[🐛] Bug InterstitialAd auto close when app change state to Background

Datpt2508 commented 1 year ago

What happened?

I get the error InterstitialAd closes automatically when I retract the app to the background and reopen it. This does not happen for the Foreground state. Can anyone help me keep InterstitialAd when the app is in the background?.

Has been reported before #393 and #411. No one has submitted a fix yet...

Why not dig into the Android code and try to find a fix / submit a PR?

I have the same issue. @Datpt2508 Have you found the solution ? @dylancom Can you take a look again at this issue, please!

ng-ha commented 4 months ago

any update ? ..

dylancom commented 4 months ago

I did some research and found it is caused by <activity android:launchMode=”singleTask” /> inside '/android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml'. When I removed the line (which is the same as setting it to standard) the modal didn't close anymore.

A user in #411 suggested setting it to <activity android:launchMode=”singleTop” />. But I don't know if you can safely remove / change this without other stuff being affected.

Maybe some other Android experts have some more knowledge on this? @DoctorJohn @mikehardy Do we need to advise a different launchMode for using this package?

Edit: It was introduced to React-Native by this commit https://github.com/facebook/react-native/commit/7a42596438018129d52ff04899ab4ddabd27cdcb, to make sure that the application is resumed when pressing the app icon. So it seems not safe to remove / change this line.

Maybe some learnings from other packages can be used? https://github.com/bitpay/bitpay-app/pull/160, https://github.com/auth0/react-native-auth0/pull/350

DoctorJohn commented 4 months ago

Here's another useful resource I'm currently reading while looking into this issue:

I checked what the Flutter package is using since technically they have similar requirements to RN. They use singleTop and it looks like none reported this issue in their repository.

(However, I stumbled across an issue there that suggest that showing interstitials in the background might result in a warning. I assume that means opening them in the background is not allowed, but this might be something to keep in mind.)
