google-mobile-ads-rewarded FAQ

What's the difference between rewarded ads and rewarded interstitial ads?

Rewarded ads are full-screen ads that users explicitly opt in to view. Rewarded interstitial ads are a different ad format not covered by this skill.

Do I need different code for Android, iOS, and Unity?

Yes, each platform has platform-specific implementation details. The skill provides separate guides for Android, iOS, and Unity.

What happens if a user closes the ad before completion?

The reward is typically not granted if the user exits early. Your callback handlers determine the exact behavior based on the ad event.

Can I test rewarded ads before publishing?

Yes, use test Ad Unit IDs provided by Google Mobile Ads SDK during development and testing.
