Dear AdMob team,

 I'm experiencing an issue where ads aren't showing on my app with the Package Application-Id "com.hindi.english.translate". I haven't received any policy violation notices either. However, when I change the Package Application-Id to "com.example.english," the ads work perfectly fine. Could you please help me resolve this issue?

Package name:  com.hindi.english.translate
SDK version: implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:22.0.0'

I appreciate your help.
 Best regards,
 Vimal

Hi Vimal,

Thank you for your response.

I've checked this in our end using our sample app, and was able to replicate the reported behavior. Since this is specific to a package application id, let me share this to the wider team to further check. Rest assured that one of our team will reach out to you.

Hello Vimal,

Thanks for reaching out.

A few follow-ups:
  • Are you able to receive test ads when using the package ID `com.hindi.english.translate` after enabling test ads?
  • Can you provide a Charles log that captures the Google Mobile Ads ad requests?
  • Have you set up any mediation group(s) for the app with package ID `com.hindi.english.translate`?

Regards,
Joshua

The test ad as well as the original ad is not showing in the logcat for the package ID "com.hindi.english.translate". Error is showing in this image. However, if I change the package application-id to "com.example.test.ads" in the same code, the ads work perfectly fine. I have tried uploading the app to the Play Store thrice, but the same issue persists. I have also used the "mediation group," but the problem persists.

Hello Vimal,

Hello Vimal,


In your project's AndroidManifest.xml file, can you update the `APPLICATION_ID` with value `ca-app-pub-2650198364422513~2780435417` and see if ads can be served? You are currently using the AdMob test app's application ID.

Thanks!

Hi,

Tried changing the App ID you provided, but the ads are still not showing. This issue is happening with both Test ads and Admob Original ads. Can you check it from your side?

Hello Vimal,

Our team is now checking if any violation can be found at the package ID `com.hindi.english.translate`. If not, ads will be served.

In the meantime, you can read more about how you can prevent invalid activity.

I will get back to you through this thread as soon as there is an update.

Hello,

I have not received any policy violation or issue on my AdMob account, and my other apps are performing well with ads.

However, neither the "Test Ads" nor the "Original Ads" is displaying for this particular package ID `com.hindi.english.translate`.

When I changed the package name, the "Original Ads" and "Test Ads" started working well.

You can see in the image below that no policy violation or issue is being displayed.

I request you to please fix it asap.

Dear,

I am writing to follow up on the process status for the package ID "com.hindi.english.translate". I received an email from your team 2 days ago stating that you were checking for any violations before ads could be served, and I was wondering if there have been any updates since then.

I would greatly appreciate it if you could provide me with an update on the status of the process and let me know if there is anything I can do to assist.

Thank you for your time and attention, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Hi,

I apologize for causing any inconvenience. Please inform me of the estimated date by which the issue of the ads not appearing will be resolved.

My client has been asking me about this frequently, and if you could give me a specific date, I could let them know.

Please let me know if possible.

Hello Vimal,

For your app with package ID `com.hindi.english.translate`, there's a high density of ads which violates the `MORE ADS THAN CONTENT ` violation. Can you update your app to make sure that violation doesn't occur anymore?

Hi,


I would like to clarify that I have not violated any policies thus far. Moreover, I have observed that test and original ads are not displayed on the package ID `com.hindi.english.translate` provided, even though only 1 banner ad has been placed.

Hello Vimal,

For your app Fast Sentence Hindi to English in the production (not the GitHub test app you previously sent me), can you also ensure it doesn't have high density of ads which violates the MORE ADS THAN CONTENT violation?

Thanks!

I have only utilized one banner ad and one interstitial ad in my app. There is a plethora of content available within the app for users. 
However, the main issue is that test ads are not displaying.

Hello Vimal,

Do you also implement other ads in your app that are not from AdMob? The `MORE ADS THAN CONTENT` violation is applied when an app has high density of ads regardless of ad networks.

Hi,

I have mentioned before that a simple test ad is not appearing on the package ID "com.hindi.english.translate". Currently, I am unable to display ads from AdMob, so I have used ads from Facebook Meta. 

I have made several attempts to display AdMob's test ads, but they are still not showing up. 

Therefore, I have used Facebook Meta's ads until AdMob's test ads begin to show.

Hello Vimal,

Thanks for pinging this thread.

In your production app with the package ID `com.hindi.english.translate`, can you make sure there isn't a high density of Meta ads so that it doesn't violate `MORE ADS THAN CONTENT`?

Hi, 

Meta ads are working well. There is no violation of the 'MORE ADS THAN CONTENT' policy.

Only AdMob ads are not working since I built the app, neither "Test Ads nor Original ads". I have tried uploading it to the Play Store three times, but the ads are not being displayed.

And I started using Meta ads later on.

Thanks for reaching out.

A few followups from our team:
  • When testing, did you use the app or ad unit IDs from our testing account (that start with `ca-app-pub-3940256099942544`)?
  • Are you able to file an appeal via policy center in the AdMob UI?

Hi

I have already informed you earlier that the test ads, specifically the test unit "ca-app-pub-3940256099942544," and original unit are not being displayed. And I have already mentioned that there have been no policy violations from my account. 

If you're unable to assist, please let me know why you keep asking the same question repeatedly. It has been two months of asking the same thing repeatedly. Could you kindly provide a more efficient approach to address this issue?

Hello Vimal,

I asked that question because I would like to get a final confirmation of whether the policy violation has popped up in your account, so our team could work on next step accordingly.

That said, serving limited should now be removed in your account.

Thank you for your patience.

I have exactly the same problem.

I don't have any policy violations but Admob simply blocked ads on my bundle ID. when I change the bundle the ads appear.

and the support is horrible, they just keep sending the same messages and don't solve anything.

Not to mention that support with the product team is not possible because there is a bug in the contact form
