i am using unity reward based ads in my android/ios game. but when i check it

Advertisement.IsReady (rewardVideoID)
always return false because in ads script if check in Awake unity ads initialization is false

*void Awake ()
{

  Debug.Log ("Unity ads ini state : " + Advertisement.isInitialized);  //it is false everytime

}
*

here i want to know why unity ads are not auto initializing. i used unity ads in my previous project

Well, I had the same problem, I think that’s a bug. I fixed it by initializating it manually.

You can add this to your ad manager, or just create a new one:

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.Advertisements;

    public class UnityAdsInitializer : MonoBehaviour
    {
        [SerializeField]
        private string
            androidGameId = "18658",
            iosGameId = "18660";
    
        [SerializeField]
        private bool testMode;
    
        void Start ()
        {
            string gameId = null;
    
            #if UNITY_ANDROID
            gameId = androidGameId;
            #elif UNITY_IOS
            gameId = iosGameId;
            #endif
    
            if (Advertisement.isSupported && !Advertisement.isInitialized) {
                Advertisement.Initialize(gameId, testMode);
            }
        }
    }

;D

Had to thank you since you give the clue I need to find the problem I was having with Heyzap and UnityAds. Basically I was implementing the Heyzap SDK on an old project, with have using only the UnityAds. All the other services I implemented was dispatching the events for rewarded videos, except UnityAds.

The point is: In the Projects/UnityConnectSettings the connection for me was set to initialize automatically, and the Services component in Unity doens’t show to you anything about this on Unity 2017.4.6f.
I was searching for something for 4 days to solve this problem, until I reach this topic. I was not using Advertisement.Initialize anymore like you, but I remember that Unity could start automatically and them I could figure out the problem.

Heyzap Dashboard doesn’t have nothing about this, on internet nobody said anything about it, so I’m just making this registration for history. Thanks. :slight_smile:
