Back button closes interstitial ads prematurely in flutter

[Marcos Rodríguez]

Hello Flutter Community,

I'm having an issue with interstitial ads in my Flutter app using the google_mobile_ads package. The problem is that pressing the back button immediately closes the ad, even before it starts playing.

I've noticed that in other apps, the ad doesn't close immediately when pressing back. Instead, it lets the loading bar finish before allowing the user to close it.

My Questions:

1. How can I prevent the ad from being closed too early?
2. Is there a way to let the ad finish loading before allowing it to be dismissed with the back button?

  Any suggestions or solutions would be really appreciated! Thanks in advance!

To investigate why ads are disabled by the back button despite the counter, please provide the following details.

• App ID
• AdUnit ID

Hi,

After removing  android:enableOnBackInvokedCallback="true" in my AndroidManifest it is working for me. Tell me please if it is a good solution.

Thanks in advance,
