Hello there, I have banner and interstitial ads on my unity game, when i test in in windows i can see the debug ads (the white box at the bottom) :

However when I run my app on an real android hardware none of the ads show up. Is this a known issue? what should I do?

Ah sorry, I'm new into this groups thingy. I accidentally send it you spesifically. Let me try that again.

Hello, thank you for your interest. I didn't know about demo ad units. I unfortunately can not get the error codes since I can't connect my phone to my pc.

Hi Umut,

Thank you for your response.

The demo ad units for banner is "ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/6300978111" and interstitial is "ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/1033173712", can you confirm if you're using this two sample ad unit id in your implementation? If this is not what you're using, then you are using your real ad unit ids. With that, can you provide us your app id and ad unit id privately? The sample app id that we need is look like this "ca-app-pub-3940256099942544~3347511713". You can provide the following details via Reply privately to author option.

Hello, for 2 days I'm not able to reach my main computer. So i can't try the test ID's however I'll send you my ID's so that we can see if there is a problem with those. Plus to that I started to have problems with admob as well. It says my account is duplicate. But doesn't say duplicate of which account so I don't have any ideas on there either.

Hello again, I sent you my codes and I'm finally at my production pc. Did you find anything wrong with the codes?

Hi Umut,

Thank you for providing your ad unit id privately. 

Upon checking your ad unit id in our sample app, I was able to encounter the ad failed to load 3. This is happening when the ad request was successful, but no ad was returned due to lack of ad inventory. With that, can you provide us privately the previously requested app id so that we can further check this in our end? The sample app id that we need is look like this "ca-app-pub-3940256099942544~3347511713". You can provide the following details via Reply privately to author option.

Sorry about that, I completely forgot that part. I send the code privately.
