Test creative types

The Google Mobile Ads SDK provides an API that lets you specify a creative type for test queries. When the parameter is set, only creatives of the specified type are retrieved and rendered.

Usage

To specify a creative type, include the ft_ctype parameter in an extras object and pass it to the ad request. This may restrict which ads are available and result in no fill.

let extras = GADExtras()
extras.additionalParameters = ["ft_ctype": "video_app_install"]

let request = GAMRequest()
request.register(extras)

GADExtras *extras = [[GADExtras alloc] init];
extras.additionalParameters = @{@"ft_ctype" : @"video_app_install"};

GAMRequest *request = [GAMRequest request];
[request registerAdNetworkExtras:extras];

The following table lists the valid values for ft_ctype:

This feature impacts Google ads only. If your ad unit enables mediation, ads returned from third-party ad sources don't respect the ft_ctype parameter. We recommend testing with an ad unit that doesn't have mediation enabled.
