I don't receive any small banners with new unity monetisation sdk 3.0 on android and iOS devices

@unity-huunity

Because the Initialization process is asynchronous, calling LoadBanner immediately after Initialization may cause issues.

It's best to wait until the banner placement is ready and then show or load the banner.

(We are aware that our documentation example has a similar problem. We are updating it as soon as we can.)

You should be able to successfully show banner ads with the following code snippet (or modify it as needed):

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using UnityEngine;
3. using UnityEngine.Advertisements;
4.  
5. public class BannerAds : MonoBehaviour
6. {
7.     public string bannerPlacement = "banner";
8.     public bool testMode = false;
9. #if UNITY_IOS
10.     public const string gameID = "1234567";
11. #elif UNITY_ANDROID
12.     public const string gameID = "1234568";
13. #elif UNITY_EDITOR
14.     public const string gameID = "1111111";
15. #endif
16.  
17.     void Start()
18.     {
19.         Advertisement.Initialize(gameID, testMode);
20.         StartCoroutine(ShowBannerWhenReady());
21.     }
22.  
23.     IEnumerator ShowBannerWhenReady()
24.     {
25.         while (!Advertisement.IsReady("banner"))
26.         {
27.             yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.5f);
28.         }
29.         Advertisement.Banner.Show(bannerPlacement);
30.     }
31. }

Please note there are a couple of known issues with banner ads at the moment:

1. Banners are not currently supported for players in the EU. We are still finalizing our GDPR solution for banners.
2. There may be times where a banner ad is not available, even if you implemented your code correctly. There is an expected ramp up period, but Unity is working toward fulfilling a majority of ad requests.

The response above should be correct, but if you'd like to have more control over the Banner (like load it during the title screen, and show it on the game over screen, etc.) then you can use the following code snippet:

Code (CSharp):

1.     using System.Collections;
2.     using UnityEngine;
3.     using UnityEngine.Advertisements;
4.  
5.     public class BannerAds : MonoBehaviour
6.     {
7.         public string bannerPlacement = "banner";
8.         public bool testMode = false;
9.     #if UNITY_IOS
10.         public const string gameID = "1234567";
11.     #elif UNITY_ANDROID
12.         public const string gameID = "1234568";
13.     #elif UNITY_EDITOR
14.         public const string gameID = "1111111";
15.     #endif
16.  
17.         void Start()
18.         {
19.             Advertisement.Initialize(gameID, testMode);
20.             StartCoroutine(LoadBanner());
21.         }
22.  
23.         public bool CanShowBanner()
24.         {
25.             return Advertisement.Banner.isLoaded;
26.         }
27.  
28.         public void ShowBanner()
29.         {
30.             if (Advertisement.Banner.isLoaded)
31.             {
32.                 Advertisement.Banner.Show(bannerPlacement);
33.             }
34.         }
35.  
36.         IEnumerator LoadBanner()
37.         {
38.             while (!Advertisement.IsReady(bannerPlacement))
39.             {
40.                 yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.5f);
41.             }
42.             // Load won't show the banner, but just load it.
43.             Advertisement.Banner.Load(bannerPlacement);
44.         }
45.     }

Note the calls to

Advertisement.Banner.isLoaded

and

Advertisement.Banner.Load

The benefit to this code is that the Banner can be loaded but not shown, and you can show it immediately when you want to.

Yes, Advertisement.Show() will still work in 3.0 exactly as before:
