🐛 testDeviceId's are not working

testDeviceId’s are not working

Description I was trying to set my test device id with the requestConfiguration. For checking whether setup for testdevice is successful, I filtered logcat in android studio with setTestDeviceIds but it’s showing me the following log

2021-03-31 04:17:36.907 27185-27185/? I/Ads: Use RequestConfiguration.Builder().setTestDeviceIds(Arrays.asList("xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx")) to get test ads on this device.

So setting up for test device are not working and I can’t test with real ads. As I’m passing testDeviceId’s this log was supposed to not appear. You can see I’m passing testDeviceId’s for both in RequestConfiguration and bannerAd.

Steps to reproduce

Here is my main.dart file

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:google_mobile_ads/google_mobile_ads.dart';
import 'package:provider/provider.dart';
import 'package:us/global/theme/app_themes.dart';
import 'package:us/utils/ad_helper.dart';

void main() {
  WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();

  MobileAds.instance.initialize().then((InitializationStatus status) {
    print('Initialization done: ${status.adapterStatuses}');
    MobileAds.instance
        .updateRequestConfiguration(RequestConfiguration(
        testDeviceIds: AdHelper.allTestDevices));
  });


  runApp(
      MyApp()
  );
}


class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return ChangeNotifierProvider<ThemeChanger>(
      create: (_) => ThemeChanger(),
      child: new MaterialAppWithTheme(),
    );
  }
}

class MaterialAppWithTheme extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    final theme = Provider.of<ThemeChanger>(context);

    return MaterialApp(
      title: 'Const',
      debugShowCheckedModeBanner: false,
      theme: theme.getDarkTheme ? ThemeData.dark():ThemeData.light(),
      home: HomeScreen(),
    );
  }
}

class HomeScreen extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _HomeScreenState createState() => _HomeScreenState();
}

class _HomeScreenState extends State<HomeScreen> {

  static final AdRequest request = AdRequest(
    testDevices: AdHelper.allTestDevices,
  );

  BannerAd _bannerAdd;
  bool _isBannerAdLoaded = false;

  Future<InitializationStatus> _initGoogleMobileAds() {
    // TODO: Initialize Google Mobile Ads SDK
    return MobileAds.instance.initialize();
  }

  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();


    _bannerAdd = BannerAd(
      adUnitId: AdHelper.homePageBannerAd,
      size: AdSize.banner,
      request: request,
      listener: AdListener(
        onAdLoaded: (_) {  // Future<SharedPrefData> _setDarkMode(bool darkMode) async{
          //   SharedPreferences prefs = await SharedPreferences.getInstance();
          //   log.i('Current dark mode  $darkMode.');
          //   await prefs.setBool('darkmode', darkMode);
          //   log.i('Dark mode toggled successfully');
          //   return await getPersistedData();
          // }
          setState(() {
            _isBannerAdLoaded = true;
          });
        },
        onAdFailedToLoad: (ad, error) {
          // Releases an ad resource when it fails to load
          ad.dispose();

          print('Ad load failed (code=${error.code} message=${error.message})');
        },
      ),
    );

    _bannerAdd.load();

  }
  

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {

    //this gonna give us total height and with of our device
    return Scaffold(
      // bottomNavigationBar: BottomNavBar(),
      body: Stack(
        children: <Widget>[
          SafeArea(
            child: Padding(
              padding: const EdgeInsets.symmetric(horizontal: 20),
              child: Column(
                crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.start,
                children: <Widget>[
                  this._isBannerAdLoaded? Container(
                    margin: EdgeInsets.only(bottom: 35),
                    height: 72.0,
                    alignment: Alignment.center,
                    child: AdWidget(ad: _bannerAdd),
                  ):Text('')
                ],
              ),
            ),
          )
        ],
      ),
    );
  }
}

Here is my adhelper.dart file

import 'dart:io';

class AdHelper{

  static String TEST_BANNER_AD = "ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/6300978111";

 static String get homePageBannerAd{
   if(Platform.isAndroid){
     return TEST_BANNER_AD;
   }
   else if(Platform.isIOS){
     return TEST_BANNER_AD;
   }
   else
     throw new UnsupportedError("Platform is not supported..");
 }

 static List<String> get allTestDevices{

       String MY_REDMI_NOTE_9="xxxxxxxxxxx";


   return [MY_REDMI_NOTE_9];
  }

}

Expected behavior

It shouldn’t show me this log as I’m setting testDeviceId’s

[akinsho]

@ShahrearBinAmin I reversed the order of the request and that seemed to have worked i.e. I called updateRequestConfiguration before initialisation and that seems to have worked. Granted it doesn’t seem particularly intuitive that way.

[timothyhoang-google]

@ShahrearBinAmin, does the solution @jjliu15 mentioned above resolve your issue? If not, could you respond by the end of next week 09/17/21? Otherwise, we’ll close this issue. Thank you!
