I have an Android application which is present on Play Store. I had inserted AdMob ads but they don't show. Test ads work perfectly fine. But when I try live ads I only get "Failed to load ads: Error code 0" error in the Logs. I changed the package name to something else, also modified the package name in the google-services.json file, and now the ads show perfectly fine. I don't know what the problem is. I can't upload the new app with changed package name to the same one on Play Store. Please help me with a solution. Thank you.

Hi there,

Thank you for reaching out. For me to proceed further, would you be able to provide us with additional information like your Ad Unit ID, the type of ads you're serving and a link to your app? Also, can you check if you're able to load ads with your Ad Unit ID using the sample apps

Regards,

Thank you for replying.

The Ad Unit ID is:ca-app-pub-2319059341478317/1267936187
It's BANNER ad. Currently only this ad unit is present in the app.
Yes, I did check the ad unit on the sample apps and they work perfectly fine.


I hope for a quick response. Thank you for the help.

Hello, 

Thank you for the additional details. I was not able to replicate the issue while testing your Ad Unit ID with our sample apps. This is more likely an issue with the package name being changed multiple times. I suggest that you contact the AdMob Product Support Team to get this resolved. Additionally, you can refer to this Stack Overflow post for your reference.
Let me know if you have any other concerns.

Regards,

Thank you for the reply.

I have contacted them, but they don't reply. Changing the package name shows the ads normally. But, with the current package name, the ads are not displayed. I presume the package name of my app has been blacklisted. The Support Team doesn't reply, it's been weeks.

Hello, 

This forum only deals with technical SDK related queries. If you've already contacted the Support channel, I suggest that you wait for few days and they will get back to you. You can also contact them by submitting this form.
