Unity ads for godot using new export template system

Current version of the unityadsgodot-release.aar is available for download under Releases

Requirements

The new export templates for android was introduced in Godot 3.2.2. So Godot 3.2.2 and up is required

Setup

• In Godot open up the Android export template settings by going to Project -> Export.
  • Select Android and enable costom build.
  • Instal custom android build template.
• Download UnityAds Android library from here
• Open up the Godots projects android folder and create a folder called plugins if it isn't there.
• Place the unityadsgodot-release.aar inside the freshly created plugins folder along with unity-ads.aar and UnityAdsGodot.gdap.
• The min SDK version will need a update so open up the android\build\config.gradle and update minSdkVersion to 26
• Last thing is to enable this plugin under Project -> Export -> Android -> Plugins and check the checkbox besides Unity Ads Godot

Usage

Usage example is availible in AdsExampleProject in this repository but basically the code below sums it up

var addsEngine = null

# Called when the node enters the scene tree for the first time.
func _ready():
	if Engine.has_singleton("UnityAdsGodot"):
		addsEngine = Engine.get_singleton("UnityAdsGodot")
		addsEngine.connect("UnityAdsReady", self, "_on_adsReady")
		addsEngine.connect("UnityAdsFinish", self, "_on_adsFinished")
		addsEngine.connect("UnityAdsError", self, "_on_adsError")
		addsEngine.connect("UnityBannerLoaded", self, "_on_bannerLoaded")
		addsEngine.connect("UnityBannerError", self, "_on_bannerError")
		addsEngine.initialise("1687685", false) # project id and TestMode enabled
	else:
		print("Couldn't find HelloSignals singleton")

func _on_adsReady():
	print("video adds should be ready.")
	
func _on_adsFinished(placement, reason):
	reason = int(reason)
	if reason == 2:
		print("Completed")
	elif reason == 1:
		print("User skiped ad")
	else:
		print("Something went wrong")

func _on_adsError(reasonString):
	print(reasonString)
	
func _on_bannerLoaded():
	print("Banner loaded")
	
func _on_bannerError(reasonString):
	print(reasonString)

func _on_VideoAd_pressed():
	if addsEngine != null:
		addsEngine.loadAd("video")
		while !addsEngine.isReady("video"):
			pass # There should be another way to do this!
		
		addsEngine.show("video")

func _on_RewardedVideo_pressed():
	if addsEngine != null:
		addsEngine.loadAd("rewardedVideo")
		while !addsEngine.isReady("rewardedVideo"):
			pass # There should be another way to do this!
		
		addsEngine.show("rewardedVideo")


func _on_BannerAd_pressed():
	if addsEngine != null:
		addsEngine.showBanner("banners")

Compiling from source

• Clone out this repo
• Download UnityAds Android library from here and place it inside unityadsgodot\libs folder
• Download corresponding version of godot-lib.3.2.2.stable.release or godot-lib.3.2.2.stable.mono.release from here and place it again in unityadsgodot\libs folder
• Open the project in android studio and run gradlew build from terminal to build the aar libs
• Build results should be located inside unityadsgodot\build\outputs\aar
• Build output (that includes plugin description file and unityadsgodot-release.aar) can be copied to Godot projects android\plugins alongside dependencies

TODOs

• Improve documentation
• Code cleanup
• Project cleanup
• Banner ads are not working and seems that api is deprecated. Need to investigate that
• Improve setup (possibly create a script for that)
• Update error code reporting to GDScript

Known issues

• Placement id always needs to be present for some reason
• Banners are not working. Something about UnityAds: com.unity3d.services.core.api.Sdk.logError() (line:70) :: No fill for placement banners internet says that it is normal?
