Hello, I am facing a weird bug(?) in my app (using Gooble mobile ads Unity plugin ver 6.0.0) where I am using anchored adaptive banners as per the documentation here:
https://developers.google.com/admob/unity/banner/anchored-adaptive
So from what I see in the SDK there is a function to get the size of the banner view in pixels(which calls in return a native android function to return the size of the view in pixels). The weird thing that's happening is that the height I am getting returned is not always correct. Moreover I have noticed situations where I will get 2 ads of the same size(by putting 2 same devices side by side) and one will return a different height than the other.
I also did a check just to be sure by taking a printscreen, checking the log of the height of the banner and comparing it with the percentage of the whole screen how many pixels it should be and it was about ~50 pixels bigger.
My question would be, is the height of the bannerview a "correct" solution to be used in general to place UI?(The UI on my app is dependant on moving elements depending with the ad height for example). For now I have fixed it by setting a specific dp ad height for the banners(90 for tablet and 50 for phones) and turning that into pixels for each device and moving the UI accordingly. But shouldn't the bannerview return me the correct height? Is it because it's an adaptive banner? Is it considered good practise to use the banner height of the bannerview to layout my app's UI? Thank you in advance.
