So I have two view controllers in my application:

StartViewController (Root view controller) and GameViewController

I am presenting my Rewarded video from GameViewController

Everything works perfectly, except for when the user presses "Skip now" on the rewarded video. It dismisses GameViewController and goes back to StartViewController which is my root view controller.

If the user watches the entire video, it works as intended.

The code for presenting rewarded view from GameViewController:

func playReward()

 if rewardVideo!.isReady
 
 if var topController = UIApplication.shared.keyWindow?.rootViewController
 
 while let presentedViewController = topController.presentedViewController
 
 // Make top controller topmost view controller
 topController = presentedViewController
 

 rewardVideo!.present(fromRootViewController: topController)
 
 

I temporarily changed the root to GameViewController to see if this was the issue and doing so fixed it, so I know it is an issue related to the root view controller and the "Skip now" button on the rewarded video.

I had the same issue. I solved it by overriding the func dismiss(animated flag: Bool, completion: (() -> Void)? = nil method.

Here is what I did.

var didOpenRewardedVideo:Int = 0 
override func dismiss(animated flag: Bool, completion: (() -> Void)? = nil) 
 if didOpenRewardedVideo == 1 
 didOpenRewardedVideo = 2
 super.dismiss(animated: flag, completion: completion)
 
 else if didOpenRewardedVideo == 2
 didOpenRewardedVideo = 0
 
 else
 super.dismiss(animated: flag, completion: completion)
 

func showRewardedVideo()

 didOpenRewardedVideo = 1
 GADRewardBasedVideoAd.sharedInstance().present(fromRootViewController: self)

Before showing the rewardedAd, do not forget to check if it's ready or not.

GADRewardBasedVideoAd.sharedInstance().isReady == true

When rewardedAd is presented didOpenRewardedVideo is set to 1. When user dismissing rewardedAd didOpenRewardedVideo is 1 and calling super.dismiss(animated: flag, completion: completion). Then didOpenRewardedVideo is set to 2. Now I know dismiss(animated flag: Bool, completion: (() -> Void)? = nil) will be called once more. This time I don't call the super method and set didOpenRewardedVideo to 0. I know if I dismiss my UIViewController will be dismissed.

@mialkan,

your solution does not work. I don't why no one talk about this issue. I am also facing such problem.

import GoogleMobileAds import sdk in your class or viewcontroller

GADRewardBasedVideoAdDelegate Add this in your class or viewcontroller

var RewardBasedVideo: GADRewardBasedVideoAd? **initialize AdController object **

override func viewDidLoad()

 super.viewDidLoad()
 RewardBasedVideo=GADRewardBasedVideoAd.sharedInstance()
 RewardBasedVideo?.delegate = self

//MARK:- WATCH AD BUTTON CLICK

 @IBAction func WatchAdBtn_Click(_ sender: UIButton)
 
 if RewardBasedVideo?.isReady == true
 
 RewardBasedVideo?.present(fromRootViewController: self)
 else
 
 //Show alert here "Ads is not ready to load"
 


func rewardBasedVideoAdDidClose(_ rewardBasedVideoAd: GADRewardBasedVideoAd) 

 print("Reward based video ad is closed.")

For those of you who is facing the the same issue:

You can create a new class for your rootViewController (TabBarController or NavigationController etc.) and implement there something like that:

override func dismiss(animated flag: Bool, completion: (() -> Void)? = nil) 
 dismissalCounter += 1
 if (dismissalCounter < 2) 
 super.dismiss(animated: flag, completion: completion)
 


override func tabBar(_ tabBar: UITabBar, didSelect item: UITabBarItem) 
 dismissalCounter = 0


override func present(_ viewControllerToPresent: UIViewController, animated flag: Bool, completion: (() -> Void)? = nil) 
 dismissalCounter = 0
 super.present(viewControllerToPresent, animated: flag, completion: completion)


var dismissalCounter : Int = 0

Important! Use this functions inside TabBarController or NavigationController, otherwise it is not gonna work

UPD:
In my case unfortunatly it breaks all NavigationControllers inside a TabBarController (titles don't show and there are no buttons inside them), if I will figure fix actions, I'll let you know

UPD2:
Pretty obvious decision will be to change the initialViewController and view add from it, it'll not be dismissed

UPD3:
I solved this very and very strange:

class ViewController : UIViewController 
override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) 
 if GADRewardBasedVideoAd.sharedInstance().isReady == false 
 let request = GADRequest()
 rewardBasedVideo!.load(request, withAdUnitID: "ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/1712485313")
 
 

 var rewardBasedVideo: GADRewardBasedVideoAd?

 @IBAction func ad_button_click(_ sender: Any) 
 if rewardBasedVideo!.isReady == true 
 let bl = blur()
 self.present(bl, animated: true, completion: 
 self.rewardBasedVideo?.present(fromRootViewController: bl)
 )

 
 



class blur : UIViewController 
 override func viewDidLoad() 
 checkForKeyWindow()
 

 func checkForKeyWindow() 
 DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 2, execute: 
 if (UIApplication.topViewController() == self) 
 print("dismissed and forgotten")
 self.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
 else 
 print("not keywindow")
 self.checkForKeyWindow()
 
 )
 

 @objc func close() 
 self.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
 


extension UIApplication 
 class func topViewController(base: UIViewController? = UIApplication.shared.keyWindow?.rootViewController) -> UIViewController? 

 if let nav = base as? UINavigationController 
 return topViewController(base: nav.visibleViewController)
 

 if let tab = base as? UITabBarController 
 let moreNavigationController = tab.moreNavigationController

 if let top = moreNavigationController.topViewController, top.view.window != nil 
 return topViewController(base: top)
 else if let selected = tab.selectedViewController 
 return topViewController(base: selected)
 
 

 if let presented = base?.presentedViewController 
 return topViewController(base: presented)
 

 return base
