I'm implementing native ads from AdMob, but it's not going well and I have a few general questions:
1) Are native ads from AdMob still in closed beta? If yes, is there a date when it will be open for the public?
2) If it's stil in beta, where do I have to register to become part of the beta-crew and how likely is it, that they accept me?
3) What are these Native Ad Templates? What part of the ad is "templated" since the ads themselves are given by AdMob. Since my native ads dont work yet, I'm kinda confused here.
4) In the AdMob account they talk about "mediating ad networks". Anybody experience with that? When does it make sense to have extra mediator networks instead of just letting AdMob send the ads?

I assessed to Admob => Add Unit.
Just only three options showed me: Banner, interstitial, and rewarded
But in https://developers.google.com/admob/android/native-unified
they show me two more ad formats are Native Ads Advanced (Unified) and Native Ads Advanced
They also showed the ID in there content but I don't know that it's mine or not
I am so sorry if it's kind of a stupid question but I have no idea and I need your help. Thank you !
As you can see on top of the page linked, it says:
Native Ads Advanced is currently released to a limited set of
publishers. If you're interested in participating, reach out to your
account manager to discuss the possibility.
Native Ads are only available as Ad Units, if the feature is unlocked for you by an account manager. I am facing the same problem and Google seems to be very strict, when deciding who to add to the "limited set of publishers".
A sample for a google group, where this has been demanded:

I have implemented advance native ads in my Android application.
Now, I want to take them live but cannot get them to work with my native app unit id. I am guessing it's because that can only be used for express ads.
How can I get an advance ad unit id?
Native Ads Advanced are in a closed beta right now. From Native Ads Advanced:
This feature is currently in a limited beta release. If you are
interested in participating, reach out to your account manager to
discuss the possibility. This feature will be made available to all
publishers at the conclusion of the beta.
You need to contact AdMob if you'd like to participate in the beta.
I just finished my app, a tool that you use for about 5min and then export, so I have considered to show a video ad before each exportation. The debate begins here, which ad company is better? I like Admob because I have other apps with banners and it's very confortable to have all I need in one web.
But I read that Admob is not the better one and I've heard too that with interstitial video ads you get the same revenues that with interstitial image ads, it's that true?
Thanks in advance
Don't choose now.
Pick 3 contenders. Deploy you app with the SDK for all 3, and use mediation (such as Admob's) in order to flick between them. Then you can try all 3 by switching between them using the mediation web console without needing to redeploy.
I suspect you will want more than one anyway as they don't always have ads available in all regions at all times, so you are going to want to use mediation anyhow.
And don't ask which 3 - that is not a question for this site.
Today and I don't know how (And I actually I don't care) my AdMob account has been suspended for a month, it was a long email to share, but somehow I felt like I'm a thug or criminal who want to steal their money (Which was less than a dollar as my app just got published a couple of days ago), perhaps there was a mistake from my side (The only thing comes in my mind that I may forgot to disable the live Ads while testing my code today as a result of publishing an update that fixes a bug).
Anyway, they will not serve me any Ads for a month, and as there was no even a warning and no appealing, I'm considering to use Amazon Ads in my app.
My question is,
1- Is it easy to implement an Amazon ad banner in my code?
2- Do I have to publish my application on Amazon App Store too?
3- Is there a step by step guide to implement Amazon ad in my code?
Thank you :)
1- Is it easy to implement an Amazon ad banner in my code?
Totally depends on your expertise level. But, even if you are moderately comfortable with android development and have worked on integration with other ad networks it should not be hard at all.
2- Do I have to publish my application on Amazon App Store too?
No, but it is recommended to do so. What the harm in having an additional distribution channel? It will only do you good by bringing in more downloads.
The getting started page clearly states this: Submit your app to the Amazon Appstore, Google Play, **or** another app distribution framework. Hence publishing on Amazon is not a mandate.
You will have to sign the MOBILE AD NETWORK PUBLISHER AGREEMENT
3- Is there a step by step guide to implement Amazon ad in my code?
Yes, refer the official documentation here
These FAQs will help you better understand each of the points you've put in your question.
And why only amazon as an alternative? You have a whole lot of other options.
I have integrated admob ads into my app on iOS and Android, they were working on both platforms during testing. I was not requesting test ads though and have read that admob may suspend your account/ads if you are clicking on live ads during testing?
I would not have overdone it, a click through here and there...
Could this be the problem? The ads still work fine on the android version of the app and I have one interstitial ad in the app which is actually still clickable on the iOS version of the app.
Has anyone faced these issues before? I have tried contacting admob about the problem but I am still waiting for a response.
I am hoping someone has so information about this because the results I get from google won't help me solve this
This will happen if your code requests a new ad before the first one has closed.
You will receive an email when you are suspended.
Do use test ads when you test, or you will be suspended. I speak from my own experience, in both cases.
