isTesting: true Not working

[bflopez]

I just switched over to this plugin and for some reason I cannot get the isTesting: true option to work for me. It displays real ads regardless. Am I doing something wrong?

AdMob.setOptions({
    publisherId: admobid,
     isTesting: true
  });      
AdMob.createBannerView();

Which platform are you using? Do you able to run the example?

@ratson This is on iOS 10. I see a message on the console that says request.testDevices: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX and then another message that says "To get test ads on this device, call: the same number as before except the letters in the number are no longer capital. Could this be a lowercase/uppercase issue?

It works as in it shows me real ads even when isTesting is set to TRUE. It just doesn't show me test ads when it should be. Hope this helps

Same situation for me. Here is my log output:

request.testDevices: 23A37F***D83FD05

<Google> To get test ads on this device, call: request.testDevices = @[ @"23a37f*****d83fd05" ];

So it can be as you suggested issue with lowercase/uppercase.

The ad is showing in the application, but it's definitely not a test ad. I've managed to fix the issue by changing the line https://github.com/ratson/cordova-plugin-admob-free/blob/master/src/ios/CDVAdMob.m#L413 to:

request.testDevices = @[ kGADSimulatorID, deviceId, [deviceId lowercaseString] ];

Does anyone know if it can impact the library in some "bad way"?
