live test ad only showing the first time consent is accepted #294

Closed mledwards closed 8 months ago

Hello, thanks for all your work on a great plugin!

I've just got to the point of testing live test ads with the code below. And I've added the GDPR / consent message via Google AdMob privacy and messaging.

In android simulator the consent window comes up, and once accepted the banner shows at the bottom of the game. But if I restart the app / device in any way, the consent window doesn't show up (which is what I would expected), but the ad doesn't appear.

Logcat shows: Ad failed to load : 3

Any ideas what this could be? And whether it will persist in production?

I was wondering if it's something to do with the code example here: https://github.com/capacitor-community/admob#user-message-platform-ump, it doesn't look like it's adding much compared to the initialize() code example that I used, so I didn't change anything in particular.

await AdMob.initialize({
    initializeForTesting: true,
    testingDevices: ["MY_DEVICE_ID_HERE"],
});

That is an Admob error. "No fill".

If your app is not published yet you will never get fill for real ads. Even for testing.

Hi @distante, the ads worked on production. But only on accept of the consent for on the android simulator. I'll keep digging, see what comes up.

If you use testing ads (not real ads for testing devices) it would always come.

Yeah, that worked, but not real ads for testing devices, via initializeTesting
