IOS Swift - Search Ad API requestAttributionDetails Just returns Nil

im trying to uses Apples Search Ad api to return the ad data to the app so I can record it. The first attempt produced Apples default data,the next day im getting nil returned on all attributes.

would this have something to do with it? iadAttribution = false

Im testing on a few devices, one has been updated to the latest IOS, All produce the same result.

Please Not the app is not live yet, and im using testing devices!

Any ideas why its returning nil instead of the default data?

Iv been following this tutorial http://www.nikola-breznjak.com/blog/ios/create-native-ios-app-can-read-search-ads-attribution-api-information/

override func loadView() {
        super.loadView()
        getSearchAdsInfo()
    }

 func getSearchAdsInfo(){
    ADClient.shared().requestAttributionDetails({ (attributionDetails, error) in
                if error == nil {
                    for (type, adDictionary) in attributionDetails! {
                        var attribution = adDictionary as? Dictionary<AnyHashable, Any>;
                        let params = [
                            "deviceID": self.appData.deviceInfo,
                            "appID": "self.appData.appID",
                            "iadAdgroupId": attribution?["iad-adgroup-id"] as? String as Any,
                            "iadAdgroupName": attribution?["iad-adgroup-name"] as? String as Any,
                            "iadAttribution": attribution?["iad-attribution"] as? String  as Any,
                            "iadCampaignId": attribution?["iad-campaign-id"] as? String as Any,
                            "iadCampaignName": attribution?["iad-campaign-name"] as? String as Any,
                            "iadClickDate": attribution?["iad-click-date"] as? String as Any,
                            "iadConversionDate": attribution?["iad-conversion-date"] as? String as Any,
                            "iadCreativeId": attribution?["iad-creative-id"] as? String as Any,
                            "iadCreativeName": attribution?["iad-creative-name"] as? String as Any,
                            "iadKeyword": attribution?["iad-keyword"] as? String as Any,
                            "iadLineitemId": attribution?["iad-lineitem-id"] as? String as Any,
                            "iadLineitemName": attribution?["iad-lineitem-name"] as? String as Any,
                            "iadOrgName": attribution?["iad-org-name"] as? String as Any

                            ]
                      print(params)
                    }
                }
            })
}

And the result

    ["iadCampaignName": nil, 
    "iadLineitemName": nil, 
    "iadCreativeId": nil, 
    "iadOrgName": nil, 
    "iadConversionDate": nil, 
    "iadAdgroupName": nil, 
    "iadClickDate": nil, 
    "iadCreativeName": nil, 
    "iadLineitemId": nil, 
    "iadCampaignId": nil, 
    "iadKeyword": nil, 
    "iadAdgroupId": nil, 
    "iadAttribution": Optional("false")]

and print(attributionDetails) produces the following

Optional(["Version3.1": {
    "iad-attribution" = false;
}])

What worked for me is getting Simulator for iOS version 10.2. With this version dummy data is coming through. I got this:

`Optional([AnyHashable("Version3.1"): {
    "iad-adgroup-id" = 1234567890;
    "iad-adgroup-name" = AdGroupName;
    "iad-attribution" = true;
    "iad-campaign-id" = 1234567890;
    "iad-campaign-name" = CampaignName;
    "iad-click-date" = "2018-06-12T14:56:14Z";
    "iad-conversion-date" = "2018-06-12T14:56:14Z";
    "iad-creative-id" = 1234567890;
    "iad-creative-name" = CreativeName;
    "iad-keyword" = Keyword;
    "iad-lineitem-id" = 1234567890;
    "iad-lineitem-name" = LineName;
    "iad-org-name" = OrgName;
}])

It appears dummy data is not sent in the latest iOS version (in my case 11.4)
