How to get admob mediation working with iad

[Jump roo]

I'm trying to implement admob mediation using admob and iads. Currently I'm only getting admob [test] ads. I have separately implemented iads and have successfully received test iads. I've also enabled iads via itunesconnect. However I'm not receiving any [test] iads from the admob implementation. I've already setup mediation through admob's web interface. I also added the libAdapterIAd.a into my project. I don't see any warning or error messages. How can i get iads working with admob mediation? Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately, test ads don't go through the mediation flow. You'd have to turn off test mode to have mediation request an iAd. I'm not sure if iAd will fill during development builds though. In production, you should be able to get iAds if you have the adapter, include iAd.framework in your project, and are all set up with iTunes connect.

Thanks,

Thank you for your reply. Is there any way that I can verify I've done everything necessary so that iads will fill after my app has been submitted? I've included the adapter, included iAd.framework and setup in itunesconnect as you said.

From the iAd testing guide (https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/iAd_Guide/TestingiAdApplications/TestingiAdApplications.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40009881-CH6-SW1), you should get test ads for any request coming from a developer build. I would recommend commenting out testDevices when making the AdMob request, and configuring iAd to serve first in your mediation flow. iAd should get the request first, and fill it with a test iAd if everything is working correctly.

Thanks,
