iOS integration - canShow versus canShowAds

[jshrek]

So what is the difference between canShow and canShowAds?

When would you use one versus the other?

They always seem to return the same thing (either both true or both false).

Copied from the Unity Ads iOS SDK Integration Docs:

Prior to showing ads, you should always check if there is an ad available for the current user. You will do this using the canShow method that checks if the ad unit can be shown and the canShowAds method that checks if there is inventory available for the UnityAds class. When you have done these checks, you can show an ad to the user using the show method.

Keep in mind, you won’t need to use these methods if you’re doing your integration within a Unity project. If you are, please see the integration docs for the Unity Ads Asset Store package.

As the title of my question says, this is for “iOS Integration”, so yes I do need to use these methods.

Thanks
