hello
So i wanted to test my unity ads thing so i created an real quick app where you press a button and the advertisment shows
But i only get advertisement from unity ads itself and not from real advertisers
is that because i didnt putt my app in the store yet?
Hope you guys can help
It’s because you are initializing Unity Ads with test mode enabled. You only see test ads when test mode is enabled.
Hi Nikkolai, my game is released on iOS app store, but I am still only getting the placeholder test ads. I read from another of your posts that there is a failsafe so that test ads can not be shown on a released game.
I am using a Playmaker action to show the ads. Test Ads is checked in the action - I realise that I should have unchecked this before submitting to App Store, but according to your other posts, Test Ads is only enable if the build is also a Development Build. As I understand it, it is impossible for me to submit a Development Build to the App Store? In any case, the build submitted was definitely not a Development Build (according to the Build Settings at least) and Test Ads was definitely checked (ON).
Should I be waiting a few days for the real ads to kick in, or have I done something very wrong?!
Thanks
Wayne
This only pertains to the UnityAdsHelper script. I’ve written a failsafe into the script to only enable test mode when Development Build is enabled in Build Settings.
There is another failsafe server-side. You can now override your test mode settings from the Admin.
With the Ad Test Mode set to Force Off, your game will serve production ads only.
Nikkolai, I’m sure you are already a legend to others, but now you are a legend to me too! Thanks!
I guess you really second guessed us and decided that you really did need to make this idiot proof!
Many thanks from this idiot right here! ;D
Nikkolai, we are actually on the same boat. Our game Cliffy Run launched today and we are only getting test ads worldwide. Right now its a mess with the old and new dashboards both being live, with one able to do certain things, the other being able to do other things. Regardless, on both dashboards the stats are empty and we are only getting test ads. Help 
We have already Forced Off all test ads on the old dashboard. They new dashboard doesn’t seem capable of doing that yet.
Just adding here for anyone that finds this, that the override is currently available in the new dashboard, it just might be a bit harder to find than what is shown above. You have to click on a specific platform (e.g. Apple App Store) and then select “Settings” to find the options listed above.
Hi I understand all , just a question of begin of this post, My game need to be publish on market to see real ads?
At moment I can’t see real ads, and I set up my test device with the IDFA, but nothing happens, I initialized my test mode in false.
Thanks.
Hey! now works like a charm, I restart my device because the ads don’t appears and the changes on panel can take a minutes.
Well… I guess that the test devices help if I initialize my code with test mode TRUE, and with this only I need register the device without build again, only to test.
I’ve went into the new dashboard to do this but the option is greyed out fo some reason… Any ideas why that might be?
Hi Nikkolai, I have published my game on google app store .I have problem with unity ads. Ads can be seen in small resolution device but coming to High resolution device ads are not appearing regularly.i have unchecked test ads in unity services. can you help with this plz.
Hey EveryOne…I have a same issue like this…i tried all the things shown in the forums…In my apk built i only see unity test ads.
Settings i have done :
Note :Both the playstore and apple IDS i have written Right
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.Advertisements;
public class UnityADs : MonoBehaviour
{
public static UnityADs Instance;
private string playstoreid = "XXXXXXX";
private string appleid = "XXXXXXX";
private string InsterstialAd = "video";
private string RewardedAd = "rewardedVideo";
private string BannerAd = "banner";
public bool isTargetedPlayStore;
public bool isTestAds;
// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start()
{
Instance = this;
InitialiseAdvertisement();
StartCoroutine(ShowBannerWhenReady());
}
// Update is called once per frame
public void InitialiseAdvertisement()
{
if (isTargetedPlayStore) { Advertisement.Initialize(playstoreid, isTestAds);return; }
Advertisement.Initialize(appleid , isTestAds);
}
public void adshower()
{
if (!Advertisement.IsReady(InsterstialAd)) { return; }
Advertisement.Show(InsterstialAd);
}
IEnumerator ShowBannerWhenReady()
{
while (!Advertisement.IsReady(BannerAd))
{
yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.5f);
}
Advertisement.Banner.SetPosition(BannerPosition.BOTTOM_CENTER);
Advertisement.Banner.Show(BannerAd);
}
}
Please Help me in this Matter
@NINADHAJARE Check your UnityADs object in the Unity Editor. It could be your “isTestAds” public variable is still set to true. You may also have your device registered as a test device on the dashboard - if this is the case then that device will always receive test ads, regardless of any other settings.
Hi Nikkolai, as well as doing this do i need to change the public bool isTestAd; in my code? Thanks in advance
Hi there, when publishing my game do i have to change the public bool isTestAd; as well or just untick is test add in the inspector tab? Thank you in advance
When calling this line of code:
Advertisement.Initialize(id, isTestAds);
The second parameter controls whether you receive test ads or not. However the variable isTestAds is set depends on your project, but it should be false to receive live ads.
Many thanks Kr for clearing this up for me.
Nikkolai’s solution works perfectly for me, simple and easy!
