Step 3. Activate Digital Turbine in the SDK Networks Setup Module

There are a few parameters from your Digital Turbine account which need to be inserted into your SDK Network Setup Module on the ironSource platform in order for Digital Turbine to work correctly in connection with ironSource SDK:

Publisher ID, 

Consumer Key, 

Consumer Secret

This is a unique identifiers for your Digital Turbine account, which allows the ironSource Platform to import performance data from your Digital Turbine account to use in reporting & optimization.
App ID This is a unique identifier of your application in Digital Turbine system.
Placement ID This is the unique spot which Digital Turbine will deliver ads to.

Once you obtain this information, you must configure Digital Turbine Parameters in your ironSource Account. By adding the above information correctly, you will be able to take full advantage of Digital Turbine ad inventory and reporting data on the ironSource platform.

  1. Publisher ID,  Consumer Key,  Consumer Secret
    Navigate to the ‘User Profile‘ page and you will locate them on the bottom part of the page under ‘Reporting API Keys’
  2. App ID, Placement ID
    Navigate to ‘Inventory’  ‘Manage Apps & Sites’ ➣ Select the relevant application from the list ➣ Select ‘Integration Options’ from menu on the right.

Configure Digital Turbine Parameters into ironSource  Account

  • Once you have all of these parameters, log in to your ironSource account and go to ‘Monetize‘ ➣ ‘Mediation‘ ➣ ‘SDK Networks‘.
  • Select Digital Turbine from the list of Available Ad Networks and enter the Digital Turbine ‘Publisher ID‘, ‘Consumer Key‘, ‘Consumer Secret‘. Click ‘Save‘.

  • Make sure to define the app on which you’d like to run Unity LevePlay with Digital Turbine. Go to the Digital Turbine row on the Setup list of Ad Networks and click on the ‘Setup‘ button.
  • Insert the App ID‘ on the application level, and ‘Placement ID‘  for the relevant Ad Units.
  • Click ‘Save’.
  • Activate requested Ad Units.
  • Verify your integration with the Reporting API; this column will check your integration through the Reporting API and return three possible responses: Verified, Failed and No Response. Double check your integration and the information you entered above; then click ‘Retry‘ until you see ‘Verified’.

Step 4. Add the Digital Turbine Adapter to Your Build

 ironSource SDK supports both Gradle dependencies and manual download mechanisms for the adapter, while Digital Turbine SDK is available with manual download only.

Gradle:

    1. Make sure the following Maven URL exist in your build.gradle script of your app module.
repositories {
    maven {
        url "https://android-sdk.is.com/"
    }
}
  1. Add the adapter’s Maven name to your build.gradle script of your app module.
    dependencies {
        implementation 'com.ironsource.adapters:fyberadapter:4.3.30'
        implementation "com.fyber:marketplace-sdk:8.2.6"
    }


Manual
 download:

  1. Download the Digital Turbine Adapter:

Verify Your Ad Network Integration

  • Verify your ad network integration with our Integration Helper. The ironSource SDK provides a tool to ensure you’ve successfully integrated our SDK as well as any additional network adapters.
  • Manage the debug logs for your integrated mediation ad networks with this boolean
    IronSource.setAdaptersDebug(true);

    When set to TRUE, this line of code will enable debug logs to help you troubleshoot issues with all of your mediation ad networks. Remove this code before your app goes live with our ad units!
