    Currently, when a Unity Ad is playing on Amazon Fire TV and the app loses focus, the ad pauses, but on returning to the app there is no way to resume playback of the ad, causing the app to be locked. Unity Ads is currently unusable on Fire TV until this is fixed.

    Hi,

    Unity Ads currently only supports iOS and Android(Google Play Store). While you can technically initialize ads on Amazon devices in some cases, it will not monetize and is not supported.

    We'd like to support more platforms in the future, however our current focus is on improvements of the current SDK and integrations. Any news or announcements will be posted on the forums, blog, and twitter.

    My apologies for the inconvenience!
    -Amanda

    It seems crazy not to support this platform. The ads show fine, all that's required is a way to click them by pressing a button and actual revenue being generated instead of displaying the ads for free.

    Unfortunately, our system simply does not support additional Android storefronts yet. It is something we plan to support, but we have other priorities to address at the moment.

    For the time being, we recommend not using Unity Ads with apps distributed through the Amazon market, since in most cases they will not be able to monetize any impressions.
