AdRequest the right way

[Matheus Araujo]

I change the demo script and it works for me:

 using GoogleMobileAds.Api;
 …

    void Start(){

        RequestInterstitial();

    }

    private void RequestInterstitial()

    {

        #if UNITY_EDITOR

            string adUnitId = "unused";

         #elif UNITY_ANDROID

            string adUnitId = "ca-app-pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";

         #elif (UNITY_5 && UNITY_IOS) || UNITY_IPHONE

            string adUnitId = "INSERT_IOS_INTERSTITIAL_AD_UNIT_ID_HERE";

        #else

            string adUnitId = "unexpected_platform";

        #endif

        // Create an interstitial.

        interstitial = new InterstitialAd(adUnitId);

        // Load an interstitial ad.

        interstitial.LoadAd(createAdRequest());

    }

    private AdRequest createAdRequest()

    {

        return new AdRequest.Builder()

                .AddTestDevice(AdRequest.TestDeviceSimulator)

                .AddTestDevice("0123456789ABCDEF0123456789ABCDEF")

                .AddKeyword("game")

                .SetGender(Gender.Male)

                .SetBirthday(new DateTime(1985, 1, 1))

                .TagForChildDirectedTreatment(false)

                .AddExtra("color_bg", "9B30FF")

                .Build();

    }

   public void endGame(){

        if (interstitial.IsLoaded())

        {

            interstitial.Show();

        }

    }

Now I want to remove the test device to use that on real work, all I need to make is to change the method  createAdRequest() like this:

    private AdRequest createAdRequest()

    {

        return new AdRequest.Builder().Build();

    }

That will work? There is some arguments that I need to put on the AdRequest? If I need to change something can someone give me a example?

Thank's

Hi there,

Removing the AddTestDevice from your AdRequest Builder will stop serving test ads to your app.  However, doing that does not necessarily guarantee you will see live ads.  To get live ads, first you will create an ad unit ID on admob.com.  Then, plug it in correspondingly in your RequestInterstitial logic:

#if UNITY_EDITOR

string adUnitId = "unused";

#elif UNITY_ANDROID //if serving to an Android implementation

string adUnitId = "ca-app-pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";

#elif (UNITY_5 && UNITY_IOS) || UNITY_IPHONE //if serving to an iOS implementation

string adUnitId = "INSERT_IOS_INTERSTITIAL_AD_UNIT_ID_HERE";

#else

string adUnitId = "unexpected_platform";

#endif

I alredy created an ad unit ID and put it on rigth place. I need to do something else?

Hi Matheus

That should be all you need to do to serve live ads.

Are you running into any issues?  Do you have logs (console, Charles), ad unit ID, et al. if so?
