Tiny Banner Ad problem?

Questions & Answers
1

I have completed a simple app and I am almost ready to go except for the ads. I have added in my banner script and it works in Test Mode. I have been Googling and searching everywhere for a way to change the height of Unity banner ads, but I could not find anything. I have attached my banner ad code as well as a screenshot of the bottom portion of the device simulator so you can see how tiny the banner shows up as. Can anyone tell me how to set a banner ad’s size?

    public string gameId = "1234567";
    public string placementId = "bannerPlacement";
    public bool testMode = true;

    [SerializeField] BannerPosition _bannerPosition = BannerPosition.BOTTOM_CENTER;

    void Start()
    {
        // Initialize the SDK if you haven't already done so:
        Advertisement.Initialize(gameId, testMode);
        StartCoroutine(ShowBannerWhenReady());

        // Set the banner position:
        Advertisement.Banner.SetPosition(_bannerPosition);
    }

    IEnumerator ShowBannerWhenReady()
    {
        while (!Advertisement.IsReady(placementId))
        {
            yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.5f);
        }
        Advertisement.Banner.Show(placementId);
    }
}

I am having this problem too. I haven’t solved it yet but it’s related to the Canvas Scaler on your UI Canvas. The banner ad appears to always be displayed with a Scale Factor of 1. So if your project’s Canvas Scaler has a Scale Factor higher than 1 (i.e. for any iPhone after the iPhone 3), your banner ad will be reduced in size. I can’t find any way to access the Canvas that the banner is displayed on as it doesn’t show up in the hierarchy - but hopefully this at least gives you a clue as to what’s happening. When you build to a device (I’ve been building to my iPhone 12 Pro), the test banner displays correctly - it’s just annoying for it to display incorrectly in the editor.
