Well, it turns out I was right. Version 5.4.146 of the Amazon’s API was broken. Back when 5.4.146 was released, I updated Easy Amazon Ads and tested it. At this point I discovered that closing an interstitial with the X button would stop the app loading any more interstitials for the duration of the session. Basically, the
A few days ago, Amazon sent out an email that they’ve updated their Ads API to support iOS8 and fixed a couple of bugs. Be sure to integrate the latest version of the Amazon Mobile Ads API in your iOS app. The Amazon Mobile Ads API version 2.1.2 is compatible with iOS 8.0 and includes
It took longer than expected due to Amazon’s glacially slow developer support, but iOS interstitials and banners are now live in Easy Amazon Ads. To make things as simple as possible, the iOS version works exactly the same as the Android version. They both use the same EasyAmazonAdsManager class and both trigger the same events with
Over the past few days I’ve been working on implementing the new Amazon iOS ads into Easy Amazon Ads for Unity.

The latest plugin has support for caching and showing interstitials, as well as events to catch the loading, failed to load and dismissed events. As usual, I’ve tried to make it as easy as possible. The showInterstitial method will
In a stand of defiance against the overlords at Unity HQ, I’ve packaged up the Amazon Mobile Ads plugin for Unity, and released it on this very blog! If you haven’t heard the story yet, to paraphrase: I submitted it on the Unity Asset store, but they refused it due to internal business reasons. Nothing
Update: I’ve decided to release Easy Amazon Ads plugin here, on this very site. You can download it here. Yes, you heard it here first, Easy Amazon Ads, the plugin I put painstaking days of work into, has officially been rejected by Unity’s Asset Store because “IT’S JUST TOO DAMNED AWESOME!”. Well, to be honest,
Update: Since writing this I went through the process of submitting my implementation to the Unity Asset Store. Unfortunately, it was rejected due to internal business reasons at Unity HQ. Because of this, I released it on this website. Download it here. Some weeks ago I wrote about an Amazon plugin I was working on because I
I ended up ripping Prime31’s Android AdMob support out of Transmutation, writing my own plugin, and then adding Amazon to support to it. Because Prime31 offered no help or useful information for the AdMob-crashing-on-the-Fire-HD problem, the only way I could figure out what was causing it was to write my own replacement for it. Two
