Adding the optional FacebookTestDeviceId

When you run your app on the simulator, test ads will show by default and indicate a successful ad serving call in your app. When testing on a device, however, you must enable test ads by copying the hashed device ID that is printed to the console and set it in code via a dedicated function.

To enable test ads, use the following:

Android:

AerServConfig config = new AerServConfig(this, YOUR_AERSERV_PLACEMENT);
config.setDebug(true); 

iOS:

[AerServSDK enableTestMode:YES]; 

AerServSDK.enableTestMode(true) 

You may also see test ads by prepending a test ad type to your Facebook placement. Please consult the Audience Network Guide from Facebook, for more details.
