[Android] Unity Ads 2.0 with Target SDK < 23

Unity Services
1

Hello,

is there any way to use Unity Ads 2.0x with Android target SDK 22 or below?

When I try to build with Target SDK 22 I get the “Unable to merge Android Manifests” error. And I can’t find a way to view the Unity Ads Manifest (Except while building in the temp folder).

I’m using Unity 5.4.0f3 with the latest Unity Ads version from the asset store.

Thanks in advance.

While importing Unity Ads 2.0 again I noticed the UnityAds.aar file in the plugins folder und thought: There must be something inside! And I was right, there is the manifest.

For all people who find this thread in a search engine: Just unzip the AndroidManifest.xml from \Plugins\Android\UnityAds.aar, edit “android:targetSdkVersion” and put the AndroidManifest.xml back into UnityAds.aar.

It seems that everything works right with this solution.

Is there a way to accomplish this using the Built-in ads of Unity 5.5? Since there’s no ad files at the Plugins\Android\ folder.
