Identify the test device for Admob

I use the code below:

let request : GADRequest = GADRequest ()

request.testDevices = ["xxxxxxx",kGADSimulatorID]

But I am getting the below warning:

'testDevices' is deprecated: Use GADMobileAds.sharedInstance.requestConfiguration.testDeviceIdentifiers.

Do I use a syntax to remove the warning?

googleAds sdk site answers differently, You have to copy the id that has been logged:

(https://developers.google.com/admob/ios/test-ads)

...Load your ads-integrated app and make an ad request. Check the console for a message that looks like this:

To get test ads on this device, set:

GADMobileAds.sharedInstance.requestConfiguration.testDeviceIdentifiers =
@[ @"2077ef9a63d2b398840261c8221a0c9b" ];

Swift Solution

Works with disabled app tracking. Without any external dependencies.

import CryptoKit


var deviceId = ASIdentifierManager.shared().advertisingIdentifier.uuidString
if deviceId == UUID(0).uuidString {
  deviceId = UIDevice.current.identifierForVendor?.uuidString ?? ""
}

let md5 = Insecure.MD5.hash(data: Data(deviceId.utf8))
    .map { String(format: "%02hhx", $0) }.joined()
GADMobileAds.sharedInstance().requestConfiguration.testDeviceIdentifiers = [ md5 ]

This is a modification to 10623169's answer.

To get a valid ID, for the current device, that can be set in "testDevices", get the MD5 of this: UIDevice.current.identifierForVendor?.uuidString

The asIdentifier value can be completely invalid if the user hasn't given permission for tracking. But the UIDevice.current.identifierForVendor is a valid UUID for the app, that will persist across launches (but perhaps not if you delete the app and reinstall).

Swift Solution

It turns out the AdMob/GoogleAdManager deviceId can be found by computing the MD5 of the advertisingIdentifier. This way you can retrieve and use the test deviceId in code without having to previously have got a device's identifier from the console log.

To avoid the faff of using an ObjC-Swift bridging header (getting MD5 via <CommonCrypto/CommonCrypto.h>), I'd suggest using a Swift wrapper around the CommonCrypto framework, e.g this one:

Using the above framework (which adds an extension property to String for computing the MD5 hash), it is a simple matter of querying against:

GADMobileAds.sharedInstance().requestConfiguration.testDeviceIdentifiers ?? []).contains(ASIdentifierManager.shared().advertisingIdentifier.uuidString.md5)

You should use this: 

GADMobileAds.sharedInstance().requestConfiguration.testDeviceIdentifiers = ["YOUR IDENTIFIER PRINTED ON DEBUGGER"]

Instead of:

request.testDevices = ["YOUR IDENTIFIER PRINTED ON DEBUGGER"]

You don't have to set this at all. As the AdMob Developer Doc says:

iOS simulators are automatically configured as test devices.
