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, [set up an app-ads.txt file for your app](https://support.google.com/admob/answer/9363762). To implement `app-ads.txt` for Pangle, see [How to add Pangle to your app-ads.txt file](https://www.pangleglobal.com/integration/app-ads-txt). ### Turn on test mode Follow the instructions in Pangle's [How to add a Test Ad](https://pangleglobal.com/integration/add-Test-Ad) guide on how to enable Pangle test ads. ## Step 2: Set up Pangle demand in AdMob UI ### Configure mediation settings for your ad unit ### Android For instructions, see step 2 in the guide for [Android](https://developers.google.com/admob/android/mediation/pangle.md.txt#step-2). ### iOS For instructions, see step 2 in the guide for [iOS](https://developers.google.com/admob/ios/mediation/pangle.md.txt#step-2). ### Add Pangle DSP to GDPR and US state regulations ad partners list > [!IMPORTANT] > **Important:** Verify that you have **Account Management** permission to complete the configuration for EU Consent and GDPR, US State regulations, and User Messaging Platform. See [Manage user access to your > account](https://support.google.com/admob/answer/2784628) for details. Follow the steps in [European regulations settings](https://support.google.com/admob/answer/10113004#adding_ad_partners_to_published_gdpr_messages) and [US state regulations settings](https://support.google.com/admob/answer/14125907) to add **Pangle DSP** to the European and US state regulations ad partners list in the AdMob UI. ## Step 3: Import the Pangle SDK and adapter > [!NOTE] > **Note:** Google integration with Pangle uses the same adapter for all Pangle bidding ad sources: Pangle US, Pangle KR, and Pangle ROW. Failure to integrate the compatible Pangle and Google Mobile Ads SDK for React Native versions might lead to build issues. In your project's root directory, install the Google Mobile Ads SDK for React Native mediation adapter for Pangle. Complete the following: 1. Copy the Google Mobile Ads SDK for React Native adapter tar file from the `gma-sdk-react-native/adapters/pangle/` directory into your project's `local_packages/` directory. If you don't have the `adapters` folder, see [Prerequisites](https://developers.google.com/admob/react-native/mediation/pangle.md.txt#prerequisites). ```bash mkdir -p local_packages cp EXTRACT_DIR/gma-sdk-react-native/adapters/pangle/gma-mediation-pangle-0.1.0.tgz local_packages/ ``` Replace EXTRACT_DIR with the path to the directory where you extracted the archive. 2. Install the adapter package using your preferred package manager: ### npm ```bash npm install ./local_packages/gma-mediation-pangle-0.1.0.tgz ``` ### yarn ```bash yarn add ./local_packages/gma-mediation-pangle-0.1.0.tgz ``` 3. If you're building for Android, add the following repository to the `build.gradle` file in your project's `android` directory: ```groovy repositories { google() mavenCentral() maven { url = uri("https://artifact.bytedance.com/repository/pangle/") } } ``` ## Step 4: Implement privacy settings on Pangle SDK ### EU consent and GDPR To [comply with the Google EU User Consent Policy](https://www.google.com/about/company/consentstaging.html), you must make certain disclosures to your users in the European Economic Area (EEA), the UK, and Switzerland, and obtain their consent for the use of cookies or other local storage where legally required, and for the collection, sharing, and use of personal data for ads personalization. This policy reflects the requirements of the EU ePrivacy Directive and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). You are responsible for verifying that consent is propagated to each ad source in your mediation chain. Pangle React Native adapter version 0.1.0 and later supports passing GDPR consent signals from [UMP SDK](https://developers.google.com/admob/react-native/privacy.md.txt) and consent management platforms that integrate with [Google's Additional Consent specification](https://support.google.com/admob/answer/9681920) to Pangle SDK. ### US states privacy laws [US states privacy laws](https://support.google.com/admob/answer/9561022) 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 through a prominent "Do Not Sell My Personal Information" link on the "selling" party's homepage. The [US states privacy laws compliance guide](https://developers.google.com/admob/react-native/privacy/us-states) offers the ability to enable [restricted data processing](https://privacy.google.com/businesses/rdp/) 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 following sample code shows how to pass consent information to the Pangle SDK. Set consent information before you [initialize Google Mobile Ads SDK for React Native](https://developers.google.com/admob/react-native/quick-start.md.txt#initialize_the_sdk) to ensure they get forwarded properly to the Pangle SDK. ```javascript import { PangleMediation, PanglePAConsentType, } from '@google/gma-mediation-pangle'; // ... PangleMediation.setPAConsent(PanglePAConsentType.CONSENT); ``` See [Pangle's integration guide](https://www.pangleglobal.com/integration/android-initialize-pangle-sdk) for more details and the values that can be provided in each method. ## Step 5: Add required code ### Android No additional code required for Pangle integration. ### iOS ### SKAdNetwork integration Follow [Pangle's documentation](https://pangleglobal.com/integration/ios14-readiness) 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](https://developers.google.com/admob/react-native/test-ads.md.txt#enable_test_devices) for AdMob and [enable test mode](https://developers.google.com/admob/react-native/mediation/pangle.md.txt#turn-on-test-mode) in Pangle UI. > [!IMPORTANT] > **Important:** Disable test mode for AdMob and Pangle before releasing your app. ### Verify test ads To verify that you are receiving test ads from Pangle, enable [single ad source testing](https://developers.google.com/admob/react-native/ad-inspector#single_ad_source_testing) in ad inspector using the **Pangle (Waterfall), Pangle US SDK (Bidding), Pangle KR SDK (Bidding), and Pangle ROW SDK (Bidding)** ad source(s). ## Error codes If the adapter fails to receive an ad from Pangle, publishers can check the underlying error from the ad response using [`ResponseInfo`](https://developers.google.com/admob/react-native/response-info.md.txt) under the following classes: ### Android ```java com.pangle.ads com.google.ads.mediation.pangle.PangleMediationAdapter ``` ### iOS ```objective-c GADMediationAdapterPangle ``` Here are the codes and accompanying messages thrown by the Pangle adapter when an ad fails to load: ### Android | Error code | Domain | Reason | |---|---|---| | 101 | com.google.ads.mediation.pangle | Invalid server parameters (e.g. Missing app ID or placement ID). | | 102 | com.google.ads.mediation.pangle | The requested ad size does not match a Pangle supported banner size. | | 103 | com.google.ads.mediation.pangle | Pangle SDK does not support child users. | | -1-60000 | com.pangle.ads | Pangle SDK returned an error. See Pangle's [documentation](https://pangleglobal.com/support/doc/error-code) for more details. | ### iOS | Error code | Domain | Reason | |---|---|---| | 101 | com.google.mediation.pangle | Invalid server parameters (e.g. Missing app ID or placement ID). | | 102 | com.google.mediation.pangle | The requested ad size does not match a Pangle supported banner size. | | 104 | com.google.mediation.pangle | Pangle SDK does not support child users. | | -1-60000 | Sent by Pangle SDK | Pangle SDK returned an error. See Pangle's [documentation](https://pangleglobal.com/support/doc/error-code) for more details. | #### Version 0.1.0 - Initial release. - Supports [Pangle Android adapter version 8.3.0.3.0](https://github.com/googleads/googleads-mobile-android-mediation/blob/main/ThirdPartyAdapters/pangle/CHANGELOG.md#version-83030). - Supports [Pangle iOS adapter version 8.2.1.0.0](https://github.com/googleads/googleads-mobile-ios-mediation/blob/main/adapters/Pangle/CHANGELOG.md#version-82100). - Built and tested with the Google Mobile Ads React Native Plugin version 0.1.0.
