Step 1: Set up Pangle

Add a new application

Navigate to the Applications tab and click on the Add App button.

Select iOS as the Operating System and fill out the rest of the form. Then, click Submit.

Take note of your application's App ID.

Create an ad placement

Once your application has been created, click on the Add button as shown below to create your ad placement.

Select your Ad Format and Ad Placement Name, and select In-App Bidding as the Pricing Type. Fill out the rest of the form and click Submit.

Once your ad placement is created, take note of the Ad Placement ID.

Step 2: Configure bidding settings for your Ad Manager ad unit

Enable secure signal sharing

Navigate to Admin > Global settings. Go to the Ad Exchange account settings tab and review and toggle on Secure signal sharing. Click Save.

Navigate to Inventory > Secure signals, then toggle on the Status for Pangle. Click Save.

Configure Pangle bidding

Navigate to Delivery > Bidders, and select Pangle under the Authorized buyers tab.

Go to the Settings tab and toggle on Allow secure signal sharing. Then, click Save.

Next, go to the Ad unit mapping tab and click New ad unit mapping.

Select Specific ad unit, your Ad Format, Mobile app as the Inventory type, and your Mobile application. Then, enter App ID and Ad Placement ID obtained in the previous section. Finally, click Save.

Step 3: Import the Pangle SDK and adapter

Using CocoaPods (recommended)

Add the following line to your project's Podfile:
```
pod 'GoogleMobileAdsMediationPangle'
```
From the command line run:
```
pod install --repo-update
```

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: Additional code required

SKAdNetwork integration

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

Step 5: Test your implementation

See the How to add Test Ad guide for detailed instructions on how to enable Pangle test ads.

That's it! You now have a working mediation integration with Pangle.

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.
-1-60000	Sent by Pangle SDK	Pangle SDK returned an error. See Pangle's documentation for more details.
