New tutorial: How To Add AdMob Ads Into Your Existing Unity3D iOS (iPhone/iPad/iPod) Game vol.2 - Unity Engine - Unity Discussions How To Add AdMob Ads Into Your Existing Unity3D iOS (iPhone/iPad/iPod) Game
It is really easy, but took me almost a week to figure it out! I don’t know Object C and never programmed in Xcode. I hope this short tutorial will help some people, because I did not find any good solution on the net.
1. Manage Libraries in Xcode (source: AdMob | Google for Developers )
Download the AdMob SDK
Create a new folder in your project root folder called “GoogleAdMobAdsSdkiOS”
Copy all files from the downloaded SDK (but not the “Add-ons” folder) into the new “GoogleAdMobAdsSdkiOS”
Right click your project (“Unity-iPhone”) and press “Add-Files to Unity iPhone” and select the new “GoogleAdMobAdsSdkiOS” folder in your project’s root
Open the Link Binary With Libraries dropdown under the Build Phases tab. Add the frameworks from the iOS SDK using the + button that becomes visible. Add StoreKit, MessageUI and AdSupport to both targets
You now need to add -ObjC to the Other Linker Flags of !THE PROJECT! (not the targets)
STEP ONE DONE
2. Add some code (source: AdMob | Google for Developers )
Open the “AppController.mm” file
Add following code below the last #import:
//// ******************* ////
//// *** AdMob START *** ////
//// ******************* ////
#import "GADBannerView.h"
//// ******************* ////
//// *** AdMob END *** ////
//// ******************* ////
Add the following code below the line “UIWindow * _window;”
//// ******************* ////
//// *** AdMob START *** ////
//// ******************* ////
GADBannerView* _adBanner;
//// ******************* ////
//// *** AdMob END *** ////
//// ******************* ////
Add the following code before the line “[_window makeKeyAndVisible];”
//// ******************* ////
//// *** AdMob START *** ////
//// ******************* ////
// Initialize the banner at the bottom of the screen.
CGPoint origin = CGPointMake(0.0, 0.0);
// Use predefined GADAdSize constants to define the GADBannerView.
_adBanner = [[[GADBannerView alloc] initWithAdSize:kGADAdSizeBanner origin:origin] autorelease];
_adBanner.adUnitID = @"PUT YOUR ID HERE";
[_adBanner setRootViewController:controller];
[view addSubview:_adBanner];
_adBanner.center = CGPointMake(_adBanner.center.x+
MAX(
view.frame.size.height-kGADAdSizeBanner.size.width,
view.frame.size.width-kGADAdSizeBanner.size.width),
_adBanner.center.y);
GADRequest *request = [GADRequest request];
[_adBanner loadRequest:request];
//// ******************* ////
//// *** AdMob END *** ////
//// ******************* ////
Add the following code before the line “[_window release];”
//// ******************* ////
//// *** AdMob START *** ////
//// ******************* ////
_adBanner.delegate = nil;
[_adBanner release];
//// ******************* ////
//// *** AdMob END *** ////
//// ******************* ////
STEP 2 DONE

