Android Admob error : Failed to load ad:0 HTTP response code: 403


I have integrated admob banner ads as per following steps of admob documentation.

I am getting test ads with emulator. And also getting ads using below instructions.

AdRequest.Builder.addTestDevice("F3F05FA129EF5A4FEEF9DCC4F3A96936") 

If i run application using release build configuration getting error below error logs.

Is there any issue with admob bita account ? (https://apps.admob.com/v2/home?pli=1)


Solution

  • Finally, I got my answer from google forum.

    https://groups.google.com/d/msg/google-admob-ads-sdk/dQjjRAdaPrE/Sb-fXslHBwAJ

    In my case, its something that Google AdMob has blocked my package name and after changing the package name its worked fine with me.
