Get AdMob test device ids for both iOS and Android in Flutter project

Question

I am trying to use my own/REAL AdUnits instead of the TestAdUnits but I have no idea where to get the Test Device Ids for my iOS and Android devices.

Docs say to look at the logs to locate the test id, but I have inspected everything that gets printed to the console and it does not print either of the devices test ids.

I am building and running my project in VS Code

Solution

After a while of looking through logs, I realized there are some missing steps in Flutter's package explanation.

First, Firebase needs to be linked to you AdMob app, AND you need to re-download the GoogleService-Info.plist file for iOS and the google-services.json for Android.

After that, in iOS you need to go into Settings -> Privacy -> Advertising and disable Limit Ad Tracking. This will allow for the ID to be printed.

Hi, its helpful for me, but I have still one doubt. I didn't link admob to firebase but I can see admob works. Can you please tell me why we need to link to firebase? Thank you so much.
