Inizia riproducendo il problema dei callback con Xamarin.GooglePlayServices.Ads e ispeziona le classi callback interessate elencate nell’issue, incluse InterstitialAdLoadCallback e RewardedAdLoadCallback. Confronta le firme dei callback esposte con i tipi Android descritti nel report. Il lavoro è completato quando i callback interessati espongono override tipizzati utilizzabili e i problemi di compilazione e collisione JNI segnalati non si verificano più.

Description

I find it surprising that there is no unified issue addressing this, despite numerous reports scattered across the internet and users creating their own plugins to workaround this problem.

This issue has been present since 2021, making the Xamarin.GooglePlayServices.Ads library completely unusable. I am currently testing with the latest version 123.6.0.1, released on January 22, 2025.

Despite new versions being released, the issue has persisted for four years. There are multiple workarounds available, such as the one proposed here:
https://gist.github.com/dtaylorus/63fef408cec34999a1e566bd5fac27e5

However, in all related issues that get opened, people spam their own NuGet packages (mostly paid) that merely implement the same workaround.

But... how is it possible that no official issue exists here, and no serious fix is being considered?
Am I the only one using MAUI and AdMob? I am not deeply familiar with the inner workings of these libraries or how official they are in MAUI, but it is unfortunate that they remain broken, given MAUI's potential.

The Problem:

AdMob callbacks are implemented in classes where methods are overridden. However, many of these callbacks are not properly adapted in the C# bindings.

Example:

For implementing an Interstitial Ad (Android.Gms.Ads.Interstitial.InterstitialAd), an instance of the Android.Gms.Ads.Interstitial.InterstitialAdLoadCallback class must be passed to handle the callbacks.

Before the library broke five years ago, the correct implementation was:

public class InterstitialCallbackImplementation : Android.Gms.Ads.Interstitial.InterstitialAdLoadCallback {
    public override void OnInterstitialAdLoaded(InterstitialAd interstitialAd) {
        base.OnInterstitialAdLoaded(interstitialAd);
        // Ok
    }

    public override void OnAdFailedToLoad(LoadAdError e) {
        base.OnAdFailedToLoad(e);
        // Fail
    }
}

However, now the method OnInterstitialAdLoaded(InterstitialAd interstitialAd) does not exist for override.
Instead, there is another method:

public override void OnAdLoaded(Java.Lang.Object p0)

The binding does not correctly identify p0 as its corresponding type, InterstitialAd.

At first glance, this might seem like a minor issue—one could cast p0 as Android.Gms.Ads.Interstitial.InterstitialAd.

However, this does not work. Trying to do so results in compilation failures, JNI collisions, and a host of other issues.

With all the effort behind these libraries, it's baffling that a few improperly adapted parameters have rendered them completely unusable for five years.

Affected Classes:

com/google/android/gms/ads/admanager/AdManagerInterstitialAdLoadCallback

com/google/android/gms/ads/appopen/AppOpenAd$AppOpenAdLoadCallback

com/google/android/gms/ads/interstitial/InterstitialAdLoadCallback

com/google/android/gms/ads/rewarded/RewardedAdLoadCallback

com/google/android/gms/ads/rewardedinterstitial/RewardedInterstitialAdLoadCallback

Android.Gms.Ads.NativeAd.NativeAd.IOnNativeAdLoadedListener

Questions:

What is the current status of these libraries?

How is it possible that such a critical issue remains unresolved for so long?

Thank you.
