Googleads-mobile-unity: v5.4.0 Warning: You are trying to create a MonoBehaviour using the 'new' keyword. This is not allowed

[max-tu]

[REQUIRED] Step 1: Describe your environment

• Unity version: 2019.3.2f1, 2020.3.0f1
• Google Mobile Ads Unity plugin version: 5.4.0
• Platform: _____ ( Unity Editor)
• Platform OS version: _____ ( iOS 10 and Android 9)
• Any specific devices issue occurs on: window10 and macOS Big Sur
• Mediation ad networks used, and their versions: admob

[REQUIRED] Step 2: Warning every time run project in unity editor

Steps to reproduce:

When press Play button on unity editor, at first time request a banner ads, warning show in console.

You are trying to create a MonoBehaviour using the 'new' keyword. This is not allowed. MonoBehaviours can only be added using AddComponent(). Alternatively, your script can inherit from ScriptableObject or no base class at all
UnityEngine.MonoBehaviour:.ctor()
ButtonBehaviour:.ctor()
GoogleMobileAds.Unity.BannerClient:CreateButtonBehavior() (at Assets/GoogleMobileAds/Platforms/Unity/BannerClient.cs:64)
GoogleMobileAds.Unity.BannerClient:ShowBannerView() (at Assets/GoogleMobileAds/Platforms/Unity/BannerClient.cs:143)
GoogleMobileAds.Unity.BannerClient:LoadAd(AdRequest) (at Assets/GoogleMobileAds/Platforms/Unity/BannerClient.cs:123)
GoogleMobileAds.Api.BannerView:LoadAd(AdRequest) (at Assets/GoogleMobileAds/Api/BannerView.cs:61)

Relevant Code:

private BannerView bannerView;

call this function:

this.bannerView.LoadAd();

[max-tu]

The problem at the line buttonBehaviour = new ButtonBehaviour();
in CreateButtonBehavior function
in AssetsGoogleMobileAdsPlatformsUnityBannerClient.cs

I replaced this line buttonBehaviour = new ButtonBehaviour();
with lines:
GameObject ob=new GameObject();
ob.AddComponent();
buttonBehaviour = ob.GetComponent();

And warnings gone.

Hope to help someone like me.

First huge problems with the Firebase plugins, had to downgrade to a months old version to work, now we are forced to upgrade due to IOS 14 and they new a MonoBehaviour right in the main code... This is absurd, why can't google with all their billions hire a developer for this widely use plugin they make money out of?

[krupasknr]

I replaced it with "GameObject go = new GameObject();

        buttonBehaviour = go.AddComponent<ButtonBehaviour>();"

and it works
and error gone.

Is there any reliable fork (with relavent release package) that includes this fix? Just because of this, the official releases are unusable for me and I do not understand how they are usable for others.

(I recommend changing the subject of this issue as it is not just related to v5.4.0.)

[krupasknr]

don't worry about that don't change anything, It's just a warning and
that's too only for showing ad templates in unity. I didn't change a thing
and the ads working on my games fine.
Peace...

Thank you for sharing your experience, it is nice to know it does not break anything; but, the problem is it is the only warning in my console. I have been working with zero warning policy. (warning = error)

[krupasknr]

yeah... me too.. That's why I tried some 2 line program to get rid of that
error and I did get rid of that error. With or without it the Ad serving
will be fine. If you want those two lines... let me know...

Thank you, I used your fix (taken from above). I downloaded the release package, deleted Assets > GoogleMobileAds > "GoogleMobileAds.Unity" and instead, I used the source code of the Unity plugin directory located in this repository. Then, I applied your fix.

This is ugly as I broke maintainability but I had to. I hope this is fixed by the maintainers soon so it can be included in the official release package.

[krupasknr]

Okay.. All the Best to you...

This issue persists in the very latest version of the library. Is this going to be fixed?

[Radu6]

In the final version the plugin contains only dlls and now I can't change the code myself to fix this problem. Why is this taking so long to fix, some fixes were already suggested in this thread alone?
