yes SDK is not installed. should look into this matter urgently. I'm using 2020.3.34f1 and I have a similar problem.

 

After some debugging, I tracing to a narrow clue, if UnityAdsWebViewConfiguration.json is exists(downloaded by 4.4.0 or manually copy the file to cache folder), 4.4.1 works fine.

it must be something wrong with the file download or related backend services bug for downloading the file

 

I added it at the end of my project and it stopped working. I had to transfer my project to a new project.

 

please write the path you copied UnityAdsWebViewConfiguration.json on it. thank you for helping

 

Just re-tested on this issue, everything works fine for now, the issue is gone!
