Interstitial ad fails to show in Flutter modules. "The provided view controller is already presenting another view controller." [iOS] #700

rckrd-proguitar · 2022-11-16T11:03:36Z

Plugin Version

2.3.0

Steps to Reproduce

Run flutter create bug -t module.
Update the files as follows: Show an Interstitial ad
Create a host app: https://docs.flutter.dev/development/add-to-app/ios/project-setup
Add a flutter screen: https://docs.flutter.dev/development/add-to-app/ios/add-flutter-screen?tab=initial-route-without-pre-warming-objective-c-tab
Open the flutter screen and then open the interstitial ad in flutter

Expected results: The Interstitial ad is shown in fullscreen.

Actual results: The view fails to show. Error message: "The provided view controller is already presenting another view controller."

The view controller used to present to interstitial ad view is not the "Flutter view controller" when flutter is running in a host app.
The viewcontroller used is the rootviewcontroller of the host app, i.e the main view of the host app.

https://github.com/googleads/googleads-mobile-flutter/blob/main/packages/google_mobile_ads/ios/Classes/FLTGoogleMobileAdsPlugin.m#L196

Possible solution:
Is there any reason not to use the view controller that is on top of the stack? When a host app opens flutter it's convenient to keep the rootviewcontroller as the main native/host VC so it is easy to navigate back to the host app from flutter.

Logs

FullScreenContentCallback.onAdFailedToShowFullScreenContent: "The provided view controller is already presenting another view controller."

Hi @rckrd-proguitar
Please provide a completed and minimal reproducible code sample so that we may verify this. In this case, the issue relates to native side, it will be better if you can push the sample code into a Github repository and make it public.

Also, please provide the output of flutter doctor -v as well. Thank you!

rckrd-proguitar · 2022-11-16T15:28:22Z

Here you go @huycozy : https://github.com/rckrd-proguitar/googleads-mobile-flutter-issue-700

The example generates the following log when the interstitial ad tries to present itself:

flutter: Instance of 'InterstitialAd' onAdFailedToShowFullScreenContent: AdError(code: 17, domain: com.google.admob, message: The provided view controller is already presenting another view controller.)

You find the output of flutter doctor -v under "Logs" above.

rckrd-proguitar · 2022-11-17T10:29:31Z

If there is no other workaround or error on my part, the following could maybe be a solution to find the view controller on top.

- (UIViewController *)rootController {
  UIViewController *rootViewController = UIApplication.sharedApplication.delegate.window.rootViewController;
  if(rootViewController.presentedViewController != nil){
    return rootViewController.presentedViewController;
  }
  return rootViewController;
}

huycozy · 2022-11-21T05:44:57Z

@rckrd-proguitar Sorry for replying late. I can reproduce this issue with provided sample code at #700 (comment).

Labeling this issue for further investigation from the team. Thanks!

@jjliu15 I am facing this issue in version 3.1.0 but if i downgrade it to 2.4.0 its working fine
Instance of 'InterstitialAd' onAdFailedToShowFullScreenContent1: AdError(code: 17, domain: com.google.admob, message: The provided view controller is not being presented.)

Anyone Resolve this?

FranciscoVenegas · 2023-12-02T14:46:44Z

Hello
I am receiving the same error in version 3.1.0 (I cannot downgrade due to compatibility issues).
In my case the first interstitial displays fine, however the 2nd one fails. Then the 3rd works fine, then the 4th fails, and so on.

renis1235 · 2024-01-16T15:04:37Z

I also have this issue.
It doesn't seem to be solved.

aruhant · 2024-01-25T02:04:10Z

Check if you are accidentally disposing the ad at a wrong place.
The best practice for when to call dispose() is in the FullScreenContentCallback.onAdDismissedFullScreenContent and FullScreenContentCallback.onAdFailedToShowFullScreenContent callbacks.

renis1235 · 2024-01-26T13:12:11Z

That is exactly when I do that and it still does not work.
Only when I downgrade...

10peter10 · 2024-05-14T12:44:14Z

I am still getting "The provided view controller is not being presented." as described in previous post.. please is there any solution for this ? It only works as expected at version 2.4.0 .. but at this version CMP is not implemented, which we need in our app. Please let us know as soon as problem is solved.

dominikhalvonik · 2024-05-14T13:15:00Z

Same here, the problem is definetly not solved.

Gilianp · 2024-05-15T13:42:34Z

Same here, multiple occurrences!!

turbobuilt · 2024-06-17T23:13:26Z

This happens the first time I show the ad. But I moved the code to an external file, and that's when it all started happening.

SuYueQiuLiang · 2024-07-05T09:43:01Z

Mark,same question in newest sdk version 5.1.0, anyone has some way to fix it?

malandr2 · 2024-07-23T15:06:44Z

I have re-opened the case and have shared with engineering to take another look

malandr2 · 2024-08-14T13:32:58Z

This has been resolved with #1153 and will be included in the next google_mobile_ads plugin release
