Show test ads on real device

Question

This is my code:

let request = GADRequest()
request.testDevices = [kGADSimulatorID, "XXXX2F32d69CCA859FFB559D0FEA3CF6483D08A6"]
adView.load(request)

Where XXXX is my UDID of my iPhone. Why do I get real ads and not test ads on my iPhone? Test ads on the simulator works. Thank you. Tried the UDID in uppercase and lowercase.

This fixed it for me!

Product -> Scheme -> Arguments -> Environment Variables if there is a key: OS_ACTIVITY_MODE, disable/remove it.

I had the exact same situation and this worked for me, thank you! – Ten Nov 16 '22 at 02:15
Console when showing " GADMobileAds.sharedInstance().requestConfiguration.testDeviceIdentifiers = [ "your device" ]" just copy it to didFinishLaunchingWithOptions – Ten Nov 16 '22 at 02:31

As mentioned in admob guide

while running the app in device you get the below log

<Google> To get test ads on this device, call: request.testDevices = @[
@"2077ef9a63d2b398840261c8221a0c9b" ];

use that id instead of UDID.

Just tried it, not working. I do not get any log message. – J. Doe Apr 09 '17 at 12:47
Don't set any test devices and try to run on the device, you will get the log. – Sandeep P Apr 09 '17 at 12:52
did you remove the last build before testing new build on real device? – OurangZeb Khan Apr 13 '17 at 09:17
@SandeepP yes I did not set any test devices, ran it again, no print. And I completely removed the whole app and reinstalled it, still no print, but an ad appears. – J. Doe Apr 13 '17 at 16:13
If you are not getting the log then try to generate the ID by referring the link http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24760150/how-to-get-a-hashed-device-id-for-testing-admob-on-ios – Sandeep P Apr 14 '17 at 13:32

As I understood your, I concate your UDID and ID in the log. This is wrong.

You this - pure ID :

let request = GADRequest()
        request.testDevices = [kGADSimulatorID, "2F32d69CCA859FFB559D0FEA3CF6483D08A6"]
        adView.load(request)

I am sorry, I do not understand what you mean. The code is exact the same as I provided right? The XXXX was meant to be the beginning of the UDID. The rest of the code is the rest of the UDID. – J. Doe Apr 13 '17 at 14:00
I mean remove UDID : 'XXXX' in your code use just string that is shown in the log @J.Doe – Vyacheslav Apr 13 '17 at 18:04
I don't see any logs in my console, thats the problem – J. Doe Apr 13 '17 at 18:10
@J.Doe, just paste mine code, not yours. Do you see the difference? – Vyacheslav Apr 13 '17 at 20:17
Yes, you removed the first 4 charaters from my UDID (XXXX) – J. Doe Apr 14 '17 at 11:26
