Migrate to Unity LevelPlay 2.0.0

Replace the legacy IronSource integration with Unity LevelPlay SDK 9 on Android and iOS. This release introduces LevelPlay’s object-based ad lifecycle, adds complete banner and manual rewarded-ad support, updates mediated networks, and modernizes privacy and attribution configuration.

This is a breaking release with no backward compatibility. Projects upgrading from 1.x must replace the ironsource Lua API and [iron_source] configuration with levelplay and [levelplay].

Release notes

• Depends on LevelPlay Android SDK 9.5.0, iOS SDK 9.5.0.0, and Ad Quality SDK 9.8.0.
• Renames the Lua module from ironsource to levelplay.
• Introduces reusable ad objects for interstitial, rewarded, and banner ads.
• Adds complete banner APIs, including adaptive sizes, safe-area positioning, visibility controls, and auto-refresh controls.
• Adds explicit rewarded-ad loading on Android and iOS.
• Allows each ad object to use its own ad-unit ID and optional bid floor.
• Supports per-show placements, placement capping, and rewarded-placement information.
• Adds structured callbacks containing ad-unit, placement, network, revenue, reward, size, and error information.
• Adds GDPR, CCPA, COPPA, Meta Limited Data Use, and iOS App Tracking Transparency APIs.
• Adds integration validation and the LevelPlay Integration Test Suite.
