Usage Example

Here is a minimal example of using the plugin:

import 'package:unity_ads_plugin/unity_ads_plugin.dart';

void main() {
  UnityAds.init(
    gameId: 'YOUR_GAME_ID',
    testMode: true,
    onComplete: () => print('Unity Ads Initialized'),
    onFailed: (error, message) => print('Unity Ads Initialization Failed: $error $message'),
  );
}

For more detailed usage, see the Getting Started section.

Getting Started

1. Initialization

UnityAds.init(
  gameId: 'PROJECT_GAME_ID',
  onComplete: () => print('Initialization Complete'),
  onFailed: (error, message) => print('Initialization Failed: $error $message'),
);

Set your Game ID. For testing purposes, set testMode to true.

UnityAds.isInitialized() can be used to check if the SDK has initialized successfully.

---

Android only: To change ad behavior in Firebase Test Lab, use the firebaseTestLabMode parameter. Possible values:

Mode	Description
disableAds	Ads are not displayed in Firebase Test Lab (default)
showAdsInTestMode	Ads are displayed in test mode.
showAds	Real ads are displayed if testMode is false.

2. Show Rewarded/Interstitial Video Ad

Rewarded Video Ad Interstitial Video Ad

Load a video ad before showing it.

UnityAds.load(
  placementId: 'PLACEMENT_ID',
  onComplete: (placementId) => print('Load Complete $placementId'),
  onFailed: (placementId, error, message) => print('Load Failed $placementId: $error $message'),
);

Show a loaded ad.

UnityAds.showVideoAd(
  placementId: 'PLACEMENT_ID',
  onStart: (placementId) => print('Video Ad $placementId started'),
  onClick: (placementId) => print('Video Ad $placementId click'),
  onSkipped: (placementId) => print('Video Ad $placementId skipped'),
  onComplete: (placementId) => print('Video Ad $placementId completed'),
  onFailed: (placementId, error, message) => print('Video Ad $placementId failed: $error $message'),
);

Server-to-server Redeem Callbacks

UnityAds.showVideoAd has a serverId parameter. To use server-to-server callbacks, set this parameter. Read more at docs.unity.com.

3. Show Banner Ad

Banner Ad

Place the UnityBannerAd widget in your app.

UnityBannerAd(
  placementId: 'PLACEMENT_ID',
  onLoad: (placementId) => print('Banner loaded: $placementId'),
  onClick: (placementId) => print('Banner clicked: $placementId'),
  onShown: (placementId) => print('Banner shown: $placementId'),
  onFailed: (placementId, error, message) => print('Banner Ad $placementId failed: $error $message'),
)

UnityAds.setPrivacyConsent(<Privacy Consent type>, true)

Troubleshooting

Android: the ad shows up as a separate app in Recent Apps

Symptom. While a fullscreen ad is playing, Recent Apps shows two cards for your app — your app and the ad. Users can swipe the ad away before it completes, so the impression is lost.

Fix. Remove one line from your app's android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml:

<activity
    android:name=".MainActivity"
    android:taskAffinity=""     <!-- remove this line -->
    ...>

Flutter's template adds that blank affinity; Unity's ad screen keeps the default one. Android puts screens with different affinities in different tasks — hence the second card. Removing it puts the ad back in your app's task.

Trade-off. The attribute guards against task hijacking (flutter#144018), which Android patches at the OS level from API 30. On minSdk 30+ removing it costs nothing; below that, users on Android 7–10 lose partial protection — raising minSdk to 30 fixes both concerns at once.

Adding excludeFromRecents to Unity's ad activity does not work as an alternative. See issue #70.
