Ads stretching in samsung (android 12)

Viewed 27

Since april this year my app is not displaying correctly the advertisements.

It happens only in samsung devices, with android 12. It's not a problem with any particular ad, even the example ad from admanager ("/6499/example/banner") is stretched (see images below).

After some research, i found the culprit in the "game optimization service" of samsung (~game booster). My app is identified as a game by the gos, so it "optimizes" the webview that shows this ad. It seems to be related to this post: Android WebView stuck zoomed in after update The previous question points to this chromium issue https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1305201, but none of the solutions work in my case. I cannot control neither the webview nor the content. As suggested there, installing the "game plugins" i can disable the game booster, and then i see the right image. I read https://developer.android.com/games/gamemode/gamemode-interventions, with no success. None of those optimizations appears to affect what samsung does. (Exception: adb shell cmd game downscale 0.6 <PACKAGE_NAME> fixes it in my phone).

I run out of ideas. Did someone come across this issue? Is there any workaround? Is there a way to opt-out from this optimizations from samsung? Should it be fixed by me, google admanager or samsung?

Graphical explanation of what i mean by "stretched":

It should be seen this way: normal example banner but it is seen this other way: stretched example banner
