YouTube ads never show while using YouTube Android Player API

Question

YouTube ads never show no matter what the player style or what the video.

Actual YouTube version: 10.18.55 YouTube Android Player API: 1.2.1

I remember that I saw some ads while was developing my app. Now I can't see any ad after hundreds of tests. This is actually a problem, because my app gets constantly suspended or rejected because of "unauthorized use" of YouTube API. Google Play Support Team thinks that I disable the ads somehow. Please confirm the issue.

Answer 1

Same thing happened to me when I was playing video with YoutubeStandalonePlayer API with autoPlay flag set to true. Loading a video with autoplay set to false fixed the issue.
