DESCRIPTION

This Cordova / PhoneGap plugin enables the integration of Unity Ads video ads into your cordova mobile games or apps in a way that both increases player engagement and puts more money in your pocket over the gamer’s lifetime. Unity Ads offers the highest Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) of any global rewarded video ad network.

PLUGIN BACKGROUND

A couple of years ago, and after a great mistake, I got banned from Google AdsMob network. After appels to the mercy of Google, explaining what happens... I remain banned for life. This put me on a very bad situation those days, with a very short list of good monetizing alternatives. This ends the day I learn about UnityAds

After the end of the UnityAds 1.x and 2.x Api era, I have to move forward and Implement UnityAds 3.x on my projects. Implement it on the Unity Game Engine was a breeze, But then I didn't found any solutions to implement version 3.x on my html5, cordova, construct 2 or 3 projects. That my friends, makes this cordova plugin a reality. Oh well, it was basically, necessity!
