Override-enable Test Mode

To test your Audience Network implementation, you can override all set-ups by sending test mode as true. This option allows you to test ads on your physical and simulator devices before releasing your app to the public. This approach allows you to test any type of ad. To be able to see a test ad, you will need to send both bid request and ad request with test mode as true.

Requirements

To enable test override features, ensure that both bid request and ad requests are sent in test mode, this will override the rest of the signals and show a test ad. This is available through real devices and simulators as outlined below:

• Setting test:1 in the bid request
• Additionally, you must enable test mode in your SDK code during ad loading.
• This applies to both Android and iOS platforms

Integrations through Mediation Partners

When integrating through Mediation Partners, you will need to go through the partner’s testing methods and turn test mode on. Here are a few examples of a few partner’s testing tools:

Unity / IronSource

• LevelPlay Integration Test Suite
• Android Test Suite
• iOS Test Suite

Google Ad Manager

• Android Ad Inspector - test ad units
• Android enable test devices
• iOS Ad Inspector - test ad units
• iOS enable test devices

Google AdMob

• Android Ad Inspector - test ad units
• Android enable test devices
• iOS Ad inspector - test ads units
• iOS enable test ads

Applovin

• Enable test mode

Adobe Air

• Android Test Mode
• iOS Test Mode

Direct Bidding Integrations

For direct bidding integrations, not done through a mediation platform, you should send the test mode setting in the bid request test=1 where 0 = live mode, 1 = test mode

AN SDK Changes

For the test ad to be shown, the test mode should be sent in the bid request as well as the ad request. Any inconsistencies between the calls will result in a no fill. The SDK changes need to be reviewed for all type of integrations (direct or through Mediation Partners).

Enable Test Mode on SDK side - Android

If you are integrating with a Mediation Partner on Android, the AN SDK will be downloaded as part of the adapter package. Make sure the following class is imported:

import com.facebook.ads.AdSettings;

Once the class is imported, use either of the following methods from the SDK before loading the ad, there are 2 methods to achieve this:

Enable test mode globally

AdSettings.setTestMode(true);

After you have finished testing, you should clear the test device setting using this line of code:

AdSettings.clearTestDevices();

Enable Test Mode on SDK side - iOS

If you are integrating with a Mediation Partner on iOS, the AN SDK will be downloaded as part of the adapter package. Make sure the following class is imported:

#import <FBAudienceNetwork/FBAdSettings.h>

Use the following method from the SDK before loading the ad:

[FBAdSettings addTestDevice:[FBAdSettings testDeviceHash]];

For more information on how to set test devices consult the Test Your Implementation on a Test Device section.

After you have finished testing, you should clear the test device setting. Sample code:

[FBAdSettings clearTestDevice:[FBAdSettings testDeviceHash]];
