Googleads-mobile-unity: Unity Package Manager (UPM) support

[ErnSur]

[REQUIRED] Step 1: Describe your environment

• Unity version: 2018.3+
• Google Mobile Ads Unity plugin version: All
• Platform: All (iOS, Android, Unity Editor)
• Platform OS version: All (eg iOS 10, Android 9)
• Any specific devices issue occurs on: All
• Mediation ad networks used, and their versions: N/A

[REQUIRED] Step 2: Describe the problem

This plugin is missing unity's package manager support.
Many Unity plugins from Google are available from the Game Package Registry and UPM support would provide great QoL improvement for developers.

• easy version managing.
• declutters project 'Assets' folder, which is important when you manage a lot of plugins.
• easy mediation managing (mediation packages could be stored in a separate registry)
• more google plugins accessible from one centralized place.

Steps to reproduce:

This would really help with keeping everything up-to-date having multiple projects

We agree and are working on making this happen. It will be released following a refactor of the native ads plugin and should go out in the next month or so.

End of which year?

Also there is https://github.com/googleads/googleads-mobile-unity/blob/master/ChangeLog.txt about UPM in 6.0.0 but I don't see there are 6.0.0 yet, am I missing something?

[thsbrown]

Would also love to check in on the status of this 👍 .

[Zamaroht]

I'm also interested in this issue, would be really helpful for integrations

[robinryf]

This issue is probably too much to wish for since Google is not continuing to provide Unity Package Manager support for other Google packages: https://github.com/firebase/quickstart-unity/issues/1028

It would still be very great to add the AdMob integration to https://developers.google.com/unity/archive so it can be included in our own Unity registries and resolve dependencies correctly when the External Dependency Manager is already included in the project.
