Hello Taimur,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

Based on our documents (https://developers.google.com/admob/unity/app-open), I'm afraid there is no means to make app open ad transparent to black background As the SDK controls the appearance of this ad. A substitute may be to use native ads (https://developers.google.com/admob/unity/native). You may imitate the behavior of an app open ad to a certain degree using this but with the benefit of being able to control the appearance of the ad. If you have further concerns or inquiries, feel free to reach back to us.

Regards,

Mobile Ads SDK Team

Hi

The crash "Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: parameter must be a descendant of this view" is cover in this conversation: 

parameter must be a descendant of this view" crash using Ads SDK in a React Native Android Application (google.com)

And in this github link:

Is the biggest bug in the Unity plugin and lot of people are waiting for the fix for more than 5 months.

Hi 

I already replied adding stacktraces in the conversation that I mentioned before and as already I say, the only way to reproduce this crash is with real ads in production, whatever the code is used for this plugin is irrelevant. It seem to be a bug in the native side of the Android SDK, as the bug is reproducible in Android, Unity and React-Native (unofficial, but they fixed already in the latest version). 

According to forums and the fix of the React-Native plugin one solution could be to add "AdView.setDescendantFocusability(ViewGroup.FOCUS_BLOCK_DESCENDANTS)" to the Banner Adview.

If you need more stacktraces or more info reply me. Please, fix this bug. Thank you.

Hi Google Developers,

This bug is very difficult to replicate and very difficult to find as per some other developer said. You may even can't replicate it by sample project as it could happen 10 times within 1000 trials in specific devices (e.g. moto e60 or Xiaomi 11).

The quick fix is to add "AdView.setDescendantFocusability(ViewGroup.FOCUS_BLOCK_DESCENDANTS)" to the Banner Adview.
Or please add public access to the banner adview for the Unity Plugin for next release.

This is the highest priority of all bug fixes and features as this bug has been there for more than 9 months affecting most of the Admob Unity developers

and in our case, more than 10,000 players per game are suffering from this issue.

Please treat it as the high priority and the fix is an easy fix.

Otherwise we may be forced to use other mediation platforms.

Thank you very very very much...
