Select your app, navigate to the Placements tab, and click on the copy icon next to Placement Name. Take note of the Placement ID.
Publisher ID, Consumer Key and Consumer Secret
Click on your username from the left menu and select User Profile.
Take note of the Publisher ID, Consumer Key, and Consumer Secret as these are needed in the next step.
Step 2: Set up DT Exchange demand in Ad Manager UI
Configure mediation settings for your ad unit
Sign in to your Ad Manager account.
Navigate to Delivery > Yield groups and click the New yield group button.
Enter a unique Name for your yield group, set the Status to Active, select your Ad Format, and set the Inventory type to Mobile App. Under the Targeting > Inventory section, select the ad unit under Inventory and Mobile application to which you want to add mediation.
Next, click the Add yield partner button.
If you already have a Yield partner for DT Exchange, you can select it. Otherwise, select Create a new yield partner.
Select DT Exchange as the Ad network, enter a unique Name and enable Mediation.
Turn on Automatic data collection, and enter the Publisher ID, Consumer Secret and Consumer Key obtained in the previous section.
Once the Yield partner is selected, choose Mobile SDK Mediation as the Integration type, iOS as the Platform, and Active as the Status. Enter the Application ID and Placement ID obtained in the previous section. Then, enter a Default CPM value.
Click Save at the bottom of the page when done.
Add Fyber to GDPR and US state regulations ad partners list
Follow the steps in GDPR settings and US state regulations settings to add Fyber to the GDPR and US state regulations ad partners list in the Ad Manager UI.
Step 3: Import the DT Exchange SDK and adapter
Using CocoaPods (recommended)
Add the following line to your project's Podfile:
pod 'GoogleMobileAdsMediationFyber'
From the command line run:
pod install --repo-update
Manual integration
- Download the latest version of the
DT Exchange SDK for iOS
and link the following frameworks to your project:
IASDKCore.framework
IASDKMRAID.framework
IASDKVideo.framework
- Download the latest version of the DT Exchange adapter from the download
link in Changelog and link
FyberAdapter.framework
in your project. - Add the following frameworks to your project:
libxml2.2.tbd
Step 4: Implement privacy settings on DT Exchange 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.
DT Exchange contains an API that lets you forward user consent to their SDK. The following sample code shows how to pass consent information to the DT Exchange SDK manually. Should you choose to pass consent information to the DT Exchange SDK manually, it is recommended that this code is called prior to requesting ads through the Google Mobile Ads SDK.
Swift
import IASDKCore
// ...
IASDKCore.sharedInstance().gdprConsent = IAGDPRConsentType.given
IASDKCore.sharedInstance().gdprConsentString = "myGdprConsentString"
Objective-C
#import <IASDKCore/IASDKCore.h>
// ...
[IASDKCore.sharedInstance setGDPRConsent:YES];
[IASDKCore.sharedInstance setGDPRConsentString:@"myGdprConsentString"];
Visit DT Exchange's GDPR Resource Page and their GDPR implementation guide for more details and the values that may be provided in the method.
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.
DT Exchange contains an API that lets you forward user consent to their SDK. The following sample code shows how to pass consent information to the DT Exchange SDK manually. Should you choose to pass consent information to the DT Exchange SDK manually, it is recommended that this code is called prior to requesting ads through the Google Mobile Ads SDK.
Swift
import IASDKCore
// ...
IASDKCore.sharedInstance().ccpaString = "myCCPAConsentString"
Objective-C
#import <IASDKCore/IASDKCore.h>
// ...
[IASDKCore.sharedInstance setCCPAString:@"myCCPAConsentString"];
Visit DT Exchange's CCPA Resource Page and their CCPA implementation guide for more details and the values that may be provided in the method.
Step 5: Add required code
SKAdNetwork integration
Follow DT Exchange's documentation
to add the SKAdNetwork identifiers to your project's Info.plist
file.
Step 6: Test your implementation
Enable test ads
Make sure you register your test device for Ad Manager.
Verify test ads
To verify that you are receiving test ads from DT Exchange, enable single ad source testing in ad inspector using the DT Exchange (Waterfall) ad source(s).
Optional steps
Network-specific parameters
The DT Exchange adapter supports additional request parameters that can be
passed to the adapter using the GADMAdapterFyberExtras()
. The adapter looks
for the following keys in the bundle:
Request parameters and values | |
---|---|
setUserData The age, gender and zip code of the user. |
IAUserData |
setMuteAudio
|
Boolean. Mute or unmute video |
Here's a code example of how to set these ad request parameters:
Swift
let userData = IAUserData.build({ builder in
builder.age = 23
builder.gender = IAUserGenderType.male
builder.zipCode = "1234"
}];
let request = GADRequest()
let extras = GADMAdapterFyberExtras()
extras.userData = userData
extras.muteAudio = true
request.register(extras)
Objective-C
IAUserData *userData = [IAUserData build:^(id<IAUserDataBuilder> _Nonnull builder) {
builder.age = 23;
builder.gender = IAUserGenderTypeMale;
builder.zipCode = @"1234";
}];
GADRequest *request = [GADRequest request];
GADMAdapterFyberExtras *extras = [[GADMAdapterFyberExtras alloc] init];
extras.userData = userData;
extras.muteAudio = YES;
[request registerAdNetworkExtras:extras];
Consult the DT Exchange integration guide for more information.
Error codes
If the adapter fails to receive an ad from DT Exchange, you can check the
underlying error from the ad response using
GADResponseInfo.adNetworkInfoArray
under the following class:
GADMediationAdapterFyber
Here are the codes and accompanying messages thrown by the DT Exchange adapter when an ad fails to load:
Error code | Reason |
---|---|
0-10 | DT Exchange SDK returned an error. See documentation for more details. |
101 | DT Exchange server parameters configured in the Ad Manager UI are missing/invalid. |
102 | The requested ad size does not match a DT Exchange supported banner size. |
103 | Failed to show ad because ad object has already been used. |
104 | Failed to show DT Exchange ads due to ad not ready. |
105 | DT Exchange SDK returned an initialization error. |
