unity.com/threads/how-to-capturing-device-logs-on-android.528680/ On a side note, please use code tags. Look for the Code: button in the ribbon bar above

 

I'm having the same issue. Was this problem resolved?

 

What do your device logs show? I trust that you are using the correct gameID, and @snowwolfam24 make sure your code snippet above is not displaying your real gameID (for privacy/security)

 

Does this log help? I've double checked the Game ID for Google Play Store and it matches my script. I otherwise copied the Implementing Banner ads guide script and it works in the editor but not on any device so far.

I've done video adds on a previous app and that worked fine. Maybe there is something else that I'm missing because I'm trying to use banner ads.

 

Currently banner ads work in the US and we are rolling out to other countries. In your logs however I don't see anywhere where you are initializing ads. Please place Debug.Log statements in the relevant portions in your app, which will then show in the logs.

 

This log has more info. Look for things related to SantaNeedsYourHelp. The device has Feet_and_Inches_Calc on it which runs video ads that are working.

I noticed a warning that says "Could not show banner due to No fill for placement banner." Does this mean that there is no ad available to show?

This is how I placed Debug.Log statements:

Code (CSharp):

1. void Start()
2.     {
3.         Debug.Log("In the Start method for UnityAds script");
4.         Advertisement.Initialize(gameID, testMode);
5.         StartCoroutine(ShowBannerWhenReady());
6.     }
7.  
8.     IEnumerator ShowBannerWhenReady()
9.     {
10.         Debug.Log("In the Coroutine for UnityAds script");
11.         while (!Advertisement.IsReady("banner"))
12.         {
13.             Debug.Log("In the While loop for UnityAds script");
14.             yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.5f);
15.         }
16.         Debug.Log("After the While loop for UnityAds script");
17.         Advertisement.Banner.Show(bannerPlacement);
18.     }

 

"Initializing Unity Ads 2.1.1 (2101) with game id ***** in test mode" You should be using the Monetization SDK 3.0 available on the Asset Store, and you are using test mode. https://unityads.unity3d.com/help/unity/integration-guide-unity

 

I downloaded "Unity Monetization 3.0" from the asset store when I started this project. If I try to download again, it says "Nothing to import!"

I've been toggling back and forth on Production and Test Mode trying to get something to work. If in test mode, will I see a gray box that says "This would be your banner" on the android device?

 

There are two apps on that device so the older app may be using 2.1.1. See this line from the log:
12-06 15:51:15.450 19055 19074 I UnityAds: com.unity3d.services.UnityServices.initialize() (line:79) :: Initializing Unity Services 3.0.0 (3000) with game id #####29 in production mode

 

It worked for the first time today, but only once. It looks like there just aren't ads available to display. I'm in the US so I thought that wouldn't be a problem.

 

Had the same issue, had to switch to another network. If you do end up getting this to work, please let us know

 

I've seen your posts on the forum. I think I'll be switching to another platform, too.

 

I am by no means trying to make Unity lose customers, but if that's what it takes to improve banner ads.. lol
I am currently trying Facebook Audience Network, and StartApp.

I had a hell of a time trying to implement FAN banners, especially due to no customer support, and a low activity support group. Finally got it implemented, but my apps CPM is only like $0.30 at the moment.. Hope that goes up as more people use it.

StartApp was super easy to implement, but after 80 impressions, and 10 clicks at 100% fill rate, there was $0 earnings, not sure if that aswell would go up within time or not, but either way, I will stay with FAN for a month and see if it's worth it.

Really hoping Unity banner ads improve soon.

 

Yeah, similar issue here with 2018.3. Unity banner ads show as intended in the editor. It seems the banners do load eventually, so I assume the issue is with the ad server and not the implementation code. I really hope Unity prioritizes this issue. I know it's early for Unity's banner implementation, so maybe they don't have enough advertisers, but the same activity is identical for test ads. Can take anywhere from 1 second to multiple minutes before the banner shows if it even does at all, and by then, the players have already moved on to the next screen. It's wildly inconsistent on the load times when the entire point of a banner ad is to serve it quickly. Thanks for the recommendations on other services.

 

Well the issue can be solved just go to your unity dashboard and select the game or project you published or publishing then go to Ads then placement where you can find in the ads option that ask for "forced to disable test ads" click yes then no Test Ads will be going to show on your game or app Unity will show the real Ads to your customer. Hope this will help you.

 

Hi, are you happy with FAN?

I'm trying with this unity ads, it works in editor but no working on android devices, (for these days that type of errors should be solved) On the other hand Admob support suks, so simple, I want to try with FAN

 

Hey , I'm having the same issue
ONLY IN BANNER ADS (video is working)
so this is my code , also the device unity log
so what should I do ?

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;

Same issue here. There's always an issue with Unity of late.

 

Hi there!
Same issue: video ads work ok, banner ad not shown on android at least in Greece and Russia.
You may try it here - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.Omega486GameStudio.DeepSpaceRescue1 - banner should start from main menu scene

Is banner option still in development or available inside US only?

 

what do you mean wheres disable test ads?

also banner ads dont show in south korea?

