Google Mobile Ads for iOS - Receiving ads with multiple sizes but adSizeDelegate not being called.

[Roberto Miranda]

Hi, I am using Google Mobile Ads for iOS version 6.12.2 (using cocoapods).

I have set up my ads with the following code:

bannerView = [[DFPBannerView alloc] initWithAdSize:kGADAdSizeBanner];
bannerView.adUnitID = @"my-ad-Unit-ID-XXX";
bannerView.rootViewController = self.tableView.window.rootViewController;
bannerView.delegate = self;

// Set possible ad sizes
GADAdSize size1 = GADAdSizeFromCGSize(CGSizeMake(320, 50));
GADAdSize size2 = GADAdSizeFromCGSize(CGSizeMake(320, 75));
GADAdSize size3 = GADAdSizeFromCGSize(CGSizeMake(320, 100));
GADAdSize size4 = GADAdSizeFromCGSize(CGSizeMake(320, 150));
[bannerView setValidAdSizesWithSizes:&size1, &size2, &size3, &size4, nil];
bannerView.adSizeDelegate = self;

// Refresh the Ad
GADRequest *request = [SPAdRequestFactory targetedRequest];
// request.testDevices = @[ GAD_SIMULATOR_ID ];
[bannerView loadRequest:request];

The problem is that when I request an ad, the ad comes and I get the adViewDidReceiveAd: delegate call but I don't see any call to the adSizeDelegate:

- (void)adView:(GADBannerView *)view willChangeAdSizeTo:(GADAdSize)size {
   ...
   NSLog(@"banner view size changed");
}

The ad displayed has a size visually different than the bannerView size. Do you have any ideas why this is happening? Thanks in advance.

PD: I don't have access to the google ad portal since the ads are handled by an ad agency, I only have access to the ad unit ID.

Thanks for providing so much detail with your post.  I'm trying some test scenarios out with DFPBannerView and its delegates, and I'll get back to you once I have something.

Thank you very much for helping me. 

I have also noticed that sometimes the for the same ad the size changes (the ad size delegate is called) and sometimes not. As an example, for an ad with a height of 150, sometimes the ad is received and is placed with the default height of 50, resulting in a partially visible ad, but sometimes the size changed delegate method is called with the right height. Could be this a problem with the ad configuration in the portal?

UPDATE: We have recently discovered that the problem was related to the ad agency configuration. So no more research is needed to be done on this bug.

My app is experiencing the same bug, do you remember what configuration issue was causing this problem?

Thanks!
