Mediation help please needed to Admob | Voxel Busters | Page 1

#

you mentioned this:

We allow mediation configuration via the ad networks tools only.
For ex:
Scenario 1: Let's say you want to add AdMob alone.
Fill in the app id and ad unit ids in our settings.

Scenario 2: Let's say you want to add AdMob with any mediation.
Fill in the app id and ad unit ids in our settings.
Configure your mediation related things in the AdMob(or related Ad network) plugin inspector.

There are no special steps if you use mediation or not w.r.t to Ads Kit. It controls the AdNetwork which can have mediation or no mediation.

i want to do scenario 2
i having a few questions:

what is the "plugin inspector" you mentioned? is this in ads kit or the admob web browser dashboard?
im migrating from gley, do i remove the old "GoogleMobileAds" plugin/package? because in your guide video you didn't install anything else but the ads kit
i watched a tutorial, if i want admob with apploving adapter mediation i have to import another package which can be done through openupm
so am i right to say for admob mediation i will need to import ads kit unity package and the applovin adapter mediation pacakge from openupm? admob sdk package is already bundled with ads kit so it's not needed right?

#

@dusky meadow sorry if basic questions 🥹

vivid gust Nov 26, 2025, 1:25 PM

#

i dont think it's an easy migration......

#

this is my current code:

    //----------------------------------------------------------------
    /// <summary>
    /// Button click function.
    /// </summary>
    public void ShowFreeGemsRewardedVideo()
    {
        // First reward of the day is free.
        if (dailyGemsRewardedVideoWatched == 0) FreeGemsRewardedVideoWatched(true);
        else
        {
            if (freeGemsButtonDisabled == true)
            {
                AlertPopupsManager.Instance.ToastMessage($"Ads unavailable. Please wait a bit.", AlertPopupsManager.ToastStyles.Info);
                return;
            }
            // VoxelBusters.AdsKit.AdsManager.ShowAd(placementId); // < ----- HOW TO MAKE THIS SIMILAR TO THE LINE FROM GLEY BELOW??
            Gley.MobileAds.API.ShowRewardedVideo(FreeGemsRewardedVideoWatched);
        }

        ++dailyGemsRewardedVideoWatched;

        UpdateRewardedVideoButtons();
    }


    //----------------------------------------------------------------
    private void FreeGemsRewardedVideoWatched(bool completed)
    {
        if (completed)
        {
            WalletInventoryManager.Instance.AddCurrency(WalletInventoryManager.Instance.GemsCurrency, 30, WalletInventoryEventTypes.AddAnimated, true);
        }
    }

there is no callback similar to gley right? im stuck 🥹

dusky meadow Nov 26, 2025, 3:00 PM

#

Ok, pls let me go through.

#

Use the following at the top of your script

using VoxelBusters.AdsKit;

Rewarded Video's reward callback timing is different on different ad networks. so we have two events in place (1. OnAdFinish, 2. OnAdReward)

     var operation = AdsManager.ShowAd(placementId);

      operation.OnAdFinish += (adContent) =>
      {
          OnFreeGemsRewardedVideoFinish();
      };

      operation.OnAdReward += ((AdContent adContent, AdReward adReward) data) =>
      {
          OnFreeGemsRewardedVideoReward(data.adReward);
      };

private void OnFreeGemsRewardedVideoFinish()
{
  Debug.Log("Video got closed");
}

private void OnFreeGemsRewardedVideoReward(AdReward reward)
{
   var amountToReward =  reward.IsRewardAmountAvailable() ? reward.Amount : 30;
   WalletInventoryManager.Instance.AddCurrency(WalletInventoryManager.Instance.GemsCurrency, 30, WalletInventoryEventTypes.AddAnimated, true);
}

#

Might look complex but more flexible and can do a lot more.

#

In step 2 -> We are taking the show operation into a variable and registering its callbacks. As the order of Ad close/finish event and Ad Reward event are not gaurenteed, there are two different events.

#

Also, Note that, the same code works for any ad type. For rewarded ads, OnAdReward gets invoked, for rest wont get invoked.

#

If you have any questions, happy to clarify.

thank you!! ill try it in a bit ❤️

i want to do scenario 2
i having a few questions:

what is the "plugin inspector" you mentioned? is this in ads kit or the admob web browser dashboard?

im migrating from gley, do i remove the old "GoogleMobileAds" plugin/package? because in your guide video you didn't install anything else but the ads kit

i watched a tutorial, if i want admob with apploving adapter mediation i have to import another package which can be done through openupm
so am i right to say for admob mediation i will need to import ads kit unity package and the applovin adapter mediation pacakge from openupm? admob sdk package is already bundled with ads kit so it's not needed right?

dusky meadow Nov 26, 2025, 4:33 PM

what is the "plugin inspector" you mentioned? is this in ads kit or the admob web browser dashboard?
You need to follow this guide for adding applovin as mediation adapter to admob - https://developers.google.com/admob/unity/mediation/applovin

im migrating from gley, do i remove the old "GoogleMobileAds" plugin/package? because in your guide video you didn't install anything else but the ads kit
You can delete and download the latest one from github or keep it if its already up to date

i watched a tutorial, if i want admob with apploving adapter mediation i have to import another package which can be done through openupm
so am i right to say for admob mediation i will need to import ads kit unity package and the applovin adapter mediation pacakge from openupm? admob sdk package is already bundled with ads kit so it's not needed right?
Yes for most of it. For license reasons, we haven't included with ads kit package. We guide to download the admob package.

vivid gust Feb 26, 2026, 7:31 PM

hii!!
i got back to working on this, took a break because i was overwhelmed lol
i need some help
i have this code:

            if (Gley.MobileAds.API.IsRewardedVideoAvailable())
            {
                FreeGold.SetProductData("", "Gold", $"{dailyGoldRewardedVideoLimit - dailyGoldRewardedVideoWatched}/{dailyGoldRewardedVideoLimit - 1}");
                freeGoldButtonDisabled = false;
            }
            else
            {
                FreeGold.SetProductData("", "Gold", "N.A.");
                freeGoldButtonDisabled = true;
            }

i've been trying to find something same in adskit but i cannot. how to check if a rewarded ad is available IsRewardedVideoAvailable?

vivid gust Feb 27, 2026, 2:50 AM

#

i got it!!!
AdsManager.GetAdPlacementState("RewardedVideo") == AdPlacementState.Ready

vivid gust Feb 27, 2026, 4:20 AM

#

i have a serious issue. why do i keep getting this?

vivid gust Feb 27, 2026, 4:24 AM

#

dusky meadow > what is the "plugin inspector" you mentioned? is this in ads kit or the admob ...

here you mentioned this link: https://developers.google.com/admob/unity/mediation/applovin
so i also followed: https://developers.google.com/admob/unity/quick-start

and i moved from using a .unitypackage to using open upm

also note that, both essential kit and ads kit provides the external dependency manager of version 1.2.186
when adding admob package from open upm (google admob v10.6.0) it comes bundled with external dependency manager v1.2.186
so i deleted the one that was added by essential kit and ads kit (will this be an issue?)

#

🥹

#

i cannot proceed because adskit say i dont have admob but it is there

dusky meadow Feb 27, 2026, 4:30 AM

#

so i deleted the one that was added by essential kit and ads kit (will this be an issue?)
That's fine. No problem. Just have any one of those.

dusky meadow Feb 27, 2026, 4:31 AM

#

vivid gust i cannot proceed because adskit say i dont have admob but it is there

Got it.
For now drop using open upm as we check the path for admob existence at Assets/GoogleAdMob so its showing that dialog.
I will support openupm and local upm in coming update.

#

Will that work for you meanwhile to progress?

#

If you need steps on resolving above, I can help you on what to do.

vivid gust Feb 27, 2026, 4:35 AM

#

ok i understand
let me try to remove admob from upm and add it directly to assets
i'll let you know if there is issues

but quick question, if "For now drop using open upm as we check the path for admob existence at Assets/GoogleAdMob so its showing that dialog."
wont it be quicker for me to go in and edit the path?
when you update, it will overwrite my changes and it will still work right?

dusky meadow Feb 27, 2026, 4:40 AM

#

whats your upm installed path?

vivid gust Feb 27, 2026, 4:41 AM

#

erm.. let me check

#

here
which is
Packages/com.google.ads.mobile
Packages/com.google.external-dependency-manager

dusky meadow Feb 27, 2026, 4:43 AM

#

try updating this file once?

📎 GoogleMobileAdsAsset.cs

dusky meadow Feb 27, 2026, 4:44 AM

#

vivid gust ok i understand let me try to remove admob from upm and add it directly to asset...

This approach works. But I wanted to test before I suggest that, so wanted to revert. Anyways, try the above file once.

vivid gust Feb 27, 2026, 4:45 AM

#

i understand
ok hang on let me trying

#

ok no more popup to install!

dusky meadow Feb 27, 2026, 4:59 AM

#

Ok, thanks for updating. I need to make some changes to allow both 😄

vivid gust Feb 27, 2026, 5:00 AM

#

np and yes!!

