iOS SwiftUI: Custom Click Gestures Not Recording for Button Taps (While Swipes Work)

[Thaoiie]

Hello,

I'm encountering an issue with custom click gesture recording in my SwiftUI application. While swipe gestures are working correctly, tap gestures are not being properly recorded despite following what appears to be the correct implementation.

Current implementation details:

• iOS 18.0+
• GoogleMobileAds SDK 11.13.0
• Using SwiftUI Button(_:action:) component
• Account is allow-listed
• Custom click gestures are enabled (GADNativeAd.enableCustomClickGestures)
• Recording is attempted at the earliest possible point in the tap action

Working scenario:

• Swipe interactions using SwiftUI DragGesture().onEnded successfully record
• These use the same GADNativeAd.recordCustomClickGesture() call

Non-working scenario:

• Tap interactions using Button action handler
• Receiving console message: "<Google> <Google:HTML> Custom clicks must be reported immediately after they are detected."
• This occurs even though recordCustomClickGesture() is called directly in the button's action handler

The interesting part is that both implementations (swipe and tap) use the same recordCustomClickGesture() method, but only the swipe gesture is accepted as valid by the SDK.

Questions:
1. Is there a specific timing requirement or context needed for button taps that differs from swipe gestures?
2. Are there any SwiftUI-specific considerations for handling custom click gestures?
3. Is there a recommended way to implement custom click gestures with SwiftUI buttons?

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated, particularly regarding best practices for handling custom ad interactions in SwiftUI applications.

Thank you!

Hi,

Thank you for contacting the Mobile Ads SDK support team.

It looks like you haven't passed GADNativeAdCustomClickGestureOptions. I would suggest to pass GADNativeAdCustomClickGestureOptions while requesting ads as GADAdLoaderOptions in GADAdLoader request.

let rightSwipeOption = GADNativeAdCustomClickGestureOptions(swipeGestureDirection: .right, tapsAllowed: true)
let leftSwipeOption = GADNativeAdCustomClickGestureOptions(swipeGestureDirection: .left, tapsAllowed: true)
let upSwipeOption = GADNativeAdCustomClickGestureOptions(swipeGestureDirection: .up, tapsAllowed: true)
let downSwipeOption = GADNativeAdCustomClickGestureOptions(swipeGestureDirection: .down, tapsAllowed: true)

adLoader = GADAdLoader(adUnitID: "ca-app-pub-xxxxxxxx9942544/xxxxx24511", rootViewController: nil, adTypes: [.native], options:[rightSwipeOption, leftSwipeOption, upSwipeOption, downSwipeOption]) 

Kindly reach out to us again if you face any other issue related to Mobile Ads SDK.

Thanks,