Over Power guide. You sir are my hero
Been looking for something like that
Is there a version for Unity3D 4.1+ ???
Thanks!
I’m still on Unity 3, but I suppose that this code will also work on Unity 4
Hey guys,
No, it doesn’t work in Unity 4. Any ideas?
Thanks.
For Unity 4 you have to do these changes in iPhone_View.mm. The banner must be added in CreateViewHierarchy()
I moved [_mainDisplay->window makeKeyAndVisible]; at the end of the method and added the code slightly changed right before it.
So the modified function would look like this:
void CreateViewHierarchy()
{
//// ******************* ////
//// *** AdMob START *** ////
//// ******************* ////
GADBannerView* _adBanner;
//// ******************* ////
//// *** AdMob END *** ////
//// ******************* ////
_mainDisplay = [[DisplayManager Instance] mainDisplay];
//[_mainDisplay->window makeKeyAndVisible];
static bool _ClassInited = false;
if(!_ClassInited)
{
AddOrientationSupportDefaultImpl([UnityViewController class]);
_ClassInited = true;
}
_viewController = [[UnityViewController alloc] init];
_viewController.wantsFullScreenLayout = TRUE;
_viewController.view = _mainDisplay->view;
[UIView setAnimationsEnabled:NO];
ShowSplashScreen(_mainDisplay->window);
NSNumber* style = [[[NSBundle mainBundle] infoDictionary] objectForKey:@"Unity_LoadingActivityIndicatorStyle"];
ShowActivityIndicator([SplashScreen Instance], style ? [style intValue] : -1 );
//// ******************* ////
//// *** AdMob START *** ////
//// ******************* ////
// Initialize the banner at the bottom of the screen.
CGPoint origin = CGPointMake(10.0, 0.0);
// Use predefined GADAdSize constants to define the GADBannerView.
_adBanner = [[[GADBannerView alloc] initWithAdSize:kGADAdSizeBanner origin:origin] autorelease];
_adBanner.adUnitID = @"PUT YOUR ID HERE";
[_adBanner setRootViewController:_viewController];
[_mainDisplay->view addSubview:_adBanner];
_adBanner.center = CGPointMake(_adBanner.center.x+
MAX(
_mainDisplay->view.frame.size.height-kGADAdSizeBanner.size.width,
_mainDisplay->view.frame.size.width-kGADAdSizeBanner.size.width),
_adBanner.center.y);
GADRequest *request = [GADRequest request];
request.testDevices = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:GAD_SIMULATOR_ID, nil];
[_adBanner loadRequest:request];
//// ******************* ////
//// *** AdMob END *** ////
//// ******************* ////
[_mainDisplay->window makeKeyAndVisible];
}
Hello Guys,
What should I do?
PS: Which is the viewcontroller from the row 26-29?
_viewController = [[UnityViewController alloc] init];
_viewController.wantsFullScreenLayout = TRUE;
_viewController.view = _mainDisplay->view;
[UIView setAnimationsEnabled:NO];
Hey Developer_X,
are you working with Unity 3.x or Unity 4.x?
If you are working with Unity 4 have you seen what Florin O. has written?
Yes, I’ve done how Florin O. wrote there.
ld: library not found for -liPhone-lib
ld: warning: directory not found for option ‘-L"/Users/admin/Desktop/PrindeBerea/PrindeBerea/1234/Libraries"’
Maybe you can send Florin O. a private message. I’m still not on Unity 4, hence I cannot tell you wants wrong with your code…

I am getting the error “duplicate symbols for architecture armv7 admob”
Hey Developer_X, if you still have that problem, this is my modification from Florin.O’s code
void CreateViewHierarchy()
{
//// ******************* ////
//// *** AdMob START *** ////
//// ******************* ////
GADBannerView* _adBanner;
//// ******************* ////
//// *** AdMob END *** ////
//// ******************* ////
_mainDisplay = [[DisplayManager Instance] mainDisplay];
//[_mainDisplay->window makeKeyAndVisible];
static bool _ClassInited = false;
if(!_ClassInited)
{
AddOrientationSupportDefaultImpl([UnityViewController class]);
_ClassInited = true;
}
[UIView setAnimationsEnabled:NO];
ShowSplashScreen(_mainDisplay->window);
NSNumber* style = [[[NSBundle mainBundle] infoDictionary] objectForKey:@"Unity_LoadingActivityIndicatorStyle"];
ShowActivityIndicator([SplashScreen Instance], style ? [style intValue] : -1 );
//// ******************* ////
//// *** AdMob START *** ////
//// ******************* ////
// Use predefined GADAdSize constants to define the GADBannerView.
_adBanner = [[[GADBannerView alloc] initWithAdSize:kGADAdSizeBanner] autorelease];
_adBanner.adUnitID = @"PUT YOUR ID HERE";
[_adBanner setRootViewController:UnityGetGLViewController()];
[UnityGetGLViewController().view addSubview:_adBanner];
GADRequest *request = [GADRequest request];
request.testDevices = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:GAD_SIMULATOR_ID, nil];
[_adBanner loadRequest:request];
//// ******************* ////
//// *** AdMob END *** ////
//// ******************* ////
[_mainDisplay->window makeKeyAndVisible];
}
This will show the ads on the top. You can modify it yourself to show it on the bottom.
It is supposed to work right away? I used the code above but I’m getting this linker error:

Any ideas?
Using the ad-mob sample I am having issues after building unity project to xcode.
After importing the Admob framework to xcocde and setting other linking flags, ive reciving a few errors:
Undefined symbols for architecture armv7:OBJC_CLASS $_CTTelephonyNetworkInfo”, referenced from:
please help !
I have used :Google Ads Developer Blog: AdMob Plugin for Unity3D Add-on and instructions.

Hi,
Yes, you have to edit : Libray Search Paths in XCode Build Settings and remove “back slashes” symbols in this path :
“$(SRCROOT)/Libraries”

This will show the ads on the top. You can modify it yourself to show it on the bottom.
So I used this code and it works great except I’m not extremely experienced with these things (first app ever). So I was wondering how I would modify it to show on the bottom or the sides or whatnot like you mentioned. Thanks!

Thank you FreebordMAD and Florin O , it looks awesome. Have not done my implementation yet, but one quick question: does this require Unity PRO and/or Unity IOS Pro?
@Larsey : no PRO is needed
i have the same linker problem
