Testing the Integration
Before you publish your app with Start.io ( Formerly StartApp), we strongly recommend that you test your integration to ensure it is operating properly.
Turn on Test Mode by adding the following:
AdSdk.Instance.SetTestAdsEnabled(true);
Now you are all set to get test ads.
- You MUST turn off the test mode by removing the code above before going live or else your app will fail to monetize.
