Ad-Content should not be selectable (iOS)

[appinteractive]

Hey, I do encounter the issue, that when I tap and hold on an ad, the content is selected, which is confusing and in my view not intended. Is there a way to prevent that as a workaround in the meantime!?

Plugin Version

2.0.1

Steps to Reproduce

1. open an interstitial ad (iOS)
2. long press on ad content

Expected results: nothing should happen, no selection, no interaction

Actual results: all (or partial) text (and close button) on the ad is selected

Hi @appinteractive I think this is working as intended by the native library, depending on Ad type (Text, Image, Video) returned. This issue is also reproducible on Android (Flutter).

I also try running one of the Android Native Ads Examples and see the similar behavior (text is selectable)

Demo

I haven't found any documentation for an explanation of this at the moment either. I'll update it when I find one. I'm just seeing the issue is reproducible on the native side as well, which means that the issue is either on the native library side or it's working as intended. Hope you have the same thoughts.

Hmm okay, find it really disturbing as also the close button gets selected. That destroys the native feel of the app but I guess it's a html view and can't be changed. Also could it result in unwanted ad clicks.

Hi @appinteractive I also do the test with googleads-mobile-ios-examples and see that the content is also selectable. I haven't tested with the production ad yet, it will be better if you can do it to make sure the same behavior.

You can also file a new issue on https://groups.google.com/g/google-admob-ads-sdk to have better support there. Thank you!

Without additional information, we are unfortunately not sure how to resolve this issue. We are therefore reluctantly going to close this bug for now. If you find this problem please file a new issue with the same description, what happens, logs and the output of 'flutter doctor -v'. All system setups can be slightly different so it's always better to open new issues and reference the related ones. Thanks for your contribution.
