AdMob problem with interstitial ads and Unity 5.3.3

W/Ads﹕ Timed out waiting for WebView to finish loading.

Has anyone else seen this error with the official AdMob plugin for Unity? Googling doesn’t seem to bring up anything useful. I’m using Unity 5.3.3p1. 5.3.3p2 doesn’t look like it has any pertinent bug fixes.

The first interstitial Ad loads and displays fine. And if I load another ad soon after and display it, it displays fine. The error occurs only if I let the device sleep for a while (about an hour?). Then the next time I try to load an ad nothing happens except this error showing up in logcat about 30 seconds later. The AdFailedToLoad event does not even trigger in Unity. It will do this every time I try to load an ad until the application is restarted.

The ads work fine in Unity 5.2.4. Unfortunately, I can’t just revert back to 5.2.4 because it has other issues.

Confirmed the same problem using AdMob’s example code. Using a Nexus 7 (2012), problem occurs with 5.3.3p1 but not with 5.2.4f1 so something changed with Unity somewhere in 5.3.X.

From this link try some older admob version.

Right now my apps are not even showing a single ad, banner or interstitial. existing apps on play store have stopped showing ads. Always no FIll. Tried test ads on blank project, still No fill. admob working on my non unity apps though. Must be a problem on their side with unity.

I did try the older version 2.3.1 but it has the same result. I suppose it could be a bug in admob but it’s weird that I don’t have a problem using it in Unity 5.2.4.

That sounds like a different problem.

I think this gotta to do with how you downloaded/installed unity 5.3. If this was an issue with unity there must have been a bug report by now. I am on 5.2.4 so cann’t say for sure.

Furthermore, make an empty project with nothing but admob in it. see what happens.

I understand i am having a different issue than OP but wanted to let him know that unity and admob are having an issue right now. Can anyone confirm that their apps are showing admob ads or even ad mob test ads?

I don’t think so. It’s easy to miss because it does work for a while. I’m sure most developers testing their own game are restarting the game often, and the non-developer testers might not notice if they don’t see an ad (it’s a “feature”). Someone might assume the ad just wasn’t filled. And I’m not sure where along 5.3.X it was introduced. It could be recent.

That’s what I did when I confirmed the problem occurs even with admob’s sample program.

I can confirm admob ads work (test ads and live ads) in both 5.2.4 and 5.3.3p1… it’s just they stop working after the game has been running sleeping for a while in 5.3.3p1…

5.3.4 is out, maybe that’ll fix your issue

11

As expected, 5.3.4 does not fix it.

But a little more information:
The Nexus 7 (2012) which I used to produce this error is running Android 4.3.
I also tested on a Nexus 4 running Android 5.1 and can’t seem to reproduce the error on it.

https://18220747100232649887.google…BRvHflitokZMslc6Pd07_m61QSIDE8cjbabbt4r-qyVYwI want to connect admob interstitial ads. I use Google Mobile Ads Unity Plugin v3.0.5.
From this link: Release Google Mobile Ads Unity Plugin v3.0.5 · googleads/googleads-mobile-unity · GitHub

Everything is connected, but does not display advertising. Here is the error that provides:

Quote

This is the dummy message provided by the plugin when running in the editor. You need to run your app on an emulator or a physical device to see ads.

14

Thank you, but on the emulator or devayse too, there’s nothing

15

Please create your own thread and post your code related to ads, i will gladly help you.

public static int Level = 10;

public GameObject Next_lev_Video,Videorekl;

void Start () {

rewardBasedVideo.OnAdRewarded += HandleRewardBasedVideoRewarded;

#if UNITY_ANDROID
string adUnitId = “ca-app-pub-1429438471709960/3441074930”;
#elif (UNITY_5 && UNITY_IOS) || UNITY_IPHONE
string adUnitId = “INSERT_IOS_INTERSTITIAL_AD_UNIT_ID_HERE”;
#else
string adUnitId = “unexpected_platform”;
#endif

rewardBasedVideo.LoadAd(createAdRequest(), adUnitId);

// Register for ad events.
AdRequest request = new AdRequest.Builder().Build();

#if UNITY_ANDROID
string adUnitId = “ca-app-pub-1429438471709960/3441074930”;
