Trying to retrieve ads from Google's Ad Manager , and while i have followed the official Mobile Ads SDK implemetation , i can not get these ads. To be more specific, when i send the ad request , i get the following object as answer:
{ "Code": 3, "Message": "No ad config.", "Domain": "com.google.android.gms.ads", "Cause": "null", "Response Info": { "Response ID": "null", "Mediation Adapter Class Name": "", "Adapter Responses": [] } }
What is weird about that is that when i am using AdMob ( instead of AdManager ) ,ads are served correctly. Also, i am referring to testing ads , as my app is not yet on production. Another important thing , is that when i am requesting test ads from AdManager, when i am using the AdManager's sample ad units, ads are served. But when i am setting my device as a testing device programmatically, and request ads from my own ad unit, the above error occur ( which, as i foretold is not the case for AdMob, as with AdMob i am getting ads in both these scenarios. The error indicates that i may have done something wrong when setting the ad units on the AdManager UI , but i really have followed the documentation step by step. What might be the problem ??
UPDATE : I have managed to get banner ads and native styles ads , but i still can not get native ads to use custom rendering or interstitials. I suspect that this might has to do with setting the ad unit's size. A prerequisite to make and ad request for banner ads or native styles ads , is to set a specific ad size from within the application's code, which is not the case for custom rendering or interstitial ads. However, inside AdManager UI , while i set the ad unit and try to get the ad unit id to use it inside the application's code, i have noticed the following small text: "You will need to include an ad unit size in your application code." This is not the case when someone wants to custom render native ads or to play interstitial ads ( meaning that the Mobile Ads SDK does not offer methods to set the ad unit size when making a request ). So , is it possible that Google has a bug , and despite the fact that i make a request for interstitial ads or native ads, it still require to set an ad unit size ?????
UPDATE 2 : As it seems, at least in my case, i can not receive testing ads from the ad unit i have set in Google Ad Manager ( for native ads ) by setting my device as a testing device using the mobile ads sdk , so in order to test the app, i made a testing campaign with my own assets to serve to my mobile app...
