    Hello, I am fairly new to unity, been playing around with it for about 6 months. I never took coding classes, I just look for online resources to learn new things.

    However, I have been searching high and low, trying to find information on how I can add Social Media to a game, or even advertisements, so you can make revenue.

    Hopeless to find an answer, I decided to buy this Plugin from the Asset store:
    https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/content/23891

    I understand to put social features in a game, you need to go to their developers website and register a new app, get information about your new App, like App ID and Hash Key.

    My problem is there is no explaination out there on what to do after... How do I login to facebook? Doesn't say. How do I Put advertisements in my game? Doesn't say.

    I even contacted the creator of the plugin, and he said that the Plugin is the simplest thing in the world to use, and that he expects people to know a little about unity before one downloads his plugin. The only tutorials he provides is how to register the app on the developer websites! And that's it.

    So, great, I spent 20$ and not even an answer to my problem is given. I have been posting my problem on this forum for a few days, and not even the community seems interested. So I am wondering, is it supposed to be a Secret or something?

    Please help, I need to have these two things implemented before I can publish my game to the Google Play Market. And this is the ONLY thing I am missing, I have been searching for months for the answer, can't someone be so kind as to explain it to me? D:

    No, but you're not asking a very specific question, so it's really hard to help you.

    The answers you're looking for probably aren't as simple as you're expecting - especially "How do I login to facebook?" I mean, logging in on its own doesn't do much for you, does it? After that you're going to want to access friends lists, submit high scores, make posts, or whatever.

    Have you checked out the AxSU3D documentation at http://axsu3d.com/docs/AxSU3DAndroid? It's not a tutorial but, combined with a working knowledge of the services you want to integrate (which you'll need anyway) a brief glance suggests it has the info you need.

    A quick search on Google would turn up the links to the official Facebook documentation for usage with Unity - the SDK is even wrapped up nicely in package form, from the Asset Store. Following two of the guides from their documentation will walk you through the steps of setting up your application (Canvas/iOS/Android) and then take you a step further into how to make calls to the Graph API.

    I see that you've already purchased the AxSU3D package, so this very will may be a moot point, but feel free to browse through the links I've posted below to see how it's done.
