hello welcome to flutter update
[30]
today we are here to bring you some
[32]
exciting news about app monetization
[35]
i'm zoe a product manager on the flutter
[37]
team
[39]
here at google we want to help you by
[41]
offering tools to make money from your
[43]
flutter app whether you're targeting ios
[45]
or android and of course there are lots
[48]
of different ways that apps make money
[51]
accepting payments as a storefront for a
[53]
physical business
[54]
offering subscriptions or in-app
[56]
purchases or including ads directly in
[59]
your application
[61]
on the flutter team our goal is to help
[63]
you easily integrate with all types of
[65]
monetization features so you can focus
[68]
on delivering a high quality customer
[70]
experience
[72]
today we're making several announcements
[74]
that we think you will like particularly
[76]
if you want to integrate ads into your
[78]
flutter app
[79]
first i am very excited to announce that
[82]
the google mobile ads sdk for flutter is
[85]
now generally available for broad usage
[87]
by any flutter app
[89]
we partner with the google ass team to
[91]
build this plugin to be the most
[93]
seamless and fully featured ad solution
[95]
for flutter developers the plugin works
[98]
on both ios and android and support
[101]
loading and displaying all gma sdk ad
[103]
formats
[105]
ads can be used in a lot of different
[106]
ways in your app
[108]
for example banner ads usually a
[111]
rectangle ad that occupies a spot within
[113]
an app's layout either at the top or
[116]
bottom of the device screen interstitial
[119]
ads full screen ads that cover the whole
[121]
screen of your app
[122]
these ads work great when you place them
[124]
at natural breaks and transitions in
[126]
your app for example you can place them
[130]
after the user completes a level in a
[132]
game
[133]
rewarded video ads one of the most
[135]
popular ad formats among game developers
[138]
these are ads that reward users for
[140]
watching short videos
[142]
native ads a highly customizable format
[145]
that allows you to design them to match
[147]
the look and feel of your ad content
[150]
native allows you to provide a seamless
[152]
ad experience with minimal interruptions
[155]
to the app
[156]
and last but not least we also added a
[158]
new format called app open
[161]
app open ads are a special full screen
[163]
ad format intended for publishers
[165]
wishing to monetize their app load
[167]
screen
[168]
app open ads can be closed at any time
[171]
and are designed to be shown when your
[172]
users bring your app to the foreground
[175]
app open ads automatically show a small
[177]
branding area so users still know
[180]
they're in your app
[181]
in addition to all the app formats
[183]
supported another highlight of the
[185]
google mobile ads sdk for flutter is
[187]
that we are unifying support for both ad
[190]
manager and admob
[193]
for those of you who are not familiar
[195]
admob and ad manager are two different
[197]
ad services
[199]
generally speaking small to medium-sized
[201]
publishers prefer admob because it's an
[204]
easy to use solution
[206]
google ad manager is an ad management
[209]
platform for large publishers who have
[211]
significant direct sales and need more
[214]
advanced features
[216]
that being said no matter what size
[218]
publisher you are you can customize the
[220]
google mobile ads sdk for flutter to
[223]
meet your needs
[225]
in addition to help you optimize your ad
[228]
performance we're including a beta
[230]
version of ad mediation
[232]
mediation is a feature that helps you
[234]
manage all of the ad sources you use to
[237]
serve ads to your apps in one place
[240]
these include non-google ad networks
[242]
such as fan uploading etc
[245]
using mediation you can send incoming ad
[248]
requests to multiple ad sources and find
[251]
the best available ones to fill the
[252]
requests
[255]
mediation can help maximize your revenue
[257]
by ranking all the ad sources based on
[259]
optimized performance
[262]
i'm only highlighting a few major
[264]
features today but we're supporting
[266]
almost all google mobile ad sdk features
[268]
in this plugin
[270]
these are the same ad features that are
[271]
available to you if you build a native
[273]
ios and android app
[275]
you can use the same tool link to manage
[277]
your campaigns track your ads
[279]
performance
[281]
the google mobile ads sdk for flutter is
[284]
available today for you to download from
[286]
pub.dev
[288]
in addition to ads we've been expanding
[291]
our monetization offerings across to
[293]
help you grow your business
[295]
for example
[296]
our in-app purchase plugin allows you to
[298]
integrate with a single unified service
[300]
for offering additional content in your
[302]
app like premium services digital goods
[305]
and subscriptions
[307]
moreover floater's pay plugin lets
[310]
developers integrate once and access
[312]
google pay on android and apple pay on
[314]
ios
[316]
this makes it easier and faster to
[318]
support both platforms with a seamless
[320]
experience for your users to pay for
[322]
things like groceries retail merchandise
[325]
and food delivery
[326]
with these monetization solutions not
[329]
only can you build beautiful performant
[331]
flutter apps you can earn revenue to
[333]
build a successful business too
[338]
been working with a few early adopters
[340]
who are eager to get started with ad
[342]
support using flutter ahead of our
[343]
production release it's been valuable to
[346]
fine-tune the release with them prior to
[348]
today's launch
[350]
i'd like to introduce you to one of the
[352]
biggest lotum who are the developers of
[355]
the massively successful war game four
[358]
picks one word a top grossing app in 50
[361]
countries
[362]
it is my great pleasure to have petra
[365]
join us today to share their experience
[368]
hi patra
[369]
thank you sorry and hi everyone my name
[372]
is petra and i'm a developer at lotum on
[374]
the forepixel world team
[376]
at luchon we create mobile games that
[378]
millions of friends and families play
[380]
together every day and one of them is
[382]
four picks one word a guessing game
[383]
where four pictures have one word in
[385]
common and you have to guess which one
[388]
until 2019 we maintain two different
[390]
code bases for our android and ios apps
[393]
however over the years the code became
[395]
more and more complicated and high
[397]
maintenance making it difficult to work
[399]
on new features
[401]
at that point we started to rewrite the
[403]
code this time with ladder in only one
[405]
codebase which has huge benefits for the
[407]
whole development team
[409]
now we only need half the time to
[411]
develop new features
[412]
for monetization we work with google
[414]
mobile ads for flutter to display
[416]
interstitial and rewarded videos
[419]
in-app purchases are integrated to
[421]
flutter as well that allow players to
[423]
buy a premium version or different coin
[425]
packs
[427]
to be honest we've been fine tuning and
[429]
optimizing our app for years and we
[431]
wondered whether a big rewrite might
[433]
impact our revenue or user base but
[435]
we've been pleasantly surprised to see
[437]
that wasn't the case at all we've been
[439]
able to make these changes without any
[441]
negative impact on usage or revenue
[445]
flutter has been a real game changer for
[447]
the future development of four pixel
[449]
word and we are very excited about
[451]
pushing the boundaries for this product
[453]
even further
[454]
it's wonderful to hear
[456]
thank you again for joining us today we
[458]
wish you all the success with four picks
[460]
one word
