I've ran into an issue to with the Unity Admob plugin v6.0.0. I've set up the admob banner, interstitial and rewarded ads in Unity, and actually have it all working correctly in Unity editor with test ads.

However, when i test Admob on mobile, the rewarded ads do appear but it doesn't trigger the reward. The banner and interstitial ads work fine, and the rewarded ads do appear, but they don't trigger the reward.

I find this odd as it works perfectly inside the unity editor.

Can anyone off some insight on how to get this working on mobile?

Thanks

Hi there,

Could you tell us which version of Unity and which version of the plugin and which platform (iOS or Android) you are using?

Hi there,

I work along with Aryeh. Allow me to assist you in this.

I've tried our sample app with the Unity 2020.3.9f1 (Recommended release), and I was able to load a rewarded ad on my end. Would it be possible for you to upgrade your unity version, then let me know if the reported behavior persists? Also, is the same behavior occurs using our sample app?

I've upgraded to Unity 2020.3.9f1 and the issue still persists.

Can you confirm if the reward would be triggered after you loaded a rewarded ad? I am able to load rewarded ads, the problem is after viewing the rewarded ad, it won't trigger the reward (i.e. disable ads, add coins etc.).

I'm not sure what i can change if the test ads work in Unity but not when you build to mobile.

Great, i look forward to your response.

Just one thing, i do get the following warning with the Unity AdMob v6.0.0 plugin:

You are trying to create a MonoBehaviour using the 'new' keyword.  This is not allowed.  MonoBehaviours can only be added using AddComponent(). Alternatively, your script can inherit from ScriptableObject or no base class at all.

I was going to wait to bring this up as you can ignore this in Unity and the plugin would still work. Would this error have an effect when you build for mobile? Is there a solution to this warning to see whether fixing this will sore out the rewarded ads issue?

Hi there,

I work with William and Pamela and will assist you. Thank you for your script, I wasn't able to follow it, so I created a Unity project from scratch and put in an empty game object a script based on our guides. The rewarded ad showed and registered a reward in the callback, I saw the reward in logcat. I also didn't see the warning "You are trying to create a MonoBehaviour using the 'new' keyword.  This is not allowed.  MonoBehaviours can only be added using AddComponent(). Alternatively, your script can inherit from ScriptableObject or no base class at all." This was done in Unity version 2020.10.3f1 with Mobile Ads Unity Plugin 6.0. Attached is the script.

I would suggest you match your implementation with our guide and see how you are implementing differently.

Hello I am also facing the same issue Initially I worked on unity v2019.4.19f1 which actually worked fine till my earlier projects( 6 months back ). But from the past week I am facing this issue when I started using Admob v6.1.1 . I also switched my project file to Unity 2021.1.18f1. Nothing is working out. I implemented my Script according to the documentation provided by the official site.

Below I am attaching my Admob Script as well.

Everything is working fine in UNITY EDITOR, But when I build for mobile Only rewarded ads not triggering the Callbacks even after the ad is finished.

My current Unity version 2021.1.18f1
Admob v6.1.1

Thanks and Regards,
Avinash Botta.

I have the same problem as Avinash Botta.
I have rewarded ads that first execute the OnAdClosed function and after that the OnAdRewarded. I managed to find this out using logs. The problem is that I use reward ads to let the player continue the game, and if he closes the ad, it triggers the OnAdClosed which will reset the game. After that it will run the OnAdRewarded function, which given the fact that my game is already reset to first level it will reset again to that level. Could someone look up why is the OnAdClosed event running when the "Close ad button" shows up and is clicked at the end of the ad? I only tested this with Test Ads.

My current Unity version 2020.3.17f1
Admob v6.1.1

Hi Avi,

You can find a bunch of mediation servers and companies that also offer ad serving by looking at our mediation page which has around 20 ad serving company's in it.

Hi Avi,

 

I am looking into this issue related to unexpected event order in the Google Mobile Ads plugin. We reason this might be related to a mediation plugin. Can you let us know what mediation plugins you are using?

Thanks,

Nick
