Include network adapter and SDK

Android

Zucks distributes both its SDK and AdMob Mediation Adapter exclusively via Maven. You do not need to download any local .aar or .jar files for Android.

  1. Install the Android Build Template in your Godot project (under Project > Install Android Build Template).
  2. Open android/build/build.gradle in a text editor.
  3. Add the Zucks Maven repository inside the allprojects > repositories block (or repositories block): 
    repositories {
    // ... other repositories
    maven { url 'https://github.com/zucks/ZucksAdNetworkSDK-Maven/raw/master/' }
}
  4. Add the Zucks mediation adapter dependency inside the dependencies block (this will transitively download the Zucks SDK as well): 
    dependencies {
    // ... other dependencies
    implementation 'net.zucks:zucks-ad-network-admob-adapter:6.1.0.1' // Replace with the latest adapter version
}

iOS

Include the mediated networks' SDKs and adapter files within the appropriate directory of your Godot project:

  • iOS: Xcode project (after export)

After generating an Xcode project from Godot, include any frameworks, compiler flags, or linker flags that your chosen networks require.

  1. Download the latest Zucks iOS SDK and Zucks AdMob Adapter frameworks from the Zucks Developer Page.
  2. Export your Godot project as an iOS Xcode project.
  3. Open the exported project in Xcode.
  4. Drag and drop the downloaded Zucks SDK and Adapter framework files (.xcframework or .framework) into your Xcode project.
  5. Under the General tab of your app target, ensure these frameworks are listed under Frameworks, Libraries, and Embedded Content and set to Embed & Sign.

Your app need not call any third-party ad network code directly; Poing Godot AdMob Plugin interacts with the mediated network's adapter to fetch third-party ads on your behalf.
