Test Devices

Test Devices open up additional Tapjoy features when you are developing your application. Devices registered as ‘Test Devices’ can view content cards set to "only for test devices". This lets you test specific content units without showing them to all users. Test Devices will automatically turn on Tapjoy Debug Logging for themselves after the SDK connects to the server (compatible with SDK 11.4.0+).

Setting up test devices involves finding the Tapjoy test deivce id, or the advertising ID on the device, and adding that ID to the Tapjoy Dashboard "App Settings/Test device” panel.

If you are interested in learning more about the Advertising ID, check out Google’s documentation here.

1. Finding your test device ID

When you run your application with Tapjoy debug logs enabled, you will find the 'test device' id printed in the logs. Search the logs for 'test device' to find it.

2. Registering your test device on the Tapjoy Dashboard

Once you have obtained the advertising ID, go to your application’s Settings/ Test Device page. Here you can enter the Advertising ID – this will set your device as a test device for your application.

You can then use test device features. For example, content cards that have ‘Only for Test Devices’ enabled can only be viewed by test devices.

Note that test devices with invalid ids such as all 0’s won’t be allowed.
