[OLD/BROKEN] Legacy AdMob Plugin for Unity3D for Android IOS

Hey guys. Allot of people seems to be missing this new plugin created by the folks over at Google. Just wanted to share it and all its glory. I have used it in my recent game and I am pretty happy with it so far. I cant wait to combine it with the Unity Cloud ads!

thanks for sharing.

could you try this plugin?. I was thinking to use the native admob sdk on my game exporting it as eclipse project.

 

I tried this plugin and i works ok for the android .If I use it on the IOS my game freezes the moment that I call an add request

 

Yeah I remember my first time IOS integration not being so smooth. I think I remember things like the SDK was not copied over to the plugins folder and had to put that in manually. As well as set the proper framework permissions mentioned here in #3 of the IOS tab:
https://developers.google.com/mobile-ads-sdk/docs/#ios

"3. The SDK library references the following iOS development frameworks which may not already be part of your project:

AdSupport
AudioToolbox
AVFoundation
CoreGraphics
MessageUI
StoreKit
SystemConfiguration"

Otherwise it works great for me on IOS Android.

 

I had found the dependencies of these frameworks cause without them there was a linking error but i have the run time error where my game just crushes when It makes an ad request. Then plugin must be copied admob manually yes, this must be done in the android version too. In general google should do better job with the Unity plugin cause right now it sucks.

 

Hi!

Did you find a way to resolve the freeze problem? This is happening with me and I've no more ideas how to resolve this...

 

hi,there in order to get ads on iOS with no problems at all do these steps:
1-open your unity 3d project in Xcode
2-add admob sdk files without addon folder
3-in xcode go to your target then general tab then linked framework and libraries then add these
AdSupport
AudioToolbox
AVFoundation
CoreGraphics
MessageUI
StoreKit
SystemConfiguration"
4-remove libiphone-lib.a from linked framework and libraries and add it again
5-go to target build settings tab then other linker flag then input -ObjC
6-test on your device and you are done

 

If you still have freezes you probably missed this step:

go to target build settings tab then other linker flag then input -ObjC

 

Does all these steps have to be done for each build?

 

It works with the included default Publisher ID, which is from the legacy AdMob, but when I put the new "ca-app-pub-#####/####" kind of ID it does not work. Nothing else changed. Do you have the same issue?

 

keep getting "Failed to receive ad with error: Request Error: No ad to show." output in the console. I am also using the new ID type. Anybody ran into this before? All these fragmentation in services is really driving me nut. I literally spend much less time on the game itself than making it compatible with the services out there. First I got admob for android to work, then got amazon ads to work to qualify for their dev program, and now need to get admob for IOS. sigh.

EDIT: I got the ads to show up. Not sure how since I did a bunch of things in between the builds. Here are list of things I did.
- Create an IOS app profile on admob and use that specific ID. ( I was using my existing ad ID for the android version of my game previously.)
- Re-Import the entire google ad SDK folder (minus the addon) into the "Classes" folder instead of just the individual files.
- Add CoreTelephony. (xcode wouldn't build without it after I re-Import the google ad sdk folder.

Not sure which one of those was the reasons. Oh well, at least it works now.

Now does anybody know how to move the position of the ad horizontally? It defaults on the Left side. I need it on the right.

 

There is a new version of the Google Mobile Ads SDK Plugin that seems to simplify the process of getting ads running via AdMob. I put together a quick how to on using it along with the demo script, here

i need tutorial step by step how to use this plugin.Thanks!

 

The plugin has a README available at https://github.com/googleads/googleads-mobile-plugins/blob/master/unity/README.md and there is also a guide on getting started at http://wewritecode.com/2014/04/13/setting-admob-android-ios-unity/

 

From https://developers.google.com/mobile-ads-sdk/ : "On August 1, 2014, Google Play will stop accepting new or updated apps that use the old standalone Google Mobile Ads SDK v6.4.1 or lower. You must upgrade to the Google Play version of the Mobile Ads SDK by then."

Does this plugin use a newer version then SDK v6.4.1?

 

In the "readme" i have read that this plugin use the SDK 6.4.1.
I need to know if there will be an update of this plugin

give me solution

 

Guys this plugin uses the Legacy admob, DO NOT USE IT and switch to a new plugin which uses the Google Play services SDK if you want it to work.
