How does it work?
Ad Manager helps you monetize your mobile app through in-app advertising. Ads can be displayed as banner, interstitial, video, or native ads—which are seamlessly added to platform native UI components.
Before you can display ads within your app, you'll need an Ad Manager account and activate one or more ad unit IDs. This is a unique identifier for the places in your app where ads are displayed.
Ad Manager uses the Google Mobile Ads SDK which helps app developers gain insights about their users and maximize ad revenue. To do so, the default integration of the Mobile Ads SDK collects information such as device information.
