AdMob

This is the AdMob module for Godot Engine (https://github.com/okamstudio/godot)

• Android & iOS
• Banner
• Interstitial
• Rewarded Video

How to use

Android

Drop the "admob" directory inside the "modules" directory on the Godot source.

Recompile the android export template (For documentation: http://docs.godotengine.org/en/latest/reference/compiling_for_android.html#compiling-export-templates). * If you don't want or can't build the template by yourself, you can find a precompiled template with this module here.

In Example project goto Export > Target > Android:

Options:
	Custom Package:
		- place your apk from build
	Permissions on:
		- Access Network State
		- Internet

iOS

• Drop the "admob" directory inside the "modules" directory on the Godot source;
• Download and extract the Google Mobile Ads SDK inside the directory "admob/ios/lib";
• Recompile the iOS export template (For documentation: http://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/development/compiling/compiling_for_ios.html).

Configuring your game

Android

To enable the module on Android, add the path to the module to the "modules" property on the [android] section of your engine.cfg file (Godot 2) or project.godot (Godot 3). It should look like this:

[android]
modules="org/godotengine/godot/GodotAdMob"

If you have more separate by comma.

iOS

Follow the exporting to iOS official documentation.

Godot 2

Just make sure you're using your custom template (compiled in the previous step), for that rename it to "godot_opt.iphone" and replace the file with same name inside the Xcode project.

Godot 3

• Export your project from Godot, it'll create an Xcode project;
• Copy the library (.a) you have compiled following the official documentation inside the exported Xcode project. You must override the 'your_project_name.a' file with this file.
• Copy the GoogleMobileAds.framwork inside the exported Xcode project folder and link it using the "Link Binary with Libraries" option;
• Add the following frameworks to the project:
  • StoreKit
  • GameKit
  • CoreVideo
  • AdSupport
  • MessageUI
  • CoreTelephony
  • CFNetwork
  • MobileCoreServices
  • SQLite

Known Issues

• You can't use Rewarded Video and any other ad type (Banner and/or Interstitial) at same time on iOS or your app will crash with the error Multiple locks on web thread not allowed when the Reward is closed. To fix this, we need help from an iOS developer as I don't have any Apple hardware to do it by myself. You can see more details about this issue here.

Troubleshooting

• First of all, please make sure you're able to compile the custom template without the Admob module, this way we can isolate the cause of the issue.

• Using the Xcode debug console for iOS and logcat for Android is the best way to troubleshoot most issues. You can filter Godot only messages with logcat using the command: adb logcat -s godot

• ERROR_CODE_NO_FILL is a common issue with Admob, but out of the scope to this module. Here's the description on the API page: ERROR_CODE_NO_FILL: The ad request was successful, but no ad was returned due to lack of ad inventory.
