  • Dear Game developers,

    UPDATE June 23, 2019:

    I have created an Udemy course entitled:

    How to monetize your Construct 2 games using Admob ads 2019

    Discount Coupons:

    You can click on this link to enroll. The coupons are embedded in the link.

    Go ahead and enroll today and start earning!

    I have also written an ebook to show you how to insert AdMob ads into your Construct 2 Android mobile games, and build it using PhoneGap build. At time of writing, trying to find out how to do this from the Internet, is quite challenging as there is no one reliable source that seems to work. Everything seems to be in bits and pieces all over the Internet. Some partially works, and some just fails. I have done the research and put together everything you need to know to get it to work.

    You can get it here.

    I wrote this book because… Cocoon.io has died. Coccon.io by Ludei was how I used to add AdMob into my Construct 2 Android mobile games. Unfortunately, the owners decided to close it all down in early 2019. I looked for an alternative and found PhoneGap. But getting AdMob and PhoneGap to play along was quite a challenge. Hence, this book.

    This book covers:

    * Creating a simple Construct 2 game

    * Adding Event Handlers

    * Installing AdMob Plugin

    * Creating admob event sheet

    * Using cordova admobfree plugin

    * Exporting a cordova project

    * Uploading to github

    * Creating a phonegap build account

    * Uploading files and building an apk

    * Installing and using Nox player android emulator

    * Creating a keystore with keytool

    * Signing an apk

    There is also an android app to accompany the book:

    You can get it here.

    Hope it helps those of you who are struggling to get Construct 2 to work with Admob and Phonegap.

    I wish you success in your game development!

    Paul
