In App Update

Introduction

The video begins with an overview of the process of integrating In-App updates for Android applications.

Downloading the Unity Package

• The first step involves navigating to the tools section within the mobile monetization pro integration tool.
• Users are instructed to select the in-app update integration option and to download the latest Android in-app update Unity package.
• After downloading, the package must be installed in the Unity project.

Importing Required Packages

• Once the Unity package is installed, the next step is to import required scripts into the project.
• If the external dependency manager is already present, users can skip its installation and proceed to import the Google Play plugins along with the in-app update.

Setting Up the In-App Update Manager

• The next step involves creating an empty game object, named in-app update, within the Unity hierarchy.
• Users should reset the transform of this game object and then drag and drop the in-app update manager script onto it.
• After setting up the manager script, the project is ready for testing on a real Android device.

Configuring Project Settings

• Before testing, it is essential to configure the project settings, specifically the version and bundle version code.
• Users are advised to ensure that the package name and game name are correctly set before proceeding to the Google Play Console.

Creating a Release in Google Play Console

• The video guides users to access the Google Play dashboard where a test environment has already been prepared.
• Users should create a new release and uploading the new bundle.

Testing the In-App Update

• To test the in-app update functionality, a new version of the game must be uploaded to the Google Play Console.
• The version number should be updated, and release notes should be added for clarity before publishing.
• Once published, users can begin testing the update feature by opening the game and observing the update notification.
