How to test AdMob before publishing application to Google Play? - android

I followed this document to integrate the AdMob to my application.The testing banner is shown correctly. My question is where should I get my own banner_ad_unit_id before I publish the app to Google play?
P.S.: I have an AdMob account and my application is published as beta version to Google Play already. But when I was trying to create ad banner in AdMob, it required me to search the application in Google Play.

After searching and linking the app in your AdMob account, you should be able to go to the ad unit management page and copy your ad unit id. It is right under the description for the banner.

Actually when you create ad banner, there is an option called "add your app manually" and you can use that to add your app.

How and where to implement AdMob App Id in unity project?

I am a learner and i am working in unity and testing all the features. Now i want to add ads in my project using adMob but the problem is AdMob has provided me an App Id and i don't know how and where to Implement it... I know what's Ad Unit Id but this App ID i am not getting it... I have gone through so many tutorials on you tube but in some video tutorials(a year older) they are not getting any APP ID and in some video(newer ones) they are not at all talking about APP ID and just working with only Ad Unit Id.
I am getting some id's like this
Complete the instructions in the Google Mobile Ads SDK guide using this app ID:
spinaroundca-app-pub-8xxxxx63xxxxxxx8~99xxxxxxxx
Follow the banner implementation guide to integrate the SDK. You'll specify ad type, size, and placement when you integrate the code using this ad unit ID:
bannnerca-app-pub-8xxxxxxx7xxxxxx8/32xxxxxxxx
Review the AdMob policies to ensure your implementation complies.
In the menu goto Assets=>Google Mobile Ads->Settings
There's a textbox in the inspector where you paste the AppId

Linking AdMob to Google Play created a new app

I've created a new app in AdMob dashboard to integrate ads on my Android app before I publish it in Google Play Store and linked it to Firebase as well.
After publishing my app to Google Play Store, I've waited 48 hours for the indexing to be able to link my AdMob to my app in Google Play Store.
So I linked my app to from Google Play to AdMob but AdMob created a new app instead of actually just linking my existing AdMob app to my Google Play Store app.
So my question is
how do I actually just link my existing AdMob app to my Google Play Store App?
I want to avoid recreating all my ad units and re-link everything and publish an update on Google Play Store.
Follow up questions:
Does linking your Play Store app to AdMob has always been like this?
Do I really need to link my Google Play Store app to my AdMob?
What are the complications / benefits of linking my AdMob to my Google Play Store app?
What action can you recommend for this situation?
Thank you.

mopub for private ads publishing

I have an android app and i would like to put some native ads and in-app ads in them. I took a look at multiple providers such as TapJoy / adMob / Flurry etc. They all aggregate publishers and allow devs to show the ads and make money.
BUT, my requirement is different, i want to publish ONLY MY ADS and not from other publishers. In other words, i want the simple SDK integration that moPub does but do not want other publishers to push ads.
I saw that in moPub, if i dont subscribed to marketplace, i kinda achieve what i want as my ads just show up my "creatives" or "ads"
What is the catch? Can i continue using mopub for private publishing?
Sorry, if the question is too elementary, i am new to this.
Thanks in advance

Can I use both Google AdMob and Amazon Mobile Ads in my Android app

I found this link:
Can I use AdMob in android apps published on Amazon Appstore?
The answer is Yes - It is good to know that but my question is:
Can I use both Google AdMob and Amazon Mobile Ads in my android App that will be publish on the Google Play Store?
Does it violate Google Play Developer Program Policies? Anyone has done this?
If you are displaying 2 ads at the same time then it's
against AdMob and Amazon Mobile Ads policies and will likely get your account banned,
will almost certainly alienate your users.
If you aren't displaying them both at the same time then you are effectively mediating. In this case both AdMob and Amazon Mobile Ads can be used in conjunction with each other. In fact, they even provide mediation solutions just for this purpose.

What is the use of adding Google Ads (using AdMob) in our application..?

As I am new to the android technology I want to get some information from you people regarding google ads in our application.
As I have integrated google ads in our project recently, I just want to know what is the use of adding google ads in our application. Will the publisher will get any benefits (like earning money or free advertisement). Can anyone give me some clear cut clarification regarding the main benefits of adding google ads in our app.
As the publisher (that's the name for those providing ad space in their apps) you will be able to earn revenue for displaying ads from the ad networks. You can also display house ads if you have other apps/sites that you want to promote.
I would suggest using a mediation platform so that you can pick and choose which ad networks to use. Admob (Google Ads) provides such a service.
