Basically, what I would expect with this:

    final adManagerAdRequest = AdManagerAdRequest(
      customTargeting: {
        'appversion': '0.0.1',
      },
    );

      _ad = AdManagerBannerAd(
        adUnitId: widget.adUnitId ??
            (widget.isIos
                ? BannerAdContent.iosTestUnitAd
                : BannerAdContent.androidTestUnitId),
        request: adManagerAdRequest,
        sizes: [AdSize.mediumRectangle],
        listener: AdManagerBannerAdListener(
          onAdLoaded: _onAdLoaded,
          onAdFailedToLoad: (_, error) {
            if (mounted) setState(() => _adFailedToLoad = true);
          },
        ),
      )..load(),

Would be a urlParam called cust_params with appversion key and value as 0.0.1, but It’s not working, do you have any idea why?

Hi @eliasreis54, by any chance is BannerAdContent.androidTestUnitId an Admob ad unit? Does it look like ca-app-pub-…? I think what’s happening is that cust_params is not included for admob ad units, since it’s an ad manager feature.

I tried updating the AdManager banner example from the example app and was able to see custom_params in the ad request from debug logs:

However after changing the ad unit to an admob ad unit it looks like cust_params is no longer in the ad request.

@huycozy in your example it also looks like an admob ad unit. If you change the ad unit to /6499/example/banner you should see cust_params appear as well. Separately, we should probably update the inline adaptive example to use an ad manager ad unit to avoid confusion.
