Interstitial test ad not showing

[Lauri]

Hi!

I'm building a game with Unity. I implemented Google AdMob recently, got everything else working perfectly (banner ads and rewarded ads) but interstitial is not showing.
 They do show up when I try it on editor but not when I build the game and download it (doing internal testing)(My phone is white listed - It shows "test ad" when ever an ad pops up)
 I tried making a button, when I press it the ad should show up, but nothing. In editor it shows but not when I build. (Right now I have 1 button set up. Like when the button is pressed the interstitial is requested and after the request is done, it loads the showing function.) Should it be done separately, like 2 buttons or with a coroutine, like after 3 seconds show interstitial ad? Or is there something I have missed entirely?
 I checked the test ad ID, its whats given in the instruction page (ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/1033173712)

I guess I will answer it myself and for everyone else who is having this issue.

Starting a Coroutine is the way to go but not by having a magical 3 seconds wait time.
Instead do a while loop like:
while(!interstitial.IsLoaded()){ yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.2f); } interstitial.Show();

This way the while loop goes on until the ad is loaded and once it is it will show.

Use it with Rewarded ad as well!

Hope this helps anyone who needs this!
