Navigation Bar Visible Over Full-Screen Ads on Android 15 with Unity Mediation #4054

Description

@MayisGM

[REQUIRED] Step 1: Describe your environment

  • Unity version: Unity 2021.3.45f2
  • Google Mobile Ads Unity plugin version: 10.6.0
  • Plugin installation method: .unitypackage import
  • Platform: Android
  • Platform OS version: Android 15, Android 16
  • Any specific devices issue occurs on: no specific device, can affect all
  • Mediation ad networks used, and their versions: Unity Ads Unity Mediation Plugin 3.16.5

[REQUIRED] Step 2: Describe the problem

My app is now targeting Android 15 (API level 35) due to the new Google Play requirements.

However, I’ve encountered a critical issue: when a full-screen ad is shown, the Android system navigation bar remains visible and overlaps the ad content, especially the close or skip buttons. This is breaking the user experience and violates Play Store UI guidelines. It seems to be related to the new edge-to-edge system window behavior introduced in Android 15.

This issue is critical for our upcoming update. We are unable to remove the Unity Mediation Plugin from our game because it generates a significant portion of our revenue. At the same time, we cannot proceed with advertising in its current state due to the poor ad quality. Releasing the update under these conditions would negatively impact the overall player experience.

Could you provide an estimated timeline for when this issue will be resolved? Also, are there any temporary solutions you can suggest until a permanent fix is available?
