| 4.19.0 |

UnityAds.initialize(InitializationConfiguration, InitializationListener)

built via

InitializationConfiguration.Builder(gameId)

| 5.0.0 | Replaced by a builder-based configuration API with a unified single-method listener. Mediation info is now passed at initialization time via the builder. | |

IUnityAdsInitializationListener

interface (

onInitializationComplete()

/

onInitializationFailed(UnityAdsInitializationError, String)

) | 4.19.0 |

InitializationListener

with a single

onInitializationComplete(@Nullable UnityAdsError)

null

means success | 5.0.0 | Two-method delegate replaced by a single nullable-error callback, consistent with the unified

UnityAdsError

model. | |

MediationMetaData

MediationInfo

— constructed as

new MediationInfo(name, sdkVersion, adapterVersion)

and passed via

.withMediationInfo()

on each builder | 5.0.0 | Mutable key-value metadata object replaced by an immutable typed value object passed directly into the builder API. | |

MetaData

class (used for privacy and mediation key-value pairs) | 4.19.0 | Use

MediationInfo

for mediation data; use

UnityAds.setUserConsent()

,

setUserOptOut()

, and

setNonBehavioral()

for privacy | 5.0.0 | Generic string key-value metadata replaced by typed, purpose-specific APIs. | |

UnityAds.UnityAdsInitializationError

enum | 4.19.0 | Unified

UnityAdsError

— use

error.getCode()

(int) and

error.getMessage()

(String) | 5.0.0 | Per-operation error enums replaced by a unified error type with standardized numeric codes across all operations. |
