All of your requests made from your app’s UI or within ad inspector will appear in the SDK request log; your requests made from within ad inspector will be differentiated by being labeled with “Requested from ad inspector”. For these special requests you’ll be able to tap the “View” button one time to view the actual ad, see which network filled the slot, and more.

Alongside single ad source testing, these new testing features will allow you to rigorously test each individual ad network integration in your app.

To learn more about how to test your ads with ad inspector, check out our developer guides here:

• Android (AdMob | Ad Manager)
• iOS (AdMob | Ad Manager)
• Flutter (AdMob | Ad Manager)
• Unity (AdMob)
• C++ (AdMob)

If you have any questions or need additional help, please contact us via the developer forum.
