[Admob] known inconsistencies between Android and iOS?

Hello everyone, when testing ads with the admob extension, I run into some issues with the iOS version of my app that I didn’t encounter at all with the Android version.

The most important one is that the iOS version doesn’t get a callback when an interstitial ad is closed. I press the little “x” and the ad is shut, but I don’t get the “EVENT_CLOSED: Interstitial AD closed”, contratry to Android. All other messages are here on both versions (loading the ad, showing the ad etc).

Edit : After coming back a few hours later the issue seemingly disappeared, might have been linked to Google’s servers I guess?

The second one is that reloading a banner a second time on iOS will put the banner and all the following on top of the screen, regardless of the fact that it is programmed to be shown on the bottom.

Finally, Android successfully take switching Portrait / Landscape mode into account when a banner is shown, while iOS just hides the banner upon going landscape. Except when I reloaded it like in the previous issue, then it adapts and stays on top.

So I’m just making sure that those issues aren’t already known, with no known workarounds or fundamental pitfalls. If this is a bug I will make a bug report on GitHiub! Thank you!

It would be better to create a separate ticket for each issue in the AdMob repo. Thank you.
