[REQUIRED] Step 1: Describe your environment

Unity version: 2022.2.8f1
Google Mobile Ads Unity plugin version: 9.2.0
Plugin installation method: .unitypackage import (Unity package manager, .unitypackage import)
Platform: Unity Editor (iOS, Android, Unity Editor)
Platform OS version: Android 9 (eg iOS 10, Android 9)
Any specific devices issue occurs on: mobile device
Mediation ad networks used, and their versions: Native ads

[REQUIRED] Step 2: Describe the problem

Steps to reproduce:

Hi everyone, I am currently working on native advertising and have referenced the following source: https://youtu.be/M-XdptsCWtQ?si=PUZS3HU2RWNDwa56

I built the device and tested everything fine, native ads load normally, clicks will redirect to the store, but the problem is that Admob does not record the display and clicks. Everything like banners, inter, bonus ads work normally.

I have consulted documents in many support groups but have not found any effective way (have updated the ads sdk to the latest version), hope to receive support from everyone.

Relevant Code:

// This is code load and register native ads

region NativeAds

private NativeAd adNative;
public bool nativeLoaded;
private bool isLoadingNativeAds;

public void RequestNativeAd()
{
    Debug.Log("Loading native ad");
    if(isLoadingNativeAds)
    {
        Debug.Log("return because loading native ad");
        return;
    }
    isLoadingNativeAds = true;
    AdLoader adLoader = new AdLoader.Builder(nativeAdsId).ForNativeAd().Build();
    adLoader.OnNativeAdLoaded += HandleNativeAdLoaded;
    adLoader.OnAdFailedToLoad += HandleAdFailedToLoad;
    adLoader.OnNativeAdImpression += OnNativeAdImpression;

    AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest();
    adLoader.LoadAd(adRequest);

    void HandleAdFailedToLoad(object sender, AdFailedToLoadEventArgs e)
    {
        Debug.LogError("native ads load failed");
        TrackingManager.instance.ad_native_show_failed();
        isLoadingNativeAds = false;
    }

    void HandleNativeAdLoaded(object sender, NativeAdEventArgs e)
    {
        Debug.LogError("native ads load completed");
        this.adNative = e.nativeAd;
        nativeLoaded = true;
        isLoadingNativeAds = false;
    }

    void OnNativeAdImpression(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Debug.LogError("Native Ads Show Done");
    }
}

public void ShowNativeAds(GameObject adNativePanel, Image adIcon, Image adChoices, Text adHeadline, Text adBodyText, Text adCallToAction, Text adAdvertiser)
{
    if (this.adNative != null)
    {
        Debug.Log("Set up native ads");
        string headlineText = this.adNative.GetHeadlineText();
        adHeadline.color = Color.black;
        adHeadline.text = headlineText;

        string bodyText = this.adNative.GetBodyText();
        adBodyText.text = bodyText;

        string adCta = this.adNative.GetCallToActionText();
        adCallToAction.text = adCta;

        string adAdv = this.adNative.GetAdvertiserText();
        adAdvertiser.text = adAdv;

        Texture2D iconTexture = this.adNative.GetIconTexture();
        if (iconTexture != null)
        {
            adIcon.gameObject.SetActive(true);
            adIcon.sprite = Sprite.Create(iconTexture, new Rect(0, 0, iconTexture.width, iconTexture.height), new Vector2(.5f, .5f));
        }
        // else
        // {
        //     adIcon.gameObject.SetActive(false);
        // }

        Texture2D iconChoice = this.adNative.GetAdChoicesLogoTexture();
        if (iconChoice != null)
        {
            adChoices.gameObject.SetActive(true);

        // else
        // {

Hello, I would like to understand a bit more about your use case. I notice you have a canvas for placing the ad. Instead of Native Ads, did you consider Native Overlays. Native Overlays have the advantage of supporting Video ads as well as mediation. Also the SDK takes care of rendering ad so you don't have to lay out individual elements such as call to action, headline, etc.

Thank for your reply, I will try it.

I am facing the same issue. The request and match rate for native ads are being counted, but impressions remain at zero. I checked the sample project for native overlay ads, but since native overlay ads did not fit well with the app’s UI, I need to use native ads.

Unity version : 2021.3.45f1 Google Mobile Ads Unity plugin version: 9.4.0 GoogleMobileAds-native : 7.4.0

The NativeOverlay ads are quite customizable using the NativeTemplateStyle as demonstrated here. I would like to understand your use case better. Unless your application has 3D elements, the NativeOverlay should ideally work for most cases. I would encourage against using the Native Unity Plugin since its not being maintained currently.
