    I recently integrated Google Play Services Plugin into my unity mobile game.
    But I encountered a random Ads popping up asking me to install other games.

    Is this a forced ads by GPS regulations?
    How do I turn this things off? Because my players are annoyed by these ads.


    Thank you,
    Daniel.

    Wrong forum section. http://forum.unity3d.com/forums/android-development.30/

    However it sounds that if you are not showing ads on purpose anywhere in your code you have added something (asset?) to your project that does it without permission. Google does not force ads.

    Which ad network ads it's showing might also help you figure it out.

    Hey, thanks for helping me out, I encountered a random ads like asking to install a google play services game, and also some generic app, and it's bugging me now even when i turned it off. Few of my players encountered the same problem. I am using Unity GPS plugin, I am very confused right now as there is no code related to ads. Or could it be someone modifed the plugin since it's available on net for download?

    Where did you download it and is it official package? sounds like something is injecting ads code to it without permission or the ads appear somehow else. You could examine the built version contents to check out what it holds inside.
