test ad not working

Hello, i'm trying to display a simple banner ad at the bottom of my app. i'm using the below script (Taken directly from unity's website)

 public class  BannerAd : MonoBehaviour
 {
 
     public string gameId = "xxxxxxx";
     public string placementId = "id";
     public bool testMode = true
 
     void Start()
     {
         Advertisement.Initialize(gameId, testMode);
 
         StartCoroutine(ShowBannerWhenReady());
         Debug.Log("banner ad coroutine started");
     }
 
     IEnumerator ShowBannerWhenReady()
     {
         Debug.Log("in banner ad coroutine"); 
         while (!Advertisement.IsReady(placementId))
         {
             yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.5f);
         }
         Debug.Log("showing banner ad"); 
         Advertisement.Banner.Show(placementId);
     }
 }

i've ensured gameId matches the one on my console, and i have created an ad placement on my console. ads are enabled in my editor services.

it gets to the Debug.Log("in banner ad coroutine"), but the ad never becomes ready (loops forever).

anyone know what could be causing the ad to never become ready?

(these are just test ads, i haven't even tried publishing it yet and showing real ads)..

thanks
