Step 1: Set up configurations in ironSource Ads UI
Sign up and sign in to your ironSource Ads account.
To add your application to the ironSource Ads dashboard, click the New App button.
Enter app details
Select Live App, enter the URL of your app, and click Import App Info.
If your app is not available, select App Not Live in the Application Store and provide a Temporary Name for your app. Select your platform.
Fill out the rest of the form and click Add App.
Take note of your new App Key, which is displayed after the app has been added. You will need this value for setting up your AdMob ad unit ID. Select the ad formats your app supports. Then click Continue.

In addition to the App Key and Instance ID, you'll also need your ironSource Ads Secret Key and Refresh Token to set up your AdMob ad unit ID.
Navigate to My Account in your ironSource Ads publisher dashboard then click the API tab. Take note of your Secret Key and Refresh Token.
Turn on test mode
Follow the instructions in ironSource Ads's Integration testing guide on how to enable ironSource Ads test ads.

Add ironSource Mobile to GDPR and US state regulations ad partners list
Suivez les étapes indiquées dans Paramètres RGPD et Paramètres des réglementations des États américains pour ajouter ironSource Mobile à la liste des partenaires publicitaires sur le RGPD et les réglementations des États américains dans l' AdMob UI.
Step 3: Import the ironSource Ads SDK and adapter
Intégration via pub.dev
(Android uniquement) Ajoutez les dépôts suivants au fichier build.gradle
qu'il contient
le répertoire android
de votre projet:
repositories {
google()
mavenCentral()
maven {
url = uri("https://android-sdk.is.com/")
}
}
Ajoutez la dépendance suivante aux dernières versions de
IronSource
Le SDK et l'adaptateur dans le
Fichier pubspec.yaml
:
dependencies:
gma_mediation_ironsource: ^1.0.0
Intégration manuelle
Téléchargez la dernière version du plug-in de médiation Google Mobile Ads pour
IronSource
,
extraire le fichier téléchargé et ajouter le dossier du plug-in extrait
(et son contenu) à votre projet Flutter. Ensuite, référencez le plug-in dans votre
pubspec.yaml
en ajoutant la dépendance suivante:
dependencies:
gma_mediation_ironsource:
path: path/to/local/package
Step 4: Implement privacy settings on ironSource Ads SDK
EU Consent and GDPR
Under the Google EU User Consent Policy, you must ensure that certain disclosures are given to, and consents obtained from, users in the European Economic Area (EEA) regarding the use of device identifiers and personal data. This policy reflects the requirements of the EU ePrivacy Directive and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). When seeking consent, you must identify each ad network in your mediation chain that may collect, receive, or use personal data and provide information about each network's use. Google currently is unable to pass the user's consent choice to such networks automatically.
The Google Mobile Ads mediation plugin for ironSource Ads
includes the
GmaMediationIronsource().SetConsent()
method. The following sample code shows how to pass
consent information to the ironSource Ads SDK. If you choose to call this
method, it is recommended that you do so prior to requesting ads through the
Google Mobile Ads SDK.
import 'package:gma_mediation_ironsource/gma_mediation_ironsource.dart';
// ...
GmaMediationIronsource().setConsent(true);
See ironSource Ads's documentation on Regulation Advanced Settings for more details.
US state privacy laws
U.S. states privacy laws require giving users the right to opt out of the "sale" of their "personal information" (as the law defines those terms), with the opt-out offered via a prominent "Do Not Sell My Personal Information" link on the "selling" party's homepage. The U.S. states privacy laws compliance guide offers the ability to enable restricted data processing for Google ad serving, but Google is unable to apply this setting to each ad network in your mediation chain. Therefore, you must identify each ad network in your mediation chain that may participate in the sale of personal information and follow guidance from each of those networks to ensure compliance.
The Google Mobile Ads mediation plugin for ironSource Ads
includes the
GmaMediationIronsource().setDoNotSell
method. The following sample code shows how to pass
consent information to the ironSource Ads SDK. These options must be set before
you initialize the Google Mobile Ads
SDK
to ensure they get forwarded properly to the ironSource Ads SDK.
import 'package:gma_mediation_ironsource/gma_mediation_ironsource.dart';
// ...
GmaMediationIronsource().setDoNotSell(true);
See ironSource Ads's documentation on Regulation Advanced Settings for both Android and iOS for more details and the values that can be provided in the method.
Step 5: Add required code
Android
Proguard Rules
If you shrink, obfuscate, and optimize your app, IronSource Ads requires additional ProGuard rules for your project.
Consult
IronSource Ads's Android SDK Integration guide
for more information on what ProGuard rules are required for your project,
and add those rules to your proguard-user.txt
file.
Application lifecycle
Override the onPause()
and onResume()
methods in each of
your activities to call the corresponding ironSource Ads methods as follows:
Java
@Override
public void onResume() {
super.onResume();
IronSource.onResume(this);
}
@Override
public void onPause() {
super.onPause();
IronSource.onPause(this);
}
Kotlin
public override fun onResume() {
super.onResume()
IronSource.onResume(this)
}
public override fun onPause() {
super.onPause()
IronSource.onPause(this)
}
iOS
SKAdNetwork integration
Follow ironSource Ads's documentation to add the SKAdNetwork identifiers to your
project's Info.plist
file.
Step 6: Test your implementation
Activer les annonces tests
Veillez à enregistrer votre appareil de test pour AdMob et à activer le mode test dans l' IronSource UI.
Valider les annonces tests
Pour vérifier que vous recevez des annonces tests de IronSource , activez le test d'une source d'annonce unique dans l'inspecteur d'annonces à l'aide de ironSource Ads (Waterfall) sources d'annonces.
