Integrate maio with Mediation

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

The dashboard interface for maio uses Japanese text for its labels, buttons, and descriptions, and the screenshots in this guide have not been translated. In this guide's descriptions and instructions however, labels and buttons are referenced with their English language equivalents. "URL スキーム," for example, is "URL Scheme," and so on.

Supported integrations and ad formats

The AdMob mediation adapter for maio has the following capabilities:

Integration
Bidding
Waterfall
Formats
Banner
Interstitial
Rewarded
Native

Requirements

  • iOS deployment target of 11.0 or higher
  • [For bidding]: maio adapter 1.5.8.0 or higher (latest version recommended)
  • Latest Google Mobile Ads SDK

Step 1: Set up maio network

First, sign up or log in to your maio account. Click the Application management button on the left sidebar and click on New app.

Select the tab corresponding to your preferred Ad Type.

Interstitial

Enter the Name of your app, set the platform as iOS and provide your App URL. Select Video interstitial as the Ad Type, and then click Update.

Rewarded

Enter the Name of your app, set the platform as iOS and provide your App URL. Select Video Rewards as the Ad Type, and then click Update.

In the Application Management page, make a note of the Media ID. It's needed to set up your AdMob ad unit in the next section.

In the Zone Management page, make a note of the Zone ID. It will also be needed to set up your AdMob ad unit in the next section.

[Waterfall only] Get API ID and API Key

In addition to Media ID and Zone ID, you will need API ID and API KEY to set up your iOS ad unit ID for mediation.

In Reporting API page, make a note of API ID and API KEY.

Step 2: Configure mediation settings for your AdMob ad unit

You need to add maio to the mediation configuration for your ad unit. First sign in to your AdMob account.

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 maio 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 as shown below:

Add maio as an ad source

Bidding

Under the Bidding card in the Ad Sources section, select Add Ad Source. Then select maio.

Next, enter the Publisher ID obtained in the previous section and click Done.

Finally, click Save.

Waterfall

In the Ad Sources card, select Add Ad Network. Select maio as the ad network and enter the API ID and API KEY obtained in previous section to set up ad source optimization for maio. Then enter an eCPM value for maio and click Continue.

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

Next, enter a Mapping name, Media ID and Zone ID obtained in the previous section. Then click Done.

Using rewarded video ads

In the settings for your rewarded video ad unit, provide values for the reward amount and reward type. Then, to ensure you provide the same reward to the user no matter which ad network is served, check the Apply to all networks in Mediation groups box.

If you don't apply this setting, the maio adapter defaults to a reward of type "" (empty string) with a value of 1. The maio SDK does not provide specific reward values for its rewarded video ads.

For more information on setting reward values for AdMob ad units, see Create an ad unit.

Step 3: Import the maio SDK and adapter

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

    pod 'GoogleMobileAdsMediationMaio'

  • From the command line run:

    pod install --repo-update

Manual integration

  • Download the latest version of the maio SDK.
  • Download the latest version of the maio adapter from the download link in the Changelog, and link maioAdapter.framework in your project.

Step 4: Additional code required

No additional code is required for maio iOS integration.

Step 5: Test your implementation

Publishers using version 7.26.0 or higher of the Google Mobile Ads SDK will automatically receive test ads from maio on phones and tablets registered as test devices when making requests.

Error codes

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

Format Class name
Interstitial GADMMaioInterstitialAdapter
Rewarded GADMMaioRewardedAdapter

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

Error code Reason
0-10 maio returned an SDK-specific error. See maio's code for more details.
101 maio does not yet have an ad available.
102 Invalid server parameters (e.g. missing Placement ID).
103 The maio adapter does not support the ad format being requested.
104 An ad is already loaded for this network configuration.
