I am getting errors when I test real ads on my app on iOS devices. If I set the device as test device the test ad shows properly. This is the error I get when I test the real ads:
" onAdFailedToLoad Request error no ad to show "

I would like to add this information:
- My admob account is verified (already received payments from Android apps)
- On android the ads work correctly
- The app ID and the ad unit ID are correct.
- The app is still not published in App Store
- Any type of ads is working (banner, interestitial, rewarded video)

Thank you very much.

Hi Momos,

Thank you for bringing this question to our attention. First I would suggest that when testing, always make sure you have it in Test Mode. Otherwise you run the risk of being flagged for invalid traffic. The second part of this is that you are not receiving live ads. This would be expected if you are calling for a live ad that is on a non released app. You will need to publish the app, get it linked to your Admob and then have ads served to it.

if you want to get live ads, make sure that you have your device programmatically setup as a test device.

Hi Momos,

I am a developer with the same problem. Please tell me if you have solved the problem. If so, how did you resolve? I can not solve this issue for long time. Would be grateful for your help!

I have solved it just waiting... I had to wait 3/4 days and my app finally appeared to link it with admob. When the app was linked it started showing real ads.
I hope it helps.  :)
