Bug Report: Interstitial & Rewarded Ads close on Android Back Button press (Beta Server)

Diamondly · July 27, 2026, 6:20pm

Dear Niotron Team,

I hope you are doing well.

I recently tested my app on the Niotron Beta Server and noticed a recurring issue with Google AdMob implementation.

Issue Description: When an Interstitial or Rewarded Ad is displayed, pressing the device’s bottom navigation back button immediately closes the ad.

Expected Behavior: The ad should not close when the user presses the back button. According to standard AdMob policies and user flow, the ad should only close when the user manually clicks the explicit close/dismiss button (X) provided by the ad unit inside the top corner.

Impact: This causes unexpected ad dismissals, loss of impressions, and potential issues with Rewarded Ads where rewards might fail to trigger properly or get triggered unintentionally.

Please check this issue in the beta server and fix the back-button override mechanism for AdMob components before the next stable release.

Thanks for your hard work and continuous support!

I reviewed the recent update, but the issue persists. This is a severe policy violation according to AdMob SDK guidelines. @abhijith

Dear, I am unable to publish further updates for my app on the Google Play Console because of this issue. Could you please investigate and resolve this as soon as possible?

I have released a patch for it in beta. Could you test your application in beta and let me know if it works for you.
