Introduction to Switch Bird Admob

In today's world, monetizing a mobile game is a crucial aspect of its success. With millions of games available on the App Store and Google Play, developers need to find ways to stand out and attract users. One of the most effective ways to do this is by integrating advertising into your game. Admob is a popular ad network that provides developers with a platform to monetize their apps.

Switch Bird is a popular game developed by Futoo that has gained massive popularity due to its simple yet addictive gameplay. As a result, many developers have asked how to integrate Admob into their own versions of the game. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the process of integrating Admob into your Switch Bird game, so you can monetize your app and reach a wider audience.

Step 1: Creating an Admob Account

Before you start integrating Admob into your game, you need to create an Admob account. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Go to the Admob website (www.admob.com) and click on "Sign Up".
2. Fill in the required information, including your name, email address, and password.
3. Verify your email address by clicking on the link sent to you by Admob.
4. Log in to your Admob account and go to the "Create Ad Unit" page.

Step 2: Creating Ad Units

In this step, you will create Ad Units that will display ads in your game. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Click on "Create Ad Unit" and select the type of ad you want to display (Banner, Interstitial, or Rewarded Video).
2. Fill in the required information, including the Ad Unit name, Ad Placement, and Ad Format.
3. Select the platform you want to display ads on (iOS or Android).
4. Click "Create Ad Unit" to create your Ad Unit.

Step 3: Integrating Admob into Your Game

Now that you have created your Ad Unit, it's time to integrate Admob into your game. To do this, follow these steps:

For Android

1. Add the following dependency to your Android app's build.gradle file:

   dependencies {
   implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:21.3.0'
   }

2. Initialize Admob in your Android game's main activity:

   
   import com.google.android.gms.ads.MobileAds;
   import com.google.android.gms.ads.initialization InitializationStatus;

MobileAds.initialize(this, "YOUR_AD_UNIT_ID");

3. Create a Banner Ad:
```java
AdView bannerAd = new AdView(this);
bannerAd.setAdSize(AdSize.SMART_BANNER);
bannerAd.setAdUnitId("YOUR_BANNER_AD_UNIT_ID");
RelativeLayout layout = (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.banner_ad);
layout.addView(bannerAd);
MobileAds.initialize(this, "YOUR_BANNER_AD_UNIT_ID");
bannerAd.loadAd(new AdRequest());

For iOS

1. Add the following framework to your Xcode project:

   import GoogleMobileAds

2. Initialize Admob in your iOS game's AppDelegate:

   GADMobileAds.sharedInstance().start()

3. Create a Banner Ad:

   let bannerView = GADBannerView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 320, height: 50))
   bannerView.adUnitID = "YOUR_BANNER_AD_UNIT_ID"
   bannerView.rootViewController = self
   self.view.addSubview(bannerView)
   GADRequest request = [GADRequest request];
   [request setTestDevices:@[GAD_SIMULATOR_ID]];
   [bannerView loadRequest:request];

   Step 4: Testing Your Ad Unit

Before you can monetize your game, you need to test your Ad Unit to ensure it's working correctly. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Open your Admob account and go to the "Monetization" tab.
2. Click on the Ad Unit you created earlier and select "Test Ad".
3. Run your game on a device or emulator and display the ad.
4. Check that the ad is displayed correctly and that it's interactive.

Step 5: Monetizing Your Game

Once you have tested your Ad Unit and confirmed that it's working correctly, you can monetize your game. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Open your Admob account and go to the "Monetization" tab.
2. Click on the Ad Unit you created earlier and select "Enable".
3. Set your Ad Unit to receive revenue.

And that's it! You have successfully integrated Admob into your Switch Bird game. By following these steps, you can monetize your game and earn revenue from advertising. Remember to regularly check your Admob account to track your earnings and adjust your ad settings as needed.
