Step 3: Import the AdColony SDK and adapter

  • Add the following line to your project's Podfile:

    pod 'GoogleMobileAdsMediationAdColony'

  • From the command line run:

    pod install --repo-update

Manual integration

  • Download the latest version of the AdColony SDK, and link AdColony.framework in your project.
  • Download the latest AdColony adapter from the download link in Changelog, and link AdColonyAdapter.framework in your project.
  • Add the following libraries and frameworks to Target > Build Phases > Link Binary With Libraries:
    • libz.1.2.5.tbd
    • AdSupport
    • AudioToolbox
    • AVFoundation
    • CoreMedia
    • CoreTelephony
    • JavaScriptCore
    • MessageUI
    • MobileCoreServices
    • SystemConfiguration
    • EventKit (OPTIONAL)
    • Social (OPTIONAL)
    • StoreKit (OPTIONAL)
    • WatchConnectivity (OPTIONAL)
    • WebKit (OPTIONAL)

Step 4: Implement privacy settings on AdColony SDK

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.

The AdColony adapter exposes an appOptions property to customize parameters to be sent to AdColony's SDK. Two methods relevant to GDPR on these options are -setPrivacyFrameworkOfType:isRequired: and -setPrivacyConsentString:forType:. The following sample code demonstrates how to pass consent information to the AdColony adapter, which are then used in AdColony's initialization method. These options must be set before you initialize the Google Mobile Ads SDK to ensure they get forwarded properly to AdColony's SDK.

Swift 

import AdColonyAdapter
//...

let appOptions = GADMediationAdapterAdColony.appOptions
appOptions?.setPrivacyFrameworkOfType(ADC_GDPR, isRequired: true)
appOptions?.setPrivacyConsentString("1", forType: ADC_GDPR)

Objective-C 

#import <AdColonyAdapter/AdColonyAdapter.h>
//...

AdColonyAppOptions *options = GADMediationAdapterAdColony.appOptions;
[options setPrivacyFrameworkOfType:ADC_GDPR isRequired:YES];
[options setPrivacyConsentString:@"1" forType:ADC_GDPR];

See AdColony's GDPR implementation details for more details about what values may be provided in these methods.

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 AdColony adapter exposes an appOptions property to customize parameters to be sent to AdColony's SDK. Two methods relevant to CCPA on these options are -setPrivacyFrameworkOfType:isRequired: and -setPrivacyConsentString:forType:. The following sample code demonstrates how to pass consent information to the AdColony adapter, which are then used in AdColony's initialization method. These options must be set before you initialize the Google Mobile Ads SDK to ensure they get forwarded properly to AdColony's SDK.

Swift 

import AdColonyAdapter
//...

let appOptions = GADMediationAdapterAdColony.appOptions
appOptions?.setPrivacyFrameworkOfType(ADC_CCPA, isRequired: true)
appOptions?.setPrivacyConsentString("1", forType: ADC_CCPA)

Objective-C 

#import <AdColonyAdapter/AdColonyAdapter.h>
//...

AdColonyAppOptions *options = GADMediationAdapterAdColony.appOptions;
[options setPrivacyFrameworkOfType:ADC_CCPA isRequired:YES];
[options setPrivacyConsentString:@"1" forType:ADC_CCPA];

See AdColony's CCPA implementation details for more details about what values may be provided in these methods.

Step 5: Add required code

SKAdNetwork integration

Follow AdColony's documentation to add the SKAdNetwork identifiers to your project's Info.plist file.

Step 6: Test your implementation

테스트 광고 사용 설정

AdMob 용 테스트 기기를 등록하고 AdColony UI에서 테스트 모드를 사용 설정해야 합니다.

테스트 광고 확인

AdColony에서 테스트 광고를 수신하고 있는지 확인하려면 광고 검사기에서 AdColony (Bidding) and AdColony (Waterfall) 광고 소스를 사용하여 단일 광고 소스 테스트를 사용 설정하세요.

Optional steps

Using interstitial and rewarded ads

The AdColony adapter supports additional request parameters which can be passed to the adapter using the GADMAdapterAdColonyExtras class. The GADMAdapterAdColonyExtras includes the following properties:

showPrePopup
Enable a reward dialog before showing the ad for a specific ad request in your app.
showPostPopup
Enable a reward dialog after showing the ad for a specific ad request in your app.

Here's a code example of how to set these parameters on the ad request:

Swift 

let request = GADRequest()
let extras = GADMAdapterAdColonyExtras()
extras.showPrePopup = true
extras.showPostPopup = true
request.registerAdNetworkExtras(extras)

Objective-C 

GADRequest *request = [GADRequest request];
GADMAdapterAdColonyExtras *extras = [[GADMAdapterAdColonyExtras alloc] init];
extras.showPrePopup = YES;
extras.showPostPopup = YES;
[request registerAdNetworkExtras:extras];

Verify your adapter and SDK versions

To log the adapter and SDK versions, use the following code snippet:

Class<GADMediationAdapter> adapterClass = NSClassFromString(@"GADMediationAdapterAdColony");
if (adapterClass != nil) {
  GADVersionNumber adapterVersion = [adapterClass version];
  GADVersionNumber sdkVersion = [adapterClass adSDKVersion];
  // Log the adapter patch version to 3 digits to represent the x.x.x.x versioning
  // used by adapters.
  NSLog(@"Adapter version: %zd.%zd.%03zd",
        adapterVersion.majorVersion,
        adapterVersion.minorVersion,
        adapterVersion.patchVersion);
  NSLog(@"SDK version: %zd.%zd.%zd",
        sdkVersion.majorVersion,
        sdkVersion.minorVersion,
        sdkVersion.patchVersion);
}

Logging the adapter version in Swift is not possible since the dynamic runtime feature does not exist in Swift, making it infeasible to dynamically create the class from the class name. If this is needed in Swift, it needs to be written in Objective-C and imported using a bridging header.

Error codes

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

GADMAdapterAdColony
GADMediationAdapterAdColony

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

Error code Reason
0 - 3 AdColony SDK returned an error. See documentation for more details.
101 Invalid server parameters (e.g. missing Zone ID).
102 Root view controller presenting the ad is nil.
103 The AdColony SDK returned an initialization error.
104 The AdColony SDK does not support being configured twice within a five second period.
105 Failed to show ad.
106 Zone used for rewarded is not a rewarded zone on AdColony portal.
