It is saying “Ads must be initialized before calling show” even tho I initialize them.

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.Advertisements;
public class Advertise : MonoBehaviour
{
    public string id = "myid";
    // Start is called before the first frame update
    public void Start()
    {
        Advertisement.Initialize(id, true);
        ShowAd();
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    public void ShowAd()
    {
        Advertisement.Show(id);
    }
}

Hello, it’s because Initialization is asynchronous and your code is for synchronous initialization. Your class should implement the IUnityAdsInitializationListener interface and then you can call Show after OnInitializationComplete() callback was successfully called.
