Hi Pawan,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

I tried replicating your case on my end, but could not get the sample project to produce the same kind of error. That said, could you send a copy of your sample project (reproducing the error) using the Reply privately to author option so that I can investigate the issue?

Any update?

Hi Jesal,

Thank you for providing a copy of your sample project in private.

I was able to test your project, and can confirm that I am receiving the same crash. I've forwarded this issue to our Engineering team for them to take a look at, and will get back to you for any updates on this.

I may have an update on this myself on my part. So the editor version I was using for Unity was 2019.3.0a2 which was Unity's Alpha version. I have gone for a final version of Unity of 2019.1.8f1 which is the latest and stable version of Unity and can confirm that SmartBanners work with this version of Unity. So this could may well have been an issue with Unity potentially. So Pawan, since you're also on the same version that I was, that's what the problem is, it's the editor, I'd suggest you upgrade to the latest f version you can. 2019.1.7f1 or 2019.1.8f1 should fix it.

EDIT: I had to upgrade my Unity Editor once again due to some other problem with Stripping Engine Code on Unity and now I get the same Error once again with Smart Banner. The same test project I gave you would apply to now my current Unity Editor version: Unity 2019.3.0a6.

Hi,

We are seeing probably the same crash with a slightly different stacktrace, happening a lot;

We are using the Google Mobile ads plugin 3.17. Unity 2018.4.2.

The strange part of it, is that we are using the same code (own plugin for advertising) in other apps, with the same software/plugin versions, only showing this error once in a while. But this app has a crashrate of 1% only from this crash. I can't find the differences between the apps, although they need to be there :-). So, it feels it has or something to do with certain ad campaigns running, or an implementation issue, or a bug.

Hi Pawan,

I'm afraid the Dropbox link of your sample project is giving me an error 404, and thus I can't access it.

Hi all,

Thank you for the additional details provided on this concern. The Engineering team is still working on this issue; that said, could you provide the details below using the Reply privately to author option to help with the investigation of this issue?

• Mobile Ads SDK version used (refer to this page as a guide)
• Google Play Services version used
• Unity version used
• Sample project with the error reproduced, if any (via Google Drive if possible)

I have the same problem, so is there any update ??

[The0Warrior]

Thank you so much for providing the smart banner thing info, I spend 16 days trying to figure out why it crashed on start


Changing to banner fixed the issue. Hope they fix the smart banner one.

Hi Antonio,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

Kindly note that the Engineering team is already aware of this issue, and is currently working on a fix for this. In the meantime, you may set AdSize.SMART_BANNER to AdSize.BANNER instead as a workaround for the crashes.
