The ad id unit ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/3419835294 that is published on Google Admob page as test ad unit for App open, has changed to a rewarded, so all test implementations, including Admob test project on Github, are now not working.

Hi, I'm facing exactly the same issue.
Few days ago, the test ads (AppOpen) suddenly stopped working, and I receive Error code 3.
Note that the production ads are working fine.

I have been having the same problem. Looks like they changed the test ad id for app open apps. The new id is "ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/9257395921", instead of "ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/3419835294"

Here is the list of test ad ids: https://developers.google.com/admob/android/test-ads

@NickelBuddy  Thanks a lot ! It seems like the adMob docs aren't synchronized and on some links they are still showing the old text IDs.
