Nativescript-plugin-firebase: ads not showing up

Created on 24 Feb 2018 · 4Comments · Source: EddyVerbruggen/nativescript-plugin-firebase

I have followed all instructions as mentioned in the document. I do not see any ads even though there is no error shown. However interesting point is that i don't get the console message for success as well. Just see the message that my device is added as a Test Device. Is there anything to be done. What am i may be missing. Here is my code.

`import { Injectable } from "@angular/core";
import firebase = require("nativescript-plugin-firebase");
import { Message } from "nativescript-plugin-firebase";
import * as dialogs from "ui/dialogs";

@Injectable()
export class FirebaseService {
public constructor() {
firebase.init({
onMessageReceivedCallback: (message: Message) => {
console.log(Title: ${message.title});
console.log(Body: ${message.body});
// if your server passed a custom property called 'foo', then do this:
console.log(Value of 'foo': ${message.data.foo});
},
onPushTokenReceivedCallback: function (token) {
console.log("Firebase push token: " + token);
// this.add(token);
}
}).then(
instance => {
console.log("firebase.init done");
},
error => {
console.log(firebase.init error: ${error});
}
);
}

public showBanner() {
    firebase.admob.showBanner({
        size: firebase.admob.AD_SIZE.SMART_BANNER, // see firebase.admob.AD_SIZE for all options
        margins: { // optional nr of device independent pixels from the top or bottom (don't set both)
            bottom: 10,
        },
        androidBannerId: "ca-app-pub-XXXXXXXXXXX/YYYYYY",
        testing: true // when not running in production set this to true, Google doesn't like it any other way
    }).then(
        function () {
            console.log("AdMob banner showing");
        },
        function (errorMessage) {
            console.log("Error - " + errorMessage);
            // dialogs.alert({
            //   title: "AdMob error",
            //   message: errorMessage,
            //   okButtonText: "Hmmkay"
            // });
        }
    );
}

public showInterstitial() {
    firebase.admob.showInterstitial({
        androidInterstitialId: "ca-app-pub-XXXXXXXXXXX/YYYYYY",
        testing: true // when not running in production set this to true, Google doesn't like it any other way
    }).then(
        function () {
            console.log("AdMob interstitial showing");
        },
        function (errorMessage) {
            console.log("Error - " + errorMessage);
        }
    );
}

}
`

I am inserting this service in my components and calling functions to show Banner and Interstitial ads. Does it require any permissions to be added to the androidmanifest file? Logs that i always get is

JS: Treating this deviceId as testdevice: 0F1D18B84D1XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXDD6
JS: Treating this deviceId as testdevice: 0F1D18B84D1XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXDD6

when i call showBanner and showInterstitial function
