Unity video Ad isReady()==true but failed when calling show() [Native Android]

Unity Services

Hi,

When I receive an Ad from Unity Ads (onUnityAdsReady is called). and I try to show() the video. I always get the error handled called with string: “Unity Ads show failed: Placement “XXXXXXX” is not ready”. The weird thing is that if I call UnityAds.isReady() it returns true O_O. Is this a bug?

I can see this in the logs:

I’m using native android, not Unity.

What is happening?

Hi,

Can you provide your code responsible for handling Unity Ads?

You can also send an e-mail to our support at unityads-support@unity3d.com with further details - our engineers will investigate it from there.

Well it seems I found the problem.

I was calling show(activity, placement). I guess this will fire up another action to get a new ad because of the auto caching unityads uses. So, this is why I receive an ad ready but when trying to show I get that it is not ready.

Confirm this please…

Cheers.
