The new setServerSideOptions is not working

[chinloyal]

I've upgraded to the latest version of this plugin (v2.3.0) and used the new setServerSideOptions setter, it does not seem to be triggering my cloud function for verifying rewards, it worked before on versions that didn't have setServerSideOptions.

I've also tried v2.1.0 none of them work.

This is the snippet of me trying to do so:

RewardedAd.load(
        adUnitId: AppAdmob.getRewardAdUnitId(unitId),
        request: AdRequest(),
        rewardedAdLoadCallback: RewardedAdLoadCallback(
          onAdLoaded: (ad) {
            final options = ServerSideVerificationOptions(
              userId: _authService.user!.uid,
            );

            ad.setServerSideOptions(options).then((value) {
              ad.show(onUserEarnedReward: (adWithoutView, reward) {
                log("Reward: ${reward.amount}");
              });
            });
          },
          onAdFailedToLoad: (loadAdError) {
            errorMessage = loadAdError.message;
          },
        ),
      );

Also there is no documentation on how to do this on the official docs https://developers.google.com/admob/flutter/quick-start. There's mo SSV section under advanced topics like for the Android/iOS SDKs

@chinloyal Can you describe more clearly how it doesn't work? From my end, I can see the reward info from callback after ads is shown:

I/flutter (14306): Reward: 10 - coins

Using sample code at https://github.com/googleads/googleads-mobile-flutter/tree/main/packages/google_mobile_ads/example and update snippet code as below:

Snippet sample code

```dart void _createRewardedAd() { RewardedAd.load( adUnitId: Platform.isAndroid ? 'ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/5224354917' : 'ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/1712485313', request: request, rewardedAdLoadCallback: RewardedAdLoadCallback( onAdLoaded: (RewardedAd ad) { print('$ad loaded.'); _rewardedAd = ad; _numRewardedLoadAttempts = 0; final options = ServerSideVerificationOptions( userId: '_authService.user!.uid', ); ad.setServerSideOptions(options).then((value) { ad.show(onUserEarnedReward: (adWithoutView, reward) { print("Reward: ${reward.amount} - ${reward.type}"); }); }); }, onAdFailedToLoad: (LoadAdError error) { print('RewardedAd failed to load: $error'); _rewardedAd = null; _numRewardedLoadAttempts += 1; if (_numRewardedLoadAttempts < maxFailedLoadAttempts) { _createRewardedAd(); } }, )); } ```

@huycozy Yes the onUserEarnedReward callback gets fired but my firebase cloud function is not being triggered to verify the ad view.

You can see below I've verified that it works on the admob portal:

[chinloyal]

Also for more context I reward the users using the firebase function in firestore not from the client. But that firebase function is no longer being triggered when I call setServerSideOptions, and so the user doesn't receive a reward after watching the ad

I've figured out why it's not working. In debug mode I was using the testRewardAdUnitId, instead of the production one. I tested using the production id, and it worked.
