Subject: Query on Adding Adaptive Banners to a Combined Solution with Both Native and Banner Ads

[Suryakant Sharma]

Dear Google Ad Support Team,

I am reaching out to inquire about the feasibility of incorporating an adaptive banner ad within a combined ad solution that includes both native and banner ads.
I have checked the doc of adaptive banner and  combined solution with both native and banner but couldn't get a response when I requested for adaptive banner from combined request using GADLoader. Is this feasible ?

Your guidance on this matter would be greatly appreciated. If this is feasible, any documentation or examples you could provide would be incredibly helpful.

Thank you for your time and support. I look forward to your response. let me know any follow-up questions.

Hi Suryakant,

As per the Combining Custom-Rendered Native Ad and Banner Ad Requests, with a few changes to your code, you can combine native and banner ads in your ad requests. The GADAdLoader object can also be configured to make ad requests that can result in either a banner or native ad.

Could you please share a sample project where the issue can be reproduced. This will allow us to review the implementation.

Hi Team, 
Thanks for replying 
I have worked on a sample project to reproduce the issue. Please go through it. 
I have added //TODO: - uncomment so that you can play around with it I have talked it from Google sample project and converted it into a demo project to show the issue 
The code is in CombineNativeBannerAdaptiveWidthExample.swift 
If you choose the banner and native unit IDs it works with the default banner size (small, medium, large) but the adaptive banner unit ID is not working even if I add code for returning adaptive size in the delegate method. 

func validBannerSizes(for adLoader: GADAdLoader)

Let me know any further questions or have suggestions/workaround. 

I uploaded a sample project in the given link

Hi Suryakant,

Thank you for providing us with the requested information.

I checked your sample project and observed that the current Ad unit being used doesn't match format. So I replaced it with the adaptive banner demo ad unit ID and specified which banner ad sizes should be requested by responding to the validBannerSizesForAdLoader message and I can see the Combining Native and BannerAdaptive is working as expected.

Code snippet for validBannerSizes(for adLoader: GADAdLoader):

  public func validBannerSizes(for adLoader: GADAdLoader) -> [NSValue] {
          return [NSValueFromGADAdSize(GADAdSizeBanner),
            NSValueFromGADAdSize(GADAdSizeMediumRectangle),
                  NSValueFromGADAdSize(GADAdSizeMediumRectangle),
            NSValueFromGADAdSize(GADCurrentOrientationAnchoredAdaptiveBannerAdSizeWithWidth(self.preferredContentSize.width))]
        }

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any follow-up questions.

Thank you for getting back to me. 
code below is working I agree 

[Suryakant Sharma]

continuing same discussion 
Why is it not working? while I am sending adaptive size shouldn't I don't send other sizes of constant width and height?
It is showing an error. So not sure why this behavior? 

Failed to load combined ad: Request Error: No ad to show.

public func validBannerSizes(for adLoader: GADAdLoader) -> [NSValue] {
          return [NSValueFromGADAdSize(GADCurrentOrientationAnchoredAdaptiveBannerAdSizeWithWidth(self.preferredContentSize.width))]
        }
