  • Deprecated

    Use GADMediationNativeAd and GADMediationAdapter instead.

    Indicates whether the custom event handles user clicks. Return YES if the custom event should handle user clicks. In this case, the Google Mobile Ads SDK doesn’t track user clicks and the custom event must notify the Google Mobile Ads SDK of clicks using +[GADMediatedNativeAdNotificationSource mediatedNativeAdDidRecordClick:]. Return NO if the custom event doesn’t handles user clicks. In this case, the Google Mobile Ads SDK tracks user clicks itself and the custom event is notified of user clicks through -[GADMediatedUnifiedNativeAd didRecordClickOnAssetWithName:view:viewController:].

    Declaration

    Swift

    func handlesUserClicks() -> Bool

    Objective-C

    - (BOOL)handlesUserClicks;

  • Deprecated

    Use GADMediationNativeAd and GADMediationAdapter instead.

    Indicates whether the custom event handles user impressions tracking. If this method returns YES, the Google Mobile Ads SDK will not track user impressions and the custom event must notify the Google Mobile Ads SDK of impressions using +[GADMediatedNativeAdNotificationSource mediatedNativeAdDidRecordImpression:]. If this method returns NO, the Google Mobile Ads SDK tracks user impressions and notifies the custom event of impressions using -[GADMediatedUnifiedNativeAd didRecordImpression].

    Declaration

    Swift

    func handlesUserImpressions() -> Bool

    Objective-C

    - (BOOL)handlesUserImpressions;
