Preparing mediated networks

When you integrate third-party SDKs into your Mobile Property, you are solely responsible for such integrations. You and the third-party SDK provider must ensure compliant data processing and treatment of any user-based or device-based privacy choices or flags.

You can download and integrate the MAX mediation adapters into your app in two ways:

CocoaPods
AppLovin recommends that you integrate adapters this way. AppLovin’s adapters’ pods automatically integrate the mediated network’s SDK and its dependencies.
Open Source Adapters
If you require more flexibility in the integration, you can integrate AppLovin’s open source adapters. You are responsible for integrating the mediated SDKs and any dependencies they require. You can find these adapters in the AppLovin-MAX-SDK-iOS GitHub repository.

Do not change the adapter’s name. If you do so, the MAX SDK cannot recognize the adapter and ads will not load.

CocoaPods

Choose which mediated ad networks you want to integrate by checking the boxes below. Then this page displays instructions specific to those networks. This page also customizes a CocoaPods script for you. Copy the customized CocoaPods script below to your Podfile.

    Starting from Pangle iOS adapter version 4.9.1.0.0, Pangle is no longer available in Chinese Mainland. To monetize Chinese Mainland traffic, configure the CSJ network and add the CSJ adapter. For global traffic that excludes Chinese Mainland, you can continue to use Pangle for monetization.

    Swift build settings

    To support Swift for iOS versions below 12.2:

    1. In the main target of your Xcode project select File > Build Settings.
    2. Set Always Embed Swift Standard Libraries to Yes.

    Setting: Always Embed Swift Standard Libraries. AppLovin MAX Demo App: Yes.

    App delegate window property

    Do not remove the window property of your App Delegate file. If you do so, InMobi’s SDK may crash.

    @property (nonatomic, strong) UIWindow *window;
    

    Meta Audience Network data processing options

    If you do not want to enable Limited Data Use (LDU) mode, pass SetDataProcessingOptions() an empty array:

    #import <FBAudienceNetwork/FBAudienceNetwork.h>
    ⋮
    [FBAdSettings setDataProcessingOptions: @[]];
    ⋮
    // Initialize MAX SDK
    

    To enable LDU for users and to specify user geography, call SetDataProcessingOptions() like this:

    #import <FBAudienceNetwork/FBAudienceNetwork.h>
    ⋮
    [FBAdSettings setDataProcessingOptions: @[@"LDU"] country: «country» state: «state»];
    ⋮
    // Initialize MAX SDK
    

    Using Google UMP

    If you use Google UMP as your CMP, you can determine whether the user has consented to Meta or not. To do so, use code like the following:

    NSNumber *hasMetaConsent = [ALPrivacySettings additionalConsentStatusForIdentifier: 89];
    if ( hasMetaConsent )
    {
      BOOL consentGiven = hasMetaConsent.boolValue;
      // Set Meta Data Processing Options accordingly.
    }
    else
    {
      // AC String is not available on disk. Please check for consent status after the user completes the CMP flow.
    }
    

    Meta Audience Network data processing options for users in California

    To learn how to implement Meta Audience Network’s “Limited Data Use” flag in California, read the Meta for Developers documentation.

    Meta preparing for iOS 14.5 and above

    Audience Network SDK 6.2.1 introduces these important requirements:

    • Implement the setAdvertiserTrackingEnabled flag, irrespective of the use of mediation. This informs Meta whether it can use the data to deliver personalized ads.
    • Add the SKAdNetwork IDs that Meta suggests to the Xcode project’s Info.plist so that advertisers can measure the success of ad campaigns. Refer to the SKAdNetwork documentation for integration instructions.
    [sdk initializeSdkWithCompletionHandler:^(ALSdkConfiguration *sdkConfiguration)
    {
       if ( @available(iOS 14.5, *) )
       {
         // Note that App transparency tracking authorization can be checked via `sdkConfiguration.appTrackingTransparencyStatus`
         // 1. Set Meta ATE flag here, THEN
       }
    
       // 2. Load ads
    }];
    

    Developers and publishers who use Google AdSense, AdManager, or AdMob must use a consent management platform (CMP) that Google certifies. The CMP must integrate with IAB’s Transparency and Consent Framework when you serve ads to users in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the UK. See Privacy: “TCF v2 consent” for more information.

    Add your Google bidding and Google AdMob / Google Ad Manager app ID

    In your app’s Info.plist, add a GADApplicationIdentifier key. Give this key the String value of your Google bidding and Google AdMob / Google Ad Manager App ID.

