GoogleMobileAds Framework Reference

GADMobileAds

@interface GADMobileAds : NSObject

Google Mobile Ads SDK settings.

  • Returns the shared GADMobileAds instance.

    Declaration

    Swift

    class func sharedInstance() -> GADMobileAds

    Objective-C

    + (nonnull GADMobileAds *)sharedInstance;

  • Returns the Google Mobile Ads SDK’s version number.

    Declaration

    Swift

    var versionNumber: GADVersionNumber { get }

    Objective-C

    @property (nonatomic, readonly) GADVersionNumber versionNumber;

  • The application’s audio volume. Affects audio volumes of all ads relative to other audio output. Valid ad volume values range from 0.0 (silent) to 1.0 (current device volume). Defaults to 1.0.

    Warning: Lowering your app’s audio volume reduces video ad eligibility and may reduce your app’s ad revenue. You should only utilize this API if your app provides custom volume controls to the user, and you should reflect the user’s volume choice in this API.

    Declaration

    Swift

    var applicationVolume: Float { get set }

    Objective-C

    @property (nonatomic) float applicationVolume;

  • Indicates whether the application’s audio is muted. Affects initial mute state for all ads. Defaults to NO.

    Warning: Muting your application reduces video ad eligibility and may reduce your app’s ad revenue. You should only utilize this API if your app provides a custom mute control to the user, and you should reflect the user’s mute decision in this API.

    Declaration

    Swift

    var applicationMuted: Bool { get set }

    Objective-C

    @property (nonatomic) BOOL applicationMuted;

  • Manages the Google Mobile Ads SDK’s audio and video settings.

    Declaration

    Swift

    var audioVideoManager: GADAudioVideoManager { get }

    Objective-C

    @property (nonatomic, strong, readonly, nonnull) GADAudioVideoManager *audioVideoManager;

  • Request configuration that is common to all requests.

    Declaration

    Swift

    var requestConfiguration: GADRequestConfiguration { get }

    Objective-C

    @property (nonatomic, strong, readonly, nonnull) GADRequestConfiguration *requestConfiguration;

  • Initialization status of the ad networks available to the Google Mobile Ads SDK.

    Declaration

    Swift

    var initializationStatus: GADInitializationStatus { get }

    Objective-C

    @property (nonatomic, readonly, nonnull) GADInitializationStatus *initializationStatus;

  • Returns YES if the current SDK version is at least |major|.|minor|.|patch|. This method can be used by libraries that depend on a specific minimum version of the Google Mobile Ads SDK to warn developers if they have an incompatible version.

    Available in Google Mobile Ads SDK 7.10 and onwards. Before calling this method check if the GADMobileAds’s shared instance responds to this method. Calling this method on a Google Mobile Ads SDK lower than 7.10 can crash the app.

    Declaration

    Swift

    func isSDKVersionAtLeast(major: Int, minor: Int, patch: Int) -> Bool

    Objective-C

    - (BOOL)isSDKVersionAtLeastMajor:(NSInteger)major
                           minor:(NSInteger)minor
                           patch:(NSInteger)patch;

  • Starts the Google Mobile Ads SDK. Call this method as early as possible to reduce latency on the session’s first ad request. Calls completionHandler when the GMA SDK and all mediation networks are fully set up or if set-up times out. The Google Mobile Ads SDK starts on the first ad request if this method is not called.

    Declaration

    Swift

    func start() async -> GADInitializationStatus

    Objective-C

    - (void)startWithCompletionHandler:
    (nullable GADInitializationCompletionHandler)completionHandler;

  • Disables automated SDK crash reporting. If not called, the SDK records the original exception handler if available and registers a new exception handler. The new exception handler only reports SDK related exceptions and calls the recorded original exception handler.

    Declaration

    Swift

    func disableSDKCrashReporting()

    Objective-C

    - (void)disableSDKCrashReporting;

  • Disables mediation adapter initialization during initialization of the GMA SDK. Calling this method may negatively impact your ad performance and should only be called if you will not use GMA SDK controlled mediation during this app session. This method must be called before initializing the GMA SDK or loading ads and has no effect once the SDK has been initialized.

    Declaration

    Swift

    func disableMediationInitialization()

    Objective-C

    - (void)disableMediationInitialization;

  • Presents Ad Inspector. The device calling this API must be registered as a test device in order to launch Ad Inspector. Set GADMobileAds.sharedInstance.requestConfiguration.testDeviceIdentifiers to enable test mode on this device.

    Declaration

    Swift

    func presentAdInspector(from viewController: UIViewController?) async throws

    Objective-C

    - (void)presentAdInspectorFromViewController:
            (nullable UIViewController *)viewController
                           completionHandler:
                               (nullable GADAdInspectorCompletionHandler)
                                   completionHandler;

    Parameters

    viewController

    A view controller to present Ad Inspector. If nil, uses the top view controller of the app’s main window.
    completionHandler

    A handler to execute when Ad Inspector is closed.

  • Registers a web view with the Google Mobile Ads SDK to improve in-app ad monetization of ads within this web view.

    Declaration

    Swift

    func register(_ webView: WKWebView)

    Objective-C

    - (void)registerWebView:(nonnull WKWebView *)webView;

  • Generates a signal that can be used as input in a server-to-server Google request. Calls completionHandler asynchronously on the main thread once a signal has been generated or when an error occurs.

    Declaration

    Swift

    class func generateSignal(_ request: GADSignalRequest) async throws -> GADSignal

    Objective-C

    + (void)generateSignal:(nonnull GADSignalRequest *)request
     completionHandler:(nonnull GADSignalCompletionHandler)completionHandler;

    Parameters

    request

    The signal request that will be used to generate the signal.
    completionHandler

    A handler to execute when the signal generation is done.
