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

Step 1: Set up configurations in AppLovin UI
Regístrate o accede a tu cuenta de AppLovin.
Para configurar tu AdMob unidad de anuncios, necesitarás la clave del SDK y la clave del informe de AppLovin. Para encontrarlas, ve a la IU de AppLovin > Account > Keys para ver ambos valores.
Si solo planeas integrar la licitación, puedes continuar con la configuración de la mediación.
Seleccionar aplicación para la mediación
Ofertas
Este paso no es obligatorio para las integraciones de ofertas.
Cascada
En la IU de AppLovin, selecciona Applications en la sección Monetization para acceder a tus apps registradas. Selecciona la app que quieres usar con la mediación de la lista de apps disponibles.
Crear una zona
Ofertas
Este paso no es obligatorio para las integraciones de ofertas.
Cascada
En la IU de AppLovin, selecciona Zones en la sección Monetization para obtener los IDs de tus zonas registradas. Si ya creaste las zonas requeridas para tu app, avanza al Paso 2. Para crear un ID de zona nuevo, haz clic en Crear zona.
Ingresa el nombre del ID de zona, selecciona Android como la Plataforma y elige el tipo de anuncio.
Configura la opción Precios para la zona. Para ello, selecciona CPM plano o, también, Optimizado por AppLovin. Los CPM se pueden configurar por país para la opción CPM plano. Luego, haz clic en Guardar.
Android
iOS
Una vez creada la zona, el ID de zona se puede encontrar en la columna ID de zona.

Add AppLovin Corp. to GDPR and US state regulations ad partners list
Sigue los pasos que se indican en Configuración del GDPR y Configuración de las reglamentaciones estatales de EE.UU. para agregar AppLovin Corp. a la lista de socios publicitarios de las reglamentaciones estatales de EE.UU. y el GDPR en la AdMob IU.
Step 3: Import the AppLovin SDK and adapter
Download the latest version of Google Mobile Ads mediation plugin for AppLovin
from the download link in the
Changelog and extract the
GoogleMobileAdsAppLovinMediation.unitypackage
from the zip file.
In your Unity project editor, select Assets > Import Package > Custom
Package and find the GoogleMobileAdsAppLovinMediation.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 AppLovin 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.
Since Google Mobile Ads mediation plugin version 7.0.0, AppLovin supports reading the consent string from shared preferences and setting the consent status accordingly.If you are
not using Google Mobile Ads mediation plugin for Applovin
version 7.0.0+ or
not using a CMP that writes the consent string into the shared
preferences, you can use
AppLovin.SetHasUserConsent()
and
AppLovin.SetIsAgeRestrictedUser()
methods. The following sample code shows how
to pass consent information to the AppLovin SDK. These options must be set
before you initialize the Google Mobile Ads SDK
to ensure they get forwarded properly to the AppLovin SDK.
using GoogleMobileAds.Api.Mediation.AppLovin;
// ...
AppLovin.SetHasUserConsent(true);
Additionally, if the user is known to be in an age-restricted category, you can
also set the below flag to true
.
AppLovin.SetIsAgeRestrictedUser(true);
See AppLovin's privacy settings for more information.
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 AppLovin
version 6.3.1
includes the
AppLovin.SetDoNotSell()
method. The following sample code shows how to pass
consent information to the AppLovin SDK. These options must be set before you
initialize the Google Mobile Ads
SDK
to ensure they get forwarded properly to the AppLovin SDK.
using GoogleMobileAds.Api.Mediation.AppLovin;
// ...
AppLovin.SetDoNotSell(true);
See AppLovin's Privacy documentation for more information.
Step 5: Add required code
Android
No additional code is required for AppLovin integration.
iOS
SKAdNetwork integration
Follow AppLovin's documentation to add the SKAdNetwork identifiers to your project's Info.plist` file.
Step 6: Test your implementation
Habilitar anuncios de prueba
Asegúrate de registrar tu dispositivo de prueba en AdMob y habilitar el modo de prueba en la AppLovin IU.
Cómo verificar los anuncios de prueba
Para verificar que recibes anuncios de prueba deAppLovin, habilita las pruebas de fuentes de anuncios individuales en el inspector de anuncios mediante la AppLovin (Bidding) and AppLovin (Waterfall) fuente de anuncios.
Optional steps
Optimizations
Adding a call to
AppLovin.Initialize()
to your launch activity provides
AppLovin the ability to track events as soon as the app starts.
Error codes
If the adapter fails to receive an ad from AppLovin,
publishers can check the underlying error from the ad response using
ResponseInfo
under the
following classes:
Android
com.google.ads.mediation.applovin.mediation.ApplovinAdapter
com.google.ads.mediation.applovin.AppLovinMediationAdapter
iOS
GADMAdapterAppLovin
GADMAdapterAppLovinRewardBasedVideoAd
GADMediationAdapterAppLovin