    GADApplicationIdentifier (String): «YOUR_ADMOB_APP_ID»

    Initialize the Amazon SDK

    The Amazon Publisher Services SDK requires that you initialize it outside MAX SDK:

    [[DTBAds sharedInstance] setAppKey: appId];
    [DTBAds sharedInstance].mraidCustomVersions = @[@"1.0", @"2.0", @"3.0"];
    [DTBAds sharedInstance].mraidPolicy = CUSTOM_MRAID;
    

    Use the latest Amazon Publisher Services adapter version to avoid reporting discrepancies.

    Load a banner or MREC ad from Amazon’s SDK

    To integrate Amazon ads into MAX, you must load the Amazon ad first. Before you load the MAX ad, pass the DTBAdResponse or DTBAdErrorInfo into the instance of MAAdView. You can do this by calling -[MAAdView setLocalExtraParameterForKey:value:].

    For auto-refreshing banner ads you need to load the ad only once.

    @interface ExampleViewController ()<DTBAdCallback>
    ⋮
    @end
    
    @implementation ExampleViewController
    
    - (void)viewDidLoad
    {
      [super viewDidLoad];
    
      NSString *amazonAdSlotId;
      MAAdFormat *adFormat;
    
      if ( UIDevice.currentDevice.userInterfaceIdiom == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPad )
      {
        amazonAdSlotId = @"«Amazon-leader-slot-ID»";
        adFormat = MAAdFormat.leader;
      }
      else
      {
        amazonAdSlotId = @"«Amazon-banner-slot-ID»";
        adFormat = MAAdFormat.banner;
      }
    
      CGSize rawSize = adFormat.size;
      DTBAdSize *size = [[DTBAdSize alloc] initBannerAdSizeWithWidth: rawSize.width
                                                              height: rawSize.height
                                                         andSlotUUID: amazonAdSlotId];
    
      DTBAdNetworkInfo *adNetworkInfo = [[DTBAdNetworkInfo alloc] initWithNetworkName: DTBADNETWORK_MAX];
      DTBAdLoader *adLoader = [[DTBAdLoader alloc] initWithAdNetworkInfo: adNetworkInfo];
      [adLoader setAdSizes: @[size]];
      [adLoader loadAd: self];
    }
    
    - (void)onSuccess:(DTBAdResponse *)adResponse
    {
      // 'adView' is your instance of MAAdView
      [self.adView setLocalExtraParameterForKey: @"amazon_ad_response" value: adResponse];
      [self.adView loadAd];
    } 
    
    - (void)onFailure:(DTBAdError)error dtbAdErrorInfo:(DTBAdErrorInfo *)errorInfo
    {
      // 'adView' is your instance of MAAdView
      [self.adView setLocalExtraParameterForKey: @"amazon_ad_error" value: errorInfo];
      [self.adView loadAd];
    }
    
    @end
    

    Load an interstitial ad from Amazon’s SDK

    To integrate Amazon interstitial ads into MAX, you must load the Amazon ad first. Before you load the MAX ad, pass the DTBAdResponse or DTBAdErrorInfo into the instance of MAInterstitialAd. You can do this by calling -[MAInterstitialAd setLocalExtraParameterForKey:value:].

    You must load and pass the Amazon DTBAdResponse or DTBAdErrorInfo into the MAInterstitialAd instance only once per session.

    #import <AppLovinSDK/AppLovinSDK.h>

    You must load and pass the Amazon DTBAdResponse or DTBAdErrorInfo into the MARewardedAd instance only once.

    Testing Amazon Publisher Services

    AppLovin recommends that you enable test mode for Amazon’s SDK. When you do this, you receive test ads. Enable test mode with the following calls:

    [[DTBAds sharedInstance] setLogLevel: DTBLogLevelAll];
    [[DTBAds sharedInstance] setTestMode: YES];
    

    You can filter your waterfalls such that they contain only Amazon ads. To do this, navigate to Select Live Network in the Mediation Debugger and select the Amazon network.

    Disable app transport security

    To disable App Transport Security (ATS), add NSAppTransportSecurity to your app’s Info.plist. Then add the key NSAllowsArbitraryLoads and set its Boolean value to YES. Make sure this is the only key present.

    App Transport Security Settings (Dictionary): 1 item. Allow Arbitrary Loads (Boolean): YES.

    SKAdNetwork

    Refer to the SKAdNetwork documentation for integration instructions.

    Install the new pods

    Run the following on the command line.

    pod install --repo-update
