Today we're launching version 3.0.0 of the Google Mobile Ads Unity Plugin. The
updated Unity package is available for download on our GitHub repo .
Streamlined Build Process
With the v3.0.0 release of the Google Mobile Ads Unity plugin, the process for
generating both Android and iOS projects no longer requires additional setup.
Android
The Google Play Services library project no longer has to be included within
your Unity project. Instead, the necessary Google Play services client
libraries are automatically copied into Unity projects at build time. This
functionality is provided via the Unity JarResolver library (linked on our GitHub repo ). This change decreases app size and fixes compatibility issues with other
Unity plugins that use Google Play services, such as the Google Play Games plugin .
iOS
The Google Mobile Ads Unity plugin now uses CocoaPods to deploy the Google
Mobile Ads SDK into the iOS project generated by Unity. The Google Mobile Ads
Unity plugin will also configure all necessary build settings for the iOS
project.
Custom IAP
This release of the Google Mobile Ads Unity Plugin also brings support for
non-default in-app purchases. The non-default purchase flow gives developers
full control over the implementation of the billing flow, while allowing for
purchase of both consumable and non-consumable products. Steps on how to
integrate non-default in-app purchases into your Unity application can be found
on our Game Developers guide .

interstitials. Take note of the following changes and update projects written
