dependencies:
  gma_mediation_liftoffmonetize: ^1.0.0

Manual Integration

Download the latest version of Google Mobile Ads mediation plugin for Liftoff Monetize, extract the downloaded file, and add the extracted plugin folder (and its contents) to your Flutter project. Then, reference the plugin in your pubspec.yaml file by adding the following dependency:

dependencies:
  gma_mediation_liftoffmonetize:
    path: path/to/local/package

Step 4: Implement privacy settings on Liftoff Monetize 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 Liftoff Monetize includes the GmaMediationLiftoffmonetize.setGDPRStatus() method. The following sample code shows how to pass consent information to the Vungle SDK. If you choose to call this method, it is recommended to call it prior to requesting ads through the Google Mobile Ads SDK.

import 'package:gma_mediation_liftoffmonetize/gma_mediation_liftoffmonetize.dart';
// ...

GmaMediationLiftoffmonetize.setGDPRStatus(true, "1.0.0");

See GDPR recommended implementation instructions for Android and iOS for more details and the values that can be provided in the method.

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 Liftoff Monetize includes the GmaMediationLiftoffmonetize.setCCPAStatus() method. The following sample code shows how to pass consent information to the Vungle SDK. If you choose to call this method, it is recommended to call it prior to requesting ads through the Google Mobile Ads SDK.

import 'package:gma_mediation_liftoffmonetize/gma_mediation_liftoffmonetize.dart';
// ...

GmaMediationLiftoffmonetize.setCCPAStatus(true);

See CCPA recommended implementation instructions for Android and iOS for more details and the values that can be provided in the method.

Step 5: Add required code

Step 6: Test your implementation

Enable test ads

Make sure you register your test device for AdMob and enable test mode in Liftoff Monetize UI.

Verify test ads

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

Error codes

If the adapter fails to receive an ad from Liftoff Monetize, publishers can check the underlying error from the ad response using ResponseInfo under the following classes:

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

For errors that come from the Vungle SDK, refer to Error Codes: Vungle SDK for iOS and Android.
