I have checked and double-checked that all of my Admob ad unit IDs and App ID are my own and not the demo test IDs.  Upon submitting to App Store Review they reject it because it contains test ads.  Using the GMA SDK in Unity to build for IOS.  Anyone have any idea why this is?

Hi Paul,

Some of the developers also reported this behavior, and as per checking, they've forgot to remove the code for enabling test devices. Please make sure that you removed this as well as it will show a production-like ads on your app with a "test mode" label in it.

I never set up any device as a test device in the first place.  Further, when the app was live in the store it seemed to display real, non-test banner ads but my rewarded ads were clearly in test mode with the label in everything.  I am using the Unity editor with the SDK.  By any chance does Unity automatically configure it in test mode?  I cannot understand why else it would happen.

Hello Paul,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

I work with Teejay and will be assisting you on this. Kindly note that iOS simulators are automatically configured as test devices. Can you confirm if you are testing your ads on your actual device? If yes, have you already enabled your device as a test device? In addition to that, kindly avoid testing your actual ad unit ids to avoid the invalid traffic. For us to further investigate this, could you please provide the following details via Reply privately to author option or send it directly to mobileads...@gmail.com? Kindly inform us on this thread if you sent it directly to the email provided.
