Facebook audience bidding is not working: bundle status is invalid

I have a react native application on IOS, and I implemented Facebook Audience Network Bidding with Admob.

Everything looks fine; bidding requests are being sent from Admob to Facebook. But Facebook is barely responding to bid requests.

When I use the debugger, there is an error called "Bundle status is invalid" with zero documentation on the internet.

I can see test ads without any problems. I used the Ad Inspector to validate everything, and it looks fine. But production users are not able to see any Facebook ads.

SDK versions:

  • FBAudienceNetwork 6.2.1
  • Google-Mobile-Ads-SDK 7.69.0
  • GoogleMobileAdsMediationFacebook 6.2.1.0
  • GoogleMobileAdsMediationTestSuite 1.4.0

Is there any knowledge about this problem and what is "Bundle status is invalid"?

Solution

  • After trying lots of solutions, I think I found out the reason.

    The problem was missing tax information.

    Step by step solution

    1. Go to monetization manager
    2. Click payouts
    3. Select your payment account
    4. Click edit account
    5. It should navigate you to the organization management page.
    6. Click to payout settings
    7. Now, you will see the missing tax information and an update button.
    8. Download your appropriate tax form from here
    9. Complete the form, print it, sign it then scan it.
    10. Upload the completed form using the update button.
    11. After few hours, it should work and you can see the "Bundle status is invalid" is gone from the debugger.
