Description

In this flutter tutorial, we look at how we can monetize our mobile applications using the Google Admob platform and the Firebase Admob plugin. While the plugin is not full featured yet, it does provide various different advertisements and monetization means that we can use inside of our flutter application. This means that we do not have to build out logic in either iOS or Android to deploy advertisements to our flutter application layer. With Admob we can choose how our advertisements are presented to the users and we can also choose what types of advertisements are served. We can toggle various features like family friendly mode and we can also setup the gender and age of our users to limit the types of ads that get served.

To demonstrate this plugin, we make use of the Minesweeper application that was built in a prior tutorial series. This application works well because there is a clear logic that helps us in how we serve our advertisements to users. The banner sits at the bottom of the game screen at all times and refreshes every few minutes. The interstitial advertisement is deployed when the user hits the game reset button. By default, the interstitial advertisement will only deploy over a certain frequency but we can bypass this duration by adding some logic to the listener of this advertisement.
