Read time 1 minuteLast updated 4 hours ago
You can use Gradle dependencies to integrate the Unity Ads SDK. Unity supports Android 4.4 "KitKat" (API level 19) and later.

Add the Unity Ads SDK to your project

  1. Add the following code to your app-level build.gradle file inside the 
    repositories
    section:
repositories {
  mavenCentral()
}
  1. Add the following code to the 
    dependencies
    section:
dependencies {
  implementation 'com.unity3d.ads:unity-ads:4.7.0'
}
  1. If your project is not already using Java 8+, set your Java version to 8 in build.gradle in the 
    compileOptions
    section:
android { 
  compileOptions {
    sourceCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    targetCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
  }
}

Advertising ID

When an Android user opts out of interest-based advertising or ads personalization, the advertising identifier will not be available. Publishers will receive a string of zeros in place of the identifier. Additionally, when apps update their target to Android 13 or later, they need to declare a Google Play services normal permission in the manifest file as follows: 
<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID"/>
Next steps: To continue your integration, refer to the Initialize the SDK in Android documentation.
