Admob real rewarded ads show instead of test ads

[Željko Ćirović]

I am working in Unity3D 2018.3.2f1 on an android game. I implemented a cascading combination of Unity and Admob ads, while giving Admob ads a higher priority. I implemented interstitial ads without any problems. I used both the test IDs (ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/1033173712 and ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/5224354917 for rewarded) and added my android as a test device. When I implemented the reward ads, everything was working fine except for crashes when the users interacted with the ads. I managed to fix the crashes with a workaround and everything was fine, but then for no reason I started getting real ads instead of the test ads (land rover and head&shoulders ads). Also, while I got a great response rate for the admob test reward ads, now I got them far less frequently indicating that really are real ads. I also tested everything on another device and everything worked normally. I am not sure what is causing this.

Hello there,

Thanks for reaching out to us. When you mentioned "Real Ads", have you seen the Ad with "Test Ad" label? Can you please capture the device logs and Charles logs for us to take a look? Have you seen this behavior with your own Ad unit Ids as well? Have you added the device as test device while testing?
