Using UMP SDK while app is not approved yet. Is this a normal behavior?

[Medo]

Hi,
I've successfully implemented the consent form.
In admob dashboard (Android):
App Verification: Verified
Approval Status: Getting Ready
I have my messages set up and published.

When I test to prompt the form, I always get: status: NOT_REQUIRED and isConsentFormAvailable: false when I output the consent info, and of course the form doesn't show.

However, when I tested with a different admob app id (not mine, someone's else), the form shows normally and everything works fine.

My question is, is this a normal behavior because the approval status is still Getting Ready?

Thank you for contacting the Mobile Ads SDK Support team.

To investigate the issue further, could you please share your app ID which is in getting ready state and ad unit ID with us via reply to author option.

Hi,

Thank you for providing the requested information. 

Please note that the apps in the "Getting Ready" state are currently under review. This usually takes a couple of days, but in some cases we may require more time to evaluate your app. 

Note: If you recently signed up for AdMob, your apps will remain in the 'Getting Ready' status until your account is verified. Enter your payment details to have your account verified. 

If the app is in "Getting Ready" state then the consent prompts will not show to users. This is because the app isn't yet available for users to interact with in a live environment. 

Thanks,

The app is already live on Play Store and available for users to interact with.
As I understood from your comment, because the app in admob is still in Getting Ready phase, consent form will not be shown to users. Is that correct?
I want to make sure because consent form is a requirement in Google Ads.

Hi,

Yes, the consent form won’t show if the app in AdMob is still in the Getting Ready phase.

Thanks,