 

I am having the same issue.

It worked once and then it just stopped working. I have the following error:

2019/08/18 01:45:35.921 26187 26547 Error UnityAds: com.unity3d.services.core.api.Sdk.logError() (line:57) :: No fill for placement Banner


any Fix?

 

I selected the "override client test mode -> ON" and I get the test unity banner

https://unityads.unity3d.com/help/unity/integration-guide-unity#banner-ads

Testing
Prior to publishing your game, enable test mode by following these steps:

1. From the Operate tab of the Developer Dashboard, select your Project.
2. Select Settings > Project Settings from the left navigation bar.
3. Scroll down to the Test mode section and click the edit button on a platform(Apple App Store or Google Play Store), check Override client test mode box, then select the Force test mode ON radio button.

In the Unity Editor, click the play button to run your Project and test your ads implementation.

Note: You must enable test mode before testing ads integration, to avoid getting flagged for fraud.

 

Is Unity banner ads available in india??? because when in test mode both my video ads and banner ads works but when published only my real video ads shows up.

 

Is there Banner ADS in Switzerland ? In build-it version I can't get a Banner ADS, only video.

 

I have published a game on googleplay that uses Unity rewarded ads. Once the player dies, they have an option of reviving by watching a rewarded ad. However when I try this, the ad shows only 3 or 4 times and then nothing happens after that(when I click the revive button). Here is the ad manager script:

string GooglePlay_ID = "123456";

bool test_mode = false;

string myPlacementId = "rewardedVideo";   



void Start()

{

   Advertisement.AddListener(this);

   Advertisement.Initialize(GooglePlay_ID, test_mode);

}



public void DisplayVideoAD()

{       

   Advertisement.Show(myPlacementId);

}



public void OnUnityAdsDidFinish(string placementId, ShowResult showResult)

{



   if (showResult == ShowResult.Finished)

   {

     GameManager.instance.ReceiveReward();

   }

   else if (showResult == ShowResult.Skipped)

   {

       

   }



   else if (showResult == ShowResult.Failed)

   {

       Debug.LogWarning("The ad did not finish due to an error.");

   }

}



 public void OnUnityAdsReady(string placementId)

{

   

   if (placementId == myPlacementId)

   {

       

   }

}



public void OnUnityAdsDidError(string message)

{

   

}



public void OnUnityAdsDidStart(string placementId)

{

   

}

Here is the ReceiveReward() function that's in the game manager. This function seems to work fine as after clicking the button, the game restarts with the score before the player died.

public void ReceiveReward()

{

   savedScore = (int)playerScore;

   UpdateUI(GameStates.Start);       

   SceneManager.LoadScene(1);

}

I'm not sure what's going wrong as the ads work a few times...Can someone please help?

 

Banner won't show up in Spain with Unity Ads. However, rewarded and interstitial work. Any clue?

 

No errors are logged at all. In fact, ads are initialized because when using Quantum Console to display logs in build, it shows a custom log I use to check when ads are initialized.. Excepting that, no error nor weird logs at all. Test Mode ones are shown only in editor.

 

Hi, in the internal test and the alpha test and the beta test is normal the fake unity ads not showing rigth?

I have an internal test app and IAP works fine but rewardVideo button not work nothing happend.
I have in the dashboard "Force test mode ON (i.e. use test ads) for all devices" because I dont want to be flag for fraud.

Thank you sorry for my bad english.

 

I'm also having same problem. If I change the testmode to true it shows unity test ad. If I change it to false it doesn't show production ads. I want to upload my game tomorrow that's why I check the game by changing the test mode to false.

 

Two days before it's worked for few times and again it's not working

 

This is my codes.

 

Same problem around here, any solution?

 

Two days before it's worked for few times and again it's not working. Wait I will send you

Yes I update SDK through android studio and set the path and it's worked for first time.
And I update android app bundle version for Google play then it's not show any ads again.

 

Yeah me too it worked once then it stopped suddenly and it just for banner ads

 

I can see the banner ad in test mode but not Interstitial. Is there any reason? How can I be sure if the Interstitial ad is working in test mode? in the editor, it looks fine.

Code (CSharp):

Forget banner , my video Ads are not working when built and used in device and even after publishing on play store. it just works in editor..... and only if test mode is enabled. when i am ready to publish my game...i disable test mode and end up, resulting no ads on screen....did anyone found the solution ... plss help?!

 

unity ads are suck!!

 

I am facing same issue. I am integrating rewarded video in my game. It works well in editor, but no ads on android device. Have been struggling for 1 week now. I think Unity does not have Ads to display. That seems to be the issue. May be their fill rate is too less or 0 in india. If someonefrom India getting rewarded Ads please guide me. This is my first test game and I do not want to get demotivated because of this issue.

 

Ya that seems to be the problem. I just published the game to play store, and if i use a vpn i seee the ads, but if i dont use vpn, then ads dont work. This is sad.

 

The issue is still there , i got the same situation that real ads are not showing , and the test ads are showing only on editor

 

Same! I've been struggling for 3 days.
