    Hello,

    I am setting up my first project with Unity Ads, and I'm very confused about entering my App Id from the Google play store.

    When I create my project on the Unity website, I need to enter my Google Play App Id here:
    https://ibb.co/dn40jd

    But when I look at my app on Google Play, I don't see an "App Id" field anywhere:
    https://ibb.co/bPpcVJ

    So then I decided to enable Unity Ads without entering the Google Play App Id, and somehow Unity generated one for me:
    https://ibb.co/f4QjAJ

    So, can anyone explain how this is possible?

    Is this just some dummy value that I need to eventually replace with the real Google Play App Id? If so, how do I find my app id on the Google Play website?

    Hi @ThirdEyeSoftware ,

    Store ID for Google Play should be the package name with the format com.XXX.XXX.

    In the third image, those are Game IDs used to initialize Unity Ads, it's not Store ID.

    Confusing labeling.
    Why not ask for package name then instead of Google Play Store ID?

    For real. It seems they try to make things as confusing as possible for small developers.

    Hey @thewizardofwicacy, sorry for the confusion.

    There are two IDs here:
    • Your Unity Ads Game ID. This is a number and used by our servers to identify your account with Unity. This is found on the Unity dashboard and used when initializing the SDK.
    • Your Google Play Store ID, sometimes called a Bundle ID. This is a string value and typically looks something like com.example.gametitle. This should appear under your game title on the Google Play Developer Console. It's not required to provide this ID, but we use it to improve the quality of the ads being shown in your application.
