AdMob SDK not initialising on device

[Lawrence Steele]

Hi,

I am working on a game in Unity. 

I have integrated the Admob SDK and have got test ads showing up in the editor when I run the game. But testing on device (Android) I don't see any ads and looking at the logs shows that the SDK initialization never completes, but I don't see any errors or anything.

Any ideas what to test or try?

Hi,

Thanks for contacting us.

Could you check by putting break points whether control is going to load ads or not ?

I am able to load the ads in Google Sample project.

Can you try once with latest SDK in Google Sample Project . If facing issue then share the Sample Project with us so that we can check further.

Hi,

here is my implementation code:

private void Start()
{
InitializeMobileAds();
}

private void InitializeMobileAds()
{
Debug.Log("Initializing Mobile Ads SDK...");
MobileAds.Initialize((InitializationStatus initstatus) =>
{
if (initstatus == null)
{
Debug.LogError("Google Mobile Ads initialization failed.");
return;
}

Debug.Log("Mobile Ads SDK initialized.");
});
}

It works in Unity editor but on device I only see "Initializing Mobile Ads SDK..." and it never shows any other messages and loading/displaying ads doesn't work either.

I downloaded the sample project and built it, using the same app id for google ads that I am using in my game project and it works fine on device.

Please advise what else I can try to fix this issue!

Thanks!

Hi,

It sounds like an integration specific issue as you are not facing any issue with the Google sample project. Can you provide us a sample project which replicates the issue, so we could have full visibility of your implementation.
