Unity Admob Native in UI requires Screen Space - Camera Rendering

[Alex Ferrier]

We're integrating native ads into the UI of our Unity-based app. 

We have them working fine in a testbed, but due to the way click hitbox detection (and presumably also impression detection?) works, in order to use UI elements with BoxCollider2D attached, you must switch your UI Canvas to Screen Space (Camera) rendering. Screen Space (overlay) will not work, especially with e.g. ads embedded in a ScrollView.  (Presumably the ad code is internally raycasting on clicks from known camera positions.) 

Just wanted to confirm that this is as designed, as our UI is currently Screen Space-camera, and there are a few complexities with interaction between the UI and 3D scene to fix up in order for us  to switch. The current docs are only refer to 3D-world MeshRenderers and TextMeshes.

Hey Alex,

The 3.15.0.1 release included changes to support overlay canvases. Clicks not being detected is not expected behavior. Would you be able to share a test app that reproduces ad clicks not working as expected? It would help us investigate and implement a fix.

Yep, that doesn't seem to be working. Tested on iPad Air 2, iOS 11.4.1 unity and Ad SDK versions as above. Minimal project will follow by private reply. Project works fine in screen space camera, but not overlay. 

I haven't checked on Android, but if it's not working on both target platforms we'd have to move to screen space camera anyway...
