Unity 4.6/5.0 Windows Phone 8.1 App - Unable to interact with Microsoft Adverstising Banner

This seems to have been a problem for some time. From what I can see it's pretty much a show stopper for using MS Advertising on their own phone platform.

The bug was reported, and was marked as 'to be fixed in future version' - I just upgraded my project to Unity 5 and it didnt help - still unable to tap on an Ad and have it expand/interact.

Can I get an update on this?

 

Thanks for the response -- I'll explore that and see if I can get it to work

 

Aurimas - after some trial & error and help from another Win C# coder, I was able to get it to work. I'm posting what I did here, so you can verify (I've verified that the changes allow the ads to be tapped) and perhaps spot anything I missed. In addition, this might be useful for people who run into this same problem:

In MainPage.xaml.cs added the following line after the private declarations at the top of the MainPage class:

public static MainPage Current { get; private set; }

With the constructor MainPage remove the SplashScreen parameter

public MainPage() //SplashScreen splashScreen)

As we're going to navigate to this page, the OnNavigate method pulls the splashScreen parameter for us, so we can safely remove it from the constructor.

In App.xaml.cs in InitializeUnity inside the block "if (rootFrame == null && !appCallbacks.IsInitialized())" replace the following lines:

var mainPage = new MainPage(splashScreen);
Window.Current.Content = mainPage;

with:

rootFrame = new Frame();
Window.Current.Content = rootFrame;
if (!rootFrame.Navigate(typeof(MainPage), splashScreen))
throw new Exception("Failed to navigate to MainPage");

(The throw is in to catch any errors with the navigate call, it's not really needed)

In the function RemoveSpashScreen() replace

MainPage page = (MainPage)Window.Current.Content;

with

MainPage.Current.RemoveSplashScreen();


With these changes, you should be able to tap on the MS Ad content overlaying your Unity App on Windows Phone 8.1

 

still the appCallbacks.SetSwapChainPanel(mainPage.GetSwapChainPanel());
giving an error. And using the static version throws a NullReferenceException
