How to find Facebook Device Hash ID for Testing #15

Open jason-engage opened 9 years ago

jason-engage commented 9 years ago

Hi, I had the FacebookAds plugin working for a couple of days on my test app. I used a random series of number and letters for the 'adId' and set 'isTesting:true'. However I tend to rebuild my app in Xcode alot and now I'm receiving 'error 1002,Ad was re-loaded too frequently' in the console and the facebook ads won't show anymore. There are also server error 2000 in the console.

I've tried changing the adId to something else but that doesn't work. I don't have any official banner id from facebook audience network since I have to submit my app store links, which I do not yet have.

I noticed that I didn't have a deviceHash set, maybe that would prevent issues while I test my app. However, how do I find the device hash? Do I set deviceHash: device.uuid?

Does anyone have a solution for easily testing facebookads on ios (and android), without applying for and setting up their Facebook audience network?

Best way is keep an eye on the logs. The SDK will automatically post this:

D/AdSettings﹕ When testing your app with Facebook's ad units you must specify the device hashed ID to ensure the delivery of test ads, add the following code before loading an ad: AdSettings.addTestDevice("12345678901234567890");

@manuelpaulo Can you walk me thru the steps to get there? I don't have the facebook SDK. I'm using javascript cordova to build and Xcode to run on my device. Which log file do I find it in? What's the path?

Create a cordova project and add the FacebookAds plugin. Run on xcode or android studio targeting your device and keep an eye on the log window below. You will notice a message with the correct hashtag of your device.

Also, the 2000 error is related to your own app id. Be sure it is correct and approved by FB. The id on the demo code of the FB Ads plugin used to work, but not any longer.

@manuelpaulo Thanks, but I don't see any facebook ads log entries in my Xcode 6.4 console, as I start up the app on my device. There are a few entries that I'll paste below. I do not have an approved FB app id. It seems to require an app store link, which I do not yet have, because my app is not yet submitted to an app store. I was hoping to test FB ads before submitting.

It seems that the facebookads plugin correctly, so you will not see any log from it.
