Unity Banner Ads top of screen?

Just need to know, so currently unity documentation says the new Unity banner ads can only be placed at bottom center of screen. How soon until we will be able to place them top center of game screen?

 

Nice! Waiting for it!

 

@RossRothenstineU3D I am testing on iphone 5s and banner ad is few pixels (8 pixels) above from screen bottom boundary. Is it something intentional. I tried to reposition it to bottom but it get re positioned after some time again.
I am talking about ios sdk UnityAds-3.0.0.

 

Hello, I have 2 questions sir...

1. Do you have a date for the next release? I really do need the option to place banner at the top as well.

2. Are Unity banner ads small(er) compared to others? i.e. My test ads show it centered at the bottom utilizing only about 70-80 of the screen width. This is my first use of banner ads so I wasn't sure if this was typical. I was investigating Admob and theirs fill to side of screen.

 

Hi RossRothenstineU3D, any updates from your side?

 

 

Advertisement.Banner.SetPosition(BannerPosition.TOP_CENTER);

works for me.

 

Thanks for your update

 

Trying to add the Banner ad to the top as is stated that it is working. But im really bad with scripting can someone please help me.
using System.Collections;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.Advertisements;

public class UnityBannerAd : MonoBehaviour
{
public bool testMode = false;

#if UNITY_IOS
public const string store_id = "";
#elif UNITY_ANDROID
public const string store_id = "";
#endif
private string bannerPlacement = "";
void Awake()
{
#if UNITY_IOS || UNITY_ANDROID
Advertisement.Initialize (store_id, false);
StartCoroutine (ShowBannerWhenReady ());
#endif
}
IEnumerator ShowBannerWhenReady()
{
while (!Advertisement.IsReady(bannerPlacement))
{
yield return new WaitForSeconds (0.5f);
}
Debug.Log("showin!");
Advertisement.Banner.Show(bannerPlacement);
}
public void HideBanner()
{
Advertisement.Banner.Hide();
}

public void ShowBanner()
{
Advertisement.Banner.Show(bannerPlacement);
}
}

 

In case you haven't solved this, or if any future people find this post:

After spending a while fighting this to get a successful solution, try changing:

#if UNITY_IOS || UNITY_ANDROID
Advertisement.Initialize (store_id, false);
StartCoroutine (ShowBannerWhenReady ());

to :

Advertisement.Initialize (store_id, false);
Advertisement.Banner.SetPosition(BannerPosition.TOP_MIDDLE);
StartCoroutine(ShowBannerWhenReady());

A complete, working script (replace ##### with your gameID and PLACEMENTNAME with the name of your placement):

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.Advertisements;

public class BannerAd : MonoBehaviour
{

public string bannerPlacement = "PLACEMENTNAME";
public bool testMode = false;

#if UNITY_IOS
public const string gameID = "####";
#elif UNITY_ANDROID
public const string gameID = "####";
#elif UNITY_EDITOR
public const string gameID = "####";
#endif

void Start()
{
Advertisement.Initialize(gameID, false);
Advertisement.Banner.SetPosition(BannerPosition.BOTTOM_LEFT);
StartCoroutine(ShowBannerWhenReady());
}

IEnumerator ShowBannerWhenReady()
{
while (!Advertisement.IsReady("PLACEMENTNAME"))
{
yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.5f);
}
Advertisement.Banner.Show(bannerPlacement);
}
}

 

It works just fine!! thank you so much for the tip
