Step 1: Set up configurations in Chartboost UI
Inscreva-se em uma conta do Chartboost e faça login depois que sua conta for verificada. Acesse a guia Gerenciamento de apps.
Clique no botão Add new app para criar o app.
Preencha o restante do formulário e clique no botão Adicionar app para finalizar o app.
Depois que seu aplicativo for criado, você será direcionado para o painel dele. Anote o ID e a Assinatura do app.
Android
iOS
OAdMob requer o ID do usuário e a assinatura do usuário do Chartboost para configurar o AdMob ID do bloco de anúncios. Para encontrar esses parâmetros, clique em Mediação do Chartboost na interface do Chartboost.
Navegue até a guia Recursos > API Explorer e anote o ID do usuário e a Assinatura do usuário localizados na seção Autenticação.
Ativar modo de teste
Para ativar o modo de teste no app, acesse a guia Gerenciamento de apps na interface do Chartboost, selecione o app na lista e clique em Edit app settings.
Android
iOS
Nas configurações do app, é possível ativar ou desativar o Modo de teste.
Quando o modo de teste está ativado, é possível solicitar anúncios usando o ID do bloco de anúncios criado anteriormente e receber um anúncio de teste do Chartboost.
Depois que você puder receber anúncios de teste do Chartboost, seu aplicativo será colocado na Publisher App Review do Chartboost. Para que a monetização no Chartboost funcione, a análise do app do editor precisa ser aprovada pelo Chartboost.
Step 2: Set up Chartboost demand in AdMob UI
Definir as configurações de mediação para seu bloco de anúncios
Android
Para conferir instruções, consulte a etapa 2 no guia para Android.
iOS
Para instruções, consulte a etapa 2 no guia para iOS.
Add Chartboost to GDPR and US state regulations ad partners list
Siga as etapas em Configurações do GDPR e Configurações das regulamentações estaduais dos EUA para adicionar Chartboost à lista de parceiros de anúncios do GDPR e das regulamentações estaduais dos EUA na AdMob IU.
Step 3: Import the Chartboost SDK and adapter
Download the latest version of Google Mobile Ads mediation plugin for Chartboost
from the download link in the
Changelog and extract
GoogleMobileAdsChartboostMediation.unitypackage
from the zip file.
In your Unity project editor, select Assets > Import Package >
Custom Package and find the GoogleMobileAdsChartboostMediation.unitypackage
file you downloaded. Make sure that all the files are selected and click
Import.
Then, select Assets > Play Services Resolver > Android Resolver >
Force Resolve. The Unity Play Services Resolver library will perform
dependency resolution from scratch and copy the declared dependencies into the
Assets/Plugins/Android
directory of your Unity app.
Step 4: Implement privacy settings on Chartboost 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 Chartboost version 3.1.0 includes the
Chartboost.AddDataUseConsent()
method. The following sample code sets data use
consent to NonBehavioral
. If you choose to call this method, it is recommended
that you do so prior to requesting ads using the Google Mobile Ads SDK.
using GoogleMobileAds.Api.Mediation.Chartboost;
// ...
Chartboost.AddDataUseConsent(CBGDPRDataUseConsent.NonBehavioral);
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 Google Mobile Ads mediation plugin for Chartboost version 3.1.0 includes the
Chartboost.AddDataUseConsent()
method. The following sample code sets data use
consent to OptInSale
. If you choose to call this method, it is recommended
that you do so prior to requesting ads using the Google Mobile Ads SDK.
using GoogleMobileAds.Api.Mediation.Chartboost;
// ...
Chartboost.AddDataUseConsent(CBCCPADataUseConsent.OptInSale);
Step 5: Add required code
Android
No additional code is required for Chartboost integration.
iOS
SKAdNetwork integration
Follow Chartboost's
documentation
to add the SKAdNetwork identifiers to your project's Info.plist
file.
Step 6: Test your implementation
Ativar anúncios de teste
Registre seu dispositivo de teste em AdMob e ative o modo de teste na Chartboost interface.
Verificar anúncios de teste
Para verificar se você está recebendo anúncios de teste do Chartboost, ative os testes de uma única origem no Ad Inspector usando as Chartboost (Waterfall) origens de anúncios.
Optional Steps
Android
Permissions
For optimal performance, Chartboost recommends adding the following optional
permissions to your app's AndroidManifest.xml
file:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" />
iOS
No additional steps are required for iOS integration.
