Manual integration

  • Download the latest version of the Pangle SDK for iOS and link all the .framework files and bundles in your project.
  • Download the latest version of the Pangle adapter from the download link in the Changelog and link PangleAdapter.xcframework in your project.

Step 4: Add required code

SKAdNetwork integration

Follow Pangle's documentation to add the SKAdNetwork identifiers to your project's Info.plist file.

Step 5: Test your implementation

Enable test ads

Make sure you register your test device for Ad Manager and enable test mode in Pangle UI.

Verify test ads

To verify that you are receiving test ads from Pangle, enable single ad source testing in ad inspector using the Pangle (Bidding) and Pangle (Waterfall) ad source(s).

Optional Steps

Native ads

Ad rendering

The Pangle adapter returns its native ads as GADNativeAd objects. It populates the following fields for a GADNativeAd.

Field Assets always included by Pangle adapter
Headline
Image 1
Body
Icon
Call to action
Star rating
Store
Price
Advertiser

1 The Pangle adapter does not provide direct access to the main image asset for its native ads. Instead, the adapter populates the GADMediaView with a video or an image.

Error codes

If the adapter fails to receive an ad from Pangle, you can check the underlying error from the ad response using GADResponseInfo.adNetworkInfoArray under the following classes:

GADMediationAdapterPangle

Here are the codes and accompanying messages thrown by the Pangle adapter when an ad fails to load:

Error code Domain Reason
101 com.google.ads.mediation.pangle Invalid server parameters (e.g. Missing app ID or placement ID).
102 com.google.ads.mediation.pangle The requested ad size does not match a Pangle supported banner size.
