Unity Ads - interstitials ignore 'Allow Skip' dashboard setting

Solar2D Monetization (in-app purchases, ads, etc.)

I’m using Corona 2017.3184 and building for Android. In the process of testing on iOS.

Within the Unity Ads dashboard there is an option to allow skippable interstitials, eg ‘Skip after 5 seconds’. However, this setting is ignored on the device and the full ad plays out - 25 seconds or more.

We’re considering migrating to Unity Ads since they seem to have the best strategy for dealing with GDPR, however unskippable ads would definitely have a negative impact on our app’s users since current ads (AdMob) are skippable.

Is this a bug, or is this feature unsupported in Corona?

Hi,

I will check everything out and get back to you with a clear answer.

After a bit of investigation, it seems that putting a non-zero value for the ‘skip after’ field in the dashboard works as expected.

We were testing with a value of zero, which sometimes allows the ad to be skipped immediately, and sometimes forces the whole ad to play out.

Glad that you’ve worked everything out for yourself.

If you have any more questions or concerns - feel free to share them, it’s easier to solve them together!
