Hi,

Users are complaining that they cannot access the “close ad” buttons when using 3-button navigation with Android 15. (see images)

I know there is a response saying that an update is planned for September to fix issues with Android 15 and edge-to-edge, but while we wait for a fix, and knowing that the developer can't do anything about it, can you notify the Admob backend team to limit the display of this type of ad? As developers, we have no way of intervening, unless we stop all interstitial ad placements.

Lib used: com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:24.1.0

Hi,

Thank you for contacting the Mobile Ads SDK Support team.   

We've got a temporary solution for the API level 35 issue you're facing. To fix it, you'll need to use a workaround that disables the edge-to-edge feature.

Here's the workaround:

<style name="Android15EdgeToEdgeStyle"

parent="@android:style/Theme.Translucent">

<item name="android:windowOptOutEdgeToEdgeEnforcement"

tools:targetApi="35">true</item>

</style>

To implement this, set the windowOptOutEdgeToEdgeEnforcement flag to true in your app's window style. Please keep in mind that this is only a temporary fix. Our team is actively working on a permanent solution and will let you know as soon as an update is ready.

Thanks,
