# Google Mobile Ads SDK - Install

## Workflow

1.  **Determine the user's platform**: Identify if the project is Android, iOS,
    or Unity. If unclear, ask before proceeding.

2. **Read the platform guide** for implementation details:
    - Android: `references/android-get-started.md`
    - iOS: `references/ios-get-started.md`
    - Unity: `references/unity-get-started.md`

3. **Follow these steps in order**:
   - [ ] Add the SDK dependency
   - [ ] Set the application identifier
   - [ ] Initialize the SDK
   - [ ] Verify the integration

4. After the SDK is successfully installed, ask the user to select an ad format
   to continue the integration.