#

oh i see this just changes the path of the admob
for the external dependency manager it is fine?

dusky meadow Feb 27, 2026, 5:15 AM

#

yes, i will find a fix for that as well.

vivid gust Feb 27, 2026, 5:20 AM

#

ok but for now, since you provided the file fix above, is it safe to use open upm for production?

dusky meadow Feb 27, 2026, 6:14 AM

#

Yes

you don't need to enter any in the settings of google admob though.

#

delete this file once - gma_settings_editor_localization_data.json and try again resetting values in our admob settings of Ads Kit

vivid gust Feb 27, 2026, 10:15 AM

ok so i just have to work with "AdsKitSettings > Services > Admob"
i can delete the google one right?

dusky meadow Feb 27, 2026, 10:15 AM

I will check it today. Are you available in an hour?

vivid gust Mar 2, 2026, 4:41 AM

#

ok i have been spending a lot of time and i figured out the issue

#

but it causes another issue 🥹

#

so first thing

#

the issue was that...
i deleted old gley and google stuff > adskit was added > then i added the ids from gley > then i added google plugin
note that id was added before google plugin was added
so because of this, google settings asset was missing and the sycning did not work

#

so what i did before building is just created the google settings asset manually

#

before i was building the game without the google settings asset existing so the syncing was somehow failing?

#

you get what i mean?

dusky meadow Mar 2, 2026, 4:47 AM

#

When you enter data in our settings, we internally update the Ad Mob settings file.

vivid gust Mar 2, 2026, 4:47 AM

#

yes you are right, but the data was added before admob plugin was added

#

so i added the ids in ads kit without the admob plugin. then i added the admob plugin and built the game

#

that caused the issue because admob settings asset does not exists so the syncing was somehow failing

#

but now on to another issue...
is adskit force resolving when it is building the game?

dusky meadow Mar 2, 2026, 4:53 AM

#

yes you are right, but the data was added before admob plugin was added
Ok, but it won't compile if Ad Mob plugin isn't added. May be you enabled the admob in our settings and instantly updated the settings before installing the admob plugin?

#

Possible?

#

is adskit force resolving when it is building the game?
No. EDMU should do it.

vivid gust Mar 2, 2026, 4:53 AM

#

because before adskit was added, i had this:

            url (unityProjectPath + "/Assets/GeneratedLocalRepo/GoogleSignIn/Editor/m2repository") // Assets/GoogleSignIn/Editor/GoogleSignInSupportDependencies.xml:9

in my settingstemplate.gradle file
im using an old working google sign in auth so everytime after force resolve it changes to:

            url (unityProjectPath + "/Assets/GoogleSignIn/Editor/m2repository") // Assets/GoogleSignIn/Editor/GoogleSignInSupportDependencies.xml:9

and i have manually change it back to:

            url (unityProjectPath + "/Assets/GeneratedLocalRepo/GoogleSignIn/Editor/m2repository") // Assets/GoogleSignIn/Editor/GoogleSignInSupportDependencies.xml:9

it worked ok before adding adskit but now every time when i build the game it goes back to

            url (unityProjectPath + "/Assets/GoogleSignIn/Editor/m2repository") // Assets/GoogleSignIn/Editor/GoogleSignInSupportDependencies.xml:9

#

Ok, but it won't compile if Ad Mob plugin isn't added. May be you enabled the admob in our settings and instantly updated the settings before installing the admob plugin?
" May be you enabled the admob in our settings and instantly updated the settings before installing the admob plugin?"
yes this is the reason

dusky meadow Mar 2, 2026, 4:54 AM

vivid gust --------------------------------------------------- > Ok, but it won't compile i...

Ok. In that case, it's better for me to only update the settings when you build the apk/aab. I will make it this way.

vivid gust Mar 2, 2026, 4:56 AM

#

dusky meadow Ok. In that case, it's better for me to only update the settings when you build ...

yes and do it for both if possible. adskit setting have both android and ios value and when building for android only the android value gets copied over. it think it will be better for a full sync

dusky meadow Mar 2, 2026, 4:56 AM

#

Regarding settingsTemplate.gradle -> We don't touch it. Can you check once EDMU settings?

sorry i have question

#

i set up mediation on admob dashboard already with unity ads bidding

#

in my unity project, i also imported the unity ads mediation adapter sdk

#

so do i have to do anything else in adskit settings to make the medication work?

#

*mediation

dusky meadow Mar 2, 2026, 10:41 AM

#

vivid gust so do i have to do anything else in adskit settings to make the medication work?

Nothing.

#

We handle the integration with main ad-networks. Mediation is still configured as usual on how you setup without ads Kit.

#

In upcoming version, we are planning to have all automated by supporting even the mediation adapter installation too. This ways users can totally avoid touching settings other than Ads Kit Settings.
