Integrate i-mobile with Mediation

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

    The dashboard interface for i-mobile uses Japanese text for its labels, buttons, and descriptions. The screenshots in this guide have not been translated. In this guide's descriptions and instructions however, labels and buttons are translated with their English language equivalents in parentheses.

    Requirements

    • iOS deployment target of 12.0 or higher

    Step 1: Set up configurations in i-mobile UI

    Sign up or log in to your i-mobile account.

    Add your app to the i-mobile dashboard by clicking the サイト／アプリ管理 (Site/Application Management)tab and the button for your app's platform.

    Fill out the form and click the 新規登録 (Sign up)button.

    To create a new Advertising Spot, select your app under the サイト／アプリ管理 (Site/Application Management)tab.

    Navigate to the 広告スポット管理 (Ad Spot Management)tab and click the 新規広告スポット (New Ad Spot)button.

    create_ad_spot

    Next, fill out the form by providing the 広告スポット名 (Ad Spot name), 広告スポットサイズ (Ad Spot size)and other details. Then, click the 新規登録 (Sign up)button.

    new_ad_spot_form

    Your new Ad spotis ready. To view its integration details, click the アプリ設定取得 (Get App settings)button.

    ad_spot_list

    Take note of the パブリッシャーID (Publisher ID), メディアID (Media ID), and スポットID (Spot ID). You'll need these parameters later when configuring i-mobile for mediation in the Ad Manager UI.

    Update your app-ads.txt

    Authorized Sellers for Apps app-ads.txt is an IAB Tech Lab initiative that helps ensure your app ad inventory is only sold through channels you've identified as authorized. To prevent a significant loss in ad revenue, you'll need to implement an app-ads.txt file. If you haven't done so already, create an app-ads.txt file for Ad Manager .

    To implement app-ads.txt for i-mobile, see their Frequently Asked Questions .

    Step 2: Set up i-mobile demand in Ad Manager UI

    Configure mediation settings for your ad unit

    Sign in to your Ad Manager account .

    Navigate to Delivery > Yield groupsand click the New yield groupbutton.

    Enter a unique Namefor your yield group, set the Statusto Active, select your Ad Format, and set the Inventory typeto Mobile App. Under the Targeting > Inventorysection, select the ad unit under Inventoryand Mobile applicationto which you want to add mediation.

    Next, click the Add yield partnerbutton.

    If you already have a Yield partnerfor i-mobile, you can select it. Otherwise, select Create a new yield partner.

    Select i-mobileas the Ad network, enter a unique Nameand enable Mediation.

    Turn on Automatic data collection, and enter the Login name and API Password

    Once the Yield partneris selected, choose Mobile SDK Mediationas the Integration type, iOSas the Platform, and Activeas the Status. Enter the Publisher ID , Media ID and Spot ID obtained in the previous section. Then, enter a Default CPMvalue.

    Click Saveat the bottom of the page when done.

    Step 3: Import the i-mobile SDK and Adapter

    Add the following line to your project's Podfile:

     pod 'GoogleMobileAdsMediationIMobile'

    From the command line run:

     pod install --repo-update

    Manual integration

    • Download the latest version of the i-mobile SDK and link ImobileSdkAds.framework in your project.
    • Download the latest version of the i-mobile adapter from the download link in Changelog and link IMobileAdapter.framework in your project.

    Step 4: Add required code

    SKAdNetwork integration

    Follow i-mobile's documentation to add the SKAdNetwork identifiers to your project's Info.plist file.

    Step 5: Test your implementation

    Enable test ads

    Make sure you register your test device for Ad Manager. i-mobile provides test Spot ID, Media ID, and Publisher IDfor testing, you can find them here .

    Verify test ads

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

    Optional steps

    Using native ads

    Ad rendering

    The i-mobile adapter populates the following fields for a GADNativeAd .

    Field Assets always included by i-mobile adapter
    Headline
    Image
    Body
    App icon 1
    Call to action
    Star rating
    Store
    Price

    1 For native ads, the i-mobile SDK does not provide an app icon asset. Instead, the i-mobile adapter populates the app icon with a transparent image.

    Error codes

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

    Format Class name
    Banner IMobileAdapter
    Interstitial IMobileAdapter
    Native GADMediationAdapterIMobile

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

    Error code Reason
    0-10 i-mobile SDK returned an error. See code for more details.
    101 i-mobile server parameters configured in the Ad Manager UI are missing/invalid.
