Integrate LG U+AD with mediation

This guide is intended for publishers who are interested in using Google Mobile Ads mediation with LG U+AD. It walks through the setup of a mediation adapter to work with your current iOS app and the configuration of additional settings.

Prerequisites

• An iOS app with Google Mobile Ads SDK integrated (If you don't have one, see Get Started .)

• An AdMob account and an ad unit configured with mediation line items .

Helpful primers

The following Help Center articles provide background information on mediation:

• About AdMob Mediation
• Set up AdMob Mediation
• Optimize AdMob Network

Add LG U+AD to your project

Integrate ads into your app the same as before. To integrate non-interstitial ads (banner size, leaderboard size, and so on), see Banner Ads . To integrate interstitial ads (full-screen ads that mask all other content), see Interstitial Ads .

The following steps change your ad placement into a mediation placement that can show ads from multiple networks.

1. Download the adapter and SDK for LG U+AD from the resources above .

2. Add the downloaded network adapter/SDK in Xcode: right-click on your project and click Add Files to project .

3. Include any frameworks, compiler flags, or linker flags that LG U+AD require. There's no need to write additional code. Mediation invokes the LG U+AD adapter and SDK as necessary to create ads.

Set up event notification

To be notified of ad lifecycle events like impressions, you can implement a GADBannerViewDelegate . When using mediation, this delegate is automatically notified of events from LG U+AD. For example, impressions from any ad network are reported through the adViewDidReceiveAd: method of GADBannerViewDelegate .

Check the value of adNetworkClassName

You can optionally check the adNetworkClassName property on GADBannerView , which returns the ad network class name of the ad network that fetched the current banner once the adViewDidReceiveAd callback is called:

  func 
  
 adViewDidReceiveAd 
 ( 
 _ 
  
 bannerView 
 : 
  
 GADBannerView 
 ) 
  
 { 
  
 print 
 ( 
 "Banner adapter class name: 
 \( 
 bannerView 
 . 
 adNetworkClassName 
 ) 
 " 
 ) 
 } 
 

  - 
 ( 
 void 
 ) 
 adViewDidReceiveAd: 
 ( 
 GADBannerView 
  
 * 
 ) 
 bannerView 
  
 { 
  
 NSLog 
 ( 
 @"Banner adapter class name: %@" 
 , 
  
 bannerView 
 . 
 adNetworkClassName 
 ); 
 } 
 

Similarly, for interstitials, check the adNetworkClassName property on GADInterstitialAd inside interstitialDidReceiveAd :

  func 
  
 interstitialDidReceiveAd 
 ( 
 _ 
  
 ad 
 : 
  
 GADInterstitialAd 
 ) 
  
 { 
  
 print 
 ( 
 "Interstitial adapter class name: 
 \( 
 ad 
 . 
 adNetworkClassName 
 ) 
 " 
 ) 
 } 
 

  - 
 ( 
 void 
 ) 
 interstitialDidReceiveAd: 
 ( 
 GADInterstitialAd 
  
 * 
 ) 
 interstitial 
  
 { 
  
 NSLog 
 ( 
 @"Interstitial adapter class name: %@" 
 , 
  
 interstitial 
 . 
 adNetworkClassName 
 ); 
 }
