UNity ads (in windows build) gives error (error CS0246: The type or namespace name `ShowResult' )

Question

So I am intregrating unity ads into my projects. They sort of work with android...sometimes. However when I build the windows 86/64 build, it gives this error.

Assets/Plugins/AddCoins.cs(31,39): error CS0246: The type or namespace name `ShowResult' could not be found. Are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?

I am assuming this is not understood by windows. How do I get rid of this error and build for windows?

Here is the AddCoins Script. I added some error checking to see what is happening. It's on this line (private void HandleShowResult(ShowResult result).

 using UnityEngine;
 using UnityEngine.Advertisements;
 /////////////////////////////////////////////////////
 public class AddCoins : MonoBehaviour
 {
     static public bool adReady = false;
     static public int adState = 0;
     /////////////////////////////////////////////////////
     public void Update()
     {
         if (Advertisement.IsReady ("rewardedVideo")) 
         {
             adReady = true;
         } 
         else 
         {
             adReady = false;
         }
     }
     /////////////////////////////////////////////////////
     public void ShowRewardedAd()
     {
         ////////////////////////////////////////////////////
         if (Advertisement.IsReady ("rewardedVideo")) 
         {
             var options = new ShowOptions { resultCallback = HandleShowResult };
             Advertisement.Show ("rewardedVideo", options);
         } 
     }
     /////////////////////////////////////////////////////
     private void HandleShowResult(ShowResult result)
     {
         
         switch (result)
         {
         case ShowResult.Finished:
             Debug.Log("The ad was successfully shown.");
             adState = 1;
             CoinsHas.coinsLeft = CoinsHas.coinsLeft + 1;
             break;
         case ShowResult.Skipped:
             Debug.Log("The ad was skipped before reaching the end.");
             adState = 2;
             break;
         case ShowResult.Failed:
             Debug.LogError("The ad failed to be shown.");
             adState = 3;
             break;
         }
         //Save Coins
         ES2.Save (CoinsHas.coinsLeft, "...");
     }
     /////////////////////////////////////////////////////

I had this problem as well - solved it by going to the Ads under services ( Window -> Services ) and then under advanced tick in "Enable buildin Ads extensions"

You can try compiler directives. In a simple form, use something like the following:

 #if UNITY_ANDROID
     // Android specific code
 #elif UNITY_IPHONE
     // iPhone specific code
 #else
     // other platforms
 #endif

There is some more information in below link:

https://docs.unity3d.com/353/Documentation/Manual/PlatformDependentCompilation.html

I have a similar case to yours, so I put both above functions into an #if. I also want to call the ShowRewardedAd function from somewhere else. But if the compiler doesn't compile it, then I will get a runtime error, so I made a different function named ShowUnityRewardedAd and I am calling that one. My project is not yet complete and I can not compile for IOS due to some other problem. Therefore below code is not fully tested and I may have some loose ends but basically this is how I did it:

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 using UnityEngine.Advertisements;
 
 public class UnityAdScript : MonoBehaviour {
 
     public static bool unityAdWatched;
 
 
     public void ShowUnityRewardedAd()
     {
         unityAdWatched = false;
 
         #if UNITY_ANDROID || UNITY_IPHONE
             ShowRewardedAd();
         #endif
     }
 
 
 #if UNITY_ANDROID || UNITY_IPHONE
     private void ShowRewardedAd()
     {
         if (Advertisement.IsReady("rewardedVideoZone"))
         {
             var options = new ShowOptions { resultCallback = HandleShowResult };
 
             Advertisement.Show("rewardedVideoZone", options);
         }
     }
 
 
     private void HandleShowResult(ShowResult result)
     {
         switch (result)
         {
             case ShowResult.Finished:
                 Debug.Log("The ad was successfully shown.");
                 //
                 // YOUR CODE TO REWARD THE GAMER
                 // Give coins etc.
                 unityAdWatched = true;
 
                 break;
             case ShowResult.Skipped:
                 Debug.Log("The ad was skipped before reaching the end.");
                 break;
             case ShowResult.Failed:
                 Debug.LogError("The ad failed to be shown.");
                 break;
         }
     }
 #endif
 }
