Integrate AppLovin with mediation

This guide shows you how to use the Google Mobile Ads SDK to load and display ads from AppLovin using AdMob Mediation, covering both waterfall and bidding integrations. It covers how to add AppLovin to an ad unit's mediation configuration, and how to integrate the AppLovin SDK and adapter into an iOS app.

Supported integrations and ad formats

The mediation adapter for AppLovin has the following capabilities:

Integration
Bidding
Waterfall
Formats
Banner  1
Interstitial
Rewarded
Native

Banner ads (excluding MREC banners) are supported only in mediation. Bidding does not support any type of banner ads.

Requirements

  • iOS deployment target of 12.0 or higher
  • [For bidding]: To integrate all supported ad formats in bidding, use the AppLovin adapter 6.3.0.0 or higher (latest version recommended).

Step 1: Set up configurations in AppLovin UI

Sign up or log in to your AppLovin account.

To set up your AdMob ad unit, you'll need your AppLovin SDK Key and Report Key. To find them, go to the AppLovin UI > Account > Keys to see both values.

If you plan on just integrating bidding, you can proceed to configure your mediation settings.

Select app for mediation

Bidding

This step isn't required for bidding integrations.

Waterfall

On the AppLovin UI, select Applications under the Monetization section to get to your registered apps. Select the app you'd like to use with mediation from the list of available apps.

Create a zone

Bidding

This step isn't required for bidding integrations.

Waterfall

On the AppLovin UI, select Zones under the Monetization section to get to your registered zone IDs. If you have already created the required zones for your app, skip ahead to Step 2. To create a new zone ID, click Create Zone.

Enter the name of Zone ID, select Android as the Platform, and choose the Ad Type.

Configure Pricing for the zone by selecting either Flat CPM or Optimized by AppLovin. CPMs can be configured on a per country basis for the Flat CPM option. Then, click Save.

Once the zone is created, the zone ID can be found under the Zone ID column.

Turn on test mode

Follow the instructions in AppLovin's MAX Test Mode guide on how to enable AppLovin test ads.

Step 2: Set up AppLovin demand in AdMob UI

Configure mediation settings for your ad unit

You need to add Applovin to the mediation configuration for your ad unit.

First, sign in to your AdMob account. Next, navigate to the Mediation tab. If you have an existing mediation group you'd like to modify, click the name of that mediation group to edit it, and skip ahead to Add Applovin as an ad source.

To create a new mediation group, select Create Mediation Group.

Enter your ad format and platform, then click Continue.

Give your mediation group a name, and select locations to target. Next, set the mediation group status to Enabled, and then click Add Ad Units.

Associate this mediation group with one or more of your existing AdMob ad units. Then click Done.

You should now see the ad units card populated with the ad units you selected:

Add Applovin as an ad source

Bidding


Under the Bidding card in the Ad Sources section, select Add Ad Source. Then select Applovin .
Click How to sign a partnership agreement and set up a bidding partnership with Applovin.
Click Acknowledge & agree, then click Continue.
If you already have a mapping for Applovin, you can select it. Otherwise, click Add mapping.
Next, enter the SDK Key obtained in the previous section. Then click Done.

Waterfall


Under the Waterfall card in the Ad Sources section, select Add Ad Source. Then select Applovin.

Select Applovin and enable the Optimize switch. Enter the Report Key obtained in the previous section to set up ad source optimization for Applovin. Then enter an eCPM value for Applovin and click Continue.



If you already have a mapping for Applovin, you can select it. Otherwise, click Add mapping.

Next, enter the Bundle ID of your app along with the SDK Key and the Zone ID obtained in the previous section. Then click Done.

Add Applovin Corp. to GDPR and US state regulations ad partners list

Follow the steps in GDPR settings and US state regulations settings to add Applovin Corp. to the GDPR and US state regulations ad partners list in the AdMob UI.

Step 3: Import the AppLovin SDK and adapter

  • Add the following line to your project's Podfile:

    pod 'GoogleMobileAdsMediationAppLovin'

  • From the command line run:

    pod install --repo-update

Manual integration

  • Download the latest version of the AppLovin iOS SDK and link ApplovinSDK.framework in your project.

  • Download the latest version of the AppLovin adapter from the download link in the Changelog and link ApplovinAdapter.framework in your project.

