You can enable test ads for one or more IDFAs/GAIDs programmatically in the AppLovin SDK.

NOTE: With test ads, AppLovin will not track enabled impressions, clicks, and revenue. You should only use such ads to test your app integration.

AppLovin SDK

Native Android

To enable test ads for a set of IDFAs, set the testDeviceAdvertisingIds property (part of the settings object of the SDK) to a list that includes the IDFAs. The following code snippets show how to do this in Java and Kotlin.

Java:

AppLovinSdk.getInstance(context).getSettings().setTestDeviceAdvertisingIds(Arrays.asList("YOUR_GAID_HERE"));

Kotlin:

AppLovinSdk.getInstance(context).settings.testDeviceAdvertisingIds = arrayListOf("YOUR_GAID_HERE")

Native iOS

To enable test ads for a set of IDFAs, set the testDeviceAdvertisingIds property (part of the settings object of the SDK) to an array that includes the IDFAs. The following code snippets show how to do this in Swift and Objective-C.

Swift:

ALSdk.shared()!.settings.testDeviceAdvertisingIdentifiers = ["YOUR_IDFA_HERE"]

Objective-C:

[ALSdk shared].settings.testDeviceAdvertisingIdentifiers = @[@"YOUR_IDFA_HERE"];

Unity (MAX Plugin)

If you use the AppLovin MAX Unity Plugin, enable test ads by providing an array of IDFAs to a method on the MaxSdk class:

MaxSdk.SetTestDeviceAdvertisingIdentifiers(new string[]{"YOUR_IDFA_HERE", "YOUR_GAID_HERE"});

Unity (AppLovin Plugin)

If you use the AppLovin network Unity Plugin, enable test ads by providing an array of IDFAs to a method on the AppLovin class:

AppLovin.SetTestDeviceAdvertisingIdentifiers(new string[]{"YOUR_IDFA_HERE", "YOUR_GAID_HERE"});

Troubleshooting

If you are not able to get test ads after following these steps, you might have an integration issue. Please follow the other steps in our support article titled “Why am I not seeing any ads?”.
