CubeIO – (Unity – Admob)

Introduction

Welcome to this tutorial on how to integrate CubeIO with Admob in Unity! CubeIO is a powerful plugin that allows you to easily implement rewarded video ads, banner ads, and interstitial ads in your Unity games and apps. Admob is a popular mobile ad network that provides a wide range of ad formats and monetization options.

In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of setting up CubeIO and Admob in your Unity project, and show you how to use the CubeIO plugin to display ads in your game or app.

Prerequisites

Before you start, make sure you have the following:

• Unity 2019.3 or later installed on your computer
• CubeIO plugin installed in your Unity project
• Admob account and app ID
• Unity project set up with at least one scene

Step 1: Create an Admob Account and Set up Your App

1. Go to the Admob website and sign in with your Google account.
2. Click on "Create an account" and follow the prompts to create a new Admob account.
3. Fill out the required information, such as your name and email address.
4. Once your account is created, click on "Apps" and then "New app".
5. Fill out the required information for your app, such as its name and description.
6. Set up your app's settings, such as the platform (mobile or web) and ad formats.
7. Take note of your Admob app ID, which will be used later in the tutorial.

Step 2: Install the CubeIO Plugin

1. In your Unity project, go to the "Assets" folder and right-click on it.
2. Select "Import Package" and then "Custom Package".
3. Navigate to the CubeIO plugin installation file (usually named "CubeIO.unitypackage") and select it.
4. Follow the installation prompts to install the plugin.
5. Once installed, you should see a "CubeIO" menu item in the Unity top menu bar.

Step 3: Set up CubeIO

1. Go to the "CubeIO" menu item and select "Settings".
2. Fill out the required information, such as your Admob app ID and Admob API key.
3. Set up your ad settings, such as the ad formats and ad zones.
4. Take note of your CubeIO ad zone ID, which will be used later in the tutorial.

Step 4: Create an Admob Ad Unit

1. In your Admob account, go to the "Apps" page and select your app.
2. Click on "Create an ad unit" and select the ad format you want to use (such as rewarded video or banner ads).
3. Fill out the required information for the ad unit, such as its name and placement.
4. Take note of your Admob ad unit ID, which will be used later in the tutorial.

Step 5: Add the Admob Ad Unit to Your Unity Scene

1. In your Unity scene, create a new UI canvas.
2. Add a "Text" component to the canvas and set its text to the ad unit ID (e.g. " Rewarded Video Ad Unit").
3. Add a "Button" component to the canvas and set its text to "Show Ad".
4. Attach the "Show Ad" button to a script that will be used to display the ad.

Step 6: Write the Code to Display the Ad

1. Create a new C# script in your Unity project and attach it to the "Show Ad" button.
2. Use the following code as a starting point:

   
   using UnityEngine;
   using CubeIO;

public class AdDisplay : MonoBehaviour { private CubeIO cubeio;

void Start()
{
    cubeio = CubeIO.getInstance();
}

public void ShowAd()
{
    cubeio.showRewardedVideoAd(AdmobAdUnitId, (result) => {
        if (result)
        {
            // Ad was displayed successfully
            Debug.Log("Ad was displayed successfully");
        }
        else
        {
            // Ad did not display
            Debug.Log("Ad did not display");
        }
    });
}

}

3. Replace "AdmobAdUnitId" with your actual Admob ad unit ID.

**Step 7: Test the Ad**

1. Build and run your Unity project on a mobile device or emulator.
2. Click on the "Show Ad" button to display the ad.
3. Test the ad to ensure it is displaying correctly and earning you revenue.

**Conclusion**

That's it! You have now successfully integrated CubeIO with Admob in your Unity project and displayed a rewarded video ad. You can use the same process to display other ad formats, such as banner ads and interstitial ads. Remember to keep an eye on your ad revenue and adjust your ad settings as needed to optimize your ad performance.
