If you do not see Verified, double check your integration and the information you entered, then click Retry until you see Verified.

Step 4. Add the AdMob Adapter to Your Build

Android

ironSource SDK supports both Gradle dependencies and manual download mechanisms.

To integrate the AdMob Adapter with Gradle:

Make sure the following Maven URL exist in your build.gradle script of your app module (should appear only once for all the adapters).

repositories {

    google()

    maven {

        url “http://dl.bintray.com/ironsource-mobile/android-adapters”

    }

}

2. Add the adapter’s Maven name to your build.gradle script of your app module:

To integrate the AdMob Adapter through Manual Download:

1. Download the AdMob Adapter:
   Add the AdMob Adapter to your build. You can find the latest AdMob Adapter here.
   Important! The AdMob Adapter Does not contain the AdMob SDK. You need to additionally add the AdMob SDK directly.
2. Add the AdMob Adapter to your Project:
   After you download the Adapter; drop the AdMob Adapter jar into the libs folder in your Android Project.
   
3. Make sure you add the following to your Gradle build file under the dependencies section:
   

   dependencies {
       implementation 'com.unity3d.ads-mediation:applovin-adapter:4.3.53'
       implementation 'com.applovin:applovin-sdk:13.2.0'
   }

Step 5. Update AndroidManifest.xml

As of ironSource Android SDK Version 6.17.0 (AdMov Android adapter version 4.3.10+), AdMob adapter will be released as AAR. Only if you intend to keep your Jar integration, please add the manifest.

Manifest Permissions:

<uses-permission android:name=”android.permission.INTERNET”/>

<uses-permission android:name=”android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE”/>

Manifest Activities:

Add the following activities inside the <application> tag on your manifestAdditions:

<activity android:name=”com.google.android.gms.ads.AdActivity”

android:configChanges=”keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenLayout|uiMode|screenSize|smallestScreenSize” android:theme=”@android:style/Theme.Translucent” />

As of V17.0.0 (Adapter version 4.3.1 onwards), AdMob’s SDK requires publishers to add their AdMob App ID to the app’s AndroidManifest as a child of the <application></application> tag:

<meta-data android:name=”com.google.android.gms.ads.APPLICATION_ID”

           android:value=”[ADMOB_APP_ID]”/>

Replace the “[ADMOB_APP_ID]” with the APP ID value you retrieved in step 3.

Not doing so results in crashes originated with AdMob’s SDK. For more information please refer to AdMob’s guide.