  • Add the following frameworks to your project:

    • AdSupport
    • AVFoundation
    • CoreGraphics
    • CoreMedia
    • CoreTelephony
    • StoreKit
    • SystemConfiguration
    • UIKit
    • WebKit
    • libz.tbd

Step 4: Implement privacy settings on AppLovin SDK

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.

Since SDK version 12.0.0, AppLovin supports reading the consent string from UserDefaults and setting the consent status accordingly.

If you are not using AppLovin SDK version 12.0.0+ or not using a CMP that writes the consent string into the UserDefaults , you can use the setHasUserContent method. The following example passes consent information to the AppLovin SDK. You must set these options before you initialize the Google Mobile Ads SDK to ensure they get forwarded properly to the AppLovin SDK.

Swift 

import AppLovinSDK
// ...

ALPrivacySettings.setHasUserConsent(true)

Objective-C 

#import <AppLovinSDK/AppLovinSDK.h>
// ...

[ALPrivacySettings setHasUserConsent:YES];

See AppLovin's privacy settings for more information.

Declare child users

Starting from AppLovin SDK 13.0.0, AppLovin no longer supports age-restricted user flags and you may not initialize or use the AppLovin SDK in connection with a "child" as defined under applicable laws. For more information, see AppLovin's documentation on Prohibition on Children Data or Using the Services for Children or Apps Exclusively Targeted to Children .

AppLovin adapter version 13.0.0.1 or higher disables AppLovin mediation automatically for apps that declare either of the following settings with the Google Mobile Ads SDK:

If you are using AppLovin adapter version 12.6.1.0 or earlier, refer to AppLovin's documentation on setting the age-restricted user flag with the AppLovin SDK.

US states 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 AppLovin SDK includes the setDoNotSell method to let publishers opt out of the sale of personal information.

The following example passes this consent information to the AppLovin SDK. You must set these options before you initialize the Google Mobile Ads SDK to ensure they get forwarded properly to the AppLovin SDK.

Swift 

import AppLovinSDK
// ...

ALPrivacySettings.setDoNotSell(true)

Objective-C 

#import <AppLovinSDK/AppLovinSDK.h>
// ...

[ALPrivacySettings setDoNotSell:YES];

See AppLovin's Privacy documentation for more information.

Step 5: Add required code

SKAdNetwork integration

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

Step 6: Test your implementation

Enable test ads

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

Verify test ads

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

Optional steps

Network-specific parameters

The AppLovin adapter supports muteAudio, an optional extra to disable audio on video ads. You can pass this parameter to the adapter using the GADMAdapterAppLovinExtras class and you must set it on every ad request. Here's how to set it:

Swift 

let request = GADRequest()
let extras = GADMAdapterAppLovinExtras()
extras.muteAudio = false
request.register(extras)

Objective-C 

GADRequest *request = [GADRequest request];
GADMAdapterAppLovinExtras * extras = [[GADMAdapterAppLovinExtras alloc] init];
extras.muteAudio = NO;
[request registerAdNetworkExtras:extras];

Optimizations

Initializing the AppLovin SDK as soon as your app launches provides AppLovin the ability to track events as soon as the app starts.

Swift 

let sdk = ALSdk.shared(withKey: "sdkKey")
sdk?.initializeSdk()

Objective-C 

ALSdk *sdk = [ALSdk sharedWithKey:@"sdkKey"];
[sdk initializeSdk];

Error codes

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

GADMAdapterAppLovin
GADMAdapterAppLovinRewardBasedVideoAd
GADMediationAdapterAppLovin

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

Error code Reason
-1009 to -1, 204 AppLovin SDK returned an error. See AppLovin's documentation for more details.
101 The requested ad size does not match an AppLovin supported banner size.
102 AppLovin server parameters configured in the AdMob UI are missing/invalid.
103 Failed to show AppLovin ad.
104 Requested multiple ads for the same zone. AppLovin can only load 1 ad at a time per zone.
105 AppLovin SDK key not found.
107 Bid token is empty.
108 AppLovin Adapter does not support the ad format being requested.
110 AppLovin sent a successful load callback but loaded zero ads.
111 Unable to retrieve instance of the AppLovin SDK.
112 User is a child.
