    Hi guys.. so when i was trying this https://github.com/Applifier/unity-ads-demo i go an error
    Code (CSharp):
    1. Assets/SpaceAds/Scripts/UnityAdsHelper.cs(10,19): error CS0234: The type or namespace name `Advertisements' does not exist in the namespace `UnityEngine'. Are you missing an assembly reference?
    2.  
    why the namespace doesn't exist ? and when i clicked that script, it won't open the visual studio.. so i opened that with sublime text
    Thank you

    Hi,

    Which platform are you building for? Ads is only supported currently on iOS and Android, and you can use

    Code (CSharp):
    1. #if UNITY_ADS
    2. using UnityEngine.Advertisements;
    3. #endif
    4.  
    5. (...)
    6.  
    7. #if UNITY_ADS
    8. Advertisement.Show();
    9. #endif
    to make it compile on other platforms.

    /Rasmus

    I have the same issue with 5.5.0f3. I have set it to android, but get this compiler error. How did you manage to solve it?

    Simple solution that worked for me: Switch Unity Ads OFF, save the project, close Unity. Run Unity again, open the project, switch the Unity Ads back ON.

    Solution:

    ==========

    A simple solution that worked for me:

    Add windows ==> services ==> create a link by selecting project name and etc. after login

    Switch Unity Ads OFF switch the Unity Ads back ON., save the project, close Unity. Run Unity again, open the project,

    Those solutions (from Janibasha and Loomabox) don't work for me :(

    This is strange - when I open my old project there is no errors. But when I copy this old project (to use as a template) , paste it, change name and link to new created project on unity www dashboards I have this error :(


    Edit: Ufff, now it's working :)
    I used information from those theards:

    https://forum.unity3d.com/threads/t...6720.15356817.1496177518-113052110.1489970827

    https://forum.unity3d.com/threads/how-to-troubleshoot-unity-5-5-integrations.443908/
    1. 1. Edit > Project Settings > Editor
      2. Asset Serialization > mode -> Force text
      3. In Finder, open either [Unity project] > ProjectSettings > `UnityAdsSettings.asset` OR `UnityConnectSettings.asset`
      4. Locate these properties, and enable them like so:

      UnityAdsSettings:
      m_Enabled: 1
      m_InitializeOnStartup: 1
    And for android on "m_EnabledPlatforms:" should be: 4294967295

    (m_EnabledPlatforms: 4294967295)

    I'm also having this issue. Ads were working fine, then I unlinked the project and linked it to a new project, now Ads are not initializing on Android. Tried all the above suggestions... currently on 5.6.1p1.

    Should note that Analytics works fine with the new projectID, as does purchasing just not Ads, seems as though "Enable builtin Ads extension" is maybe not working for us?

    Using Unity 5.6.2 and I am getting Assets/Scripts/GameManager.cs(3,19): error CS0234: The type or namespace name `Advertisements' does not exist in the namespace `UnityEngine'. Are you missing an assembly reference?

    Ads is enabled as a service with a linked project ID, following the off/on steps mentioned in previous posts didn't do anything. Even deleted and regenerated the .sln file.

    Anyone still having this problem?

    Those solutions worked for me before.

    However, now that I'm on 2017.1.3p2, I tried the above solutions and they didn't work. It also could be because I rolled back to a previous version in my Collab History.

    So I searched and found another solution:

    https://stackoverflow.com/questions...ityengine-advertisements-library-inaccessible

    In short, re-importing Unity Ads from the Asset Store worked without doing anything else. I pressed Play, and the errors were gone.

    None of the Solutions worked for me...
    But finally, I found a solution that did work!

    Go to the Unity Asset store and Search "Unity Ads".
    Download the latest version of Unity ads by "Unity technologies".
    and the problem should be solved!

    it can be solved by following these steps:

    -close unity (save your project)

    -go to project settings folder under the your project directory

    - delete these two files 1. UnityAdsSettings.assets 2. UnityConnectionSettings.assets

    -now re-open your project and turn on unity ads under services, you will not see the error again.

    I dont get it why unity devs dont test if this unityads ads will work on certain versions of unity.
    Im just starting my project and I cant even pass to this unity ads implementation, a simple advertisement that is cannot seen when compiled even you download and imported the latest unityads in assetstore.
    cant even start my project in unity 5.5.6
    tried all those help above and nothing works

    Is it possible to set this in default whenever you will create a new project at start, so you dont need to go to projectsettings and edit this before the unityads bug will disappear.
