Step 5. Add the Smaato adapter to your build

ironSource supports both Gradle dependencies and manual download mechanisms.

Gradle:

1. Make sure the following Maven URL exist in your build.gradle script of your app module .

   repositories
   maven 
   { 
      url "https://s3.amazonaws.com/smaato-sdk-releases/" 
      url "https://android-sdk.is.com/"
   }
    
   

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

   implementation 'com.ironsource.adapters:smaatoadapter:4.3.12'
   implementation 'com.smaato.android.sdk:smaato-sdk-banner:22.7.1'
   implementation 'com.smaato.android.sdk:smaato-sdk-in-app-bidding:22.7.1'
   implementation 'com.smaato.android.sdk:smaato-sdk-interstitial:22.7.1'
   implementation 'com.smaato.android.sdk:smaato-sdk-rewarded-ads:22.7.1'

Manual download:

1. Download the Smaato Adapter:
   Add the Smaato Adapter and SDK to your build. You can find the latest Smaato files here.
2. Add the Smaato Adapter to your Project:
   After you download the Adapter; drop the SmaatoAdapter AAR into the libs folder in your Android Project.
   
3. Make sure you add the following to your Gradle build file under the dependencies section:
   

   implementation 'com.ironsource.adapters:smaatoadapter:4.3.12'
   implementation 'com.smaato.android.sdk:smaato-sdk-banner:22.7.1'
   implementation 'com.smaato.android.sdk:smaato-sdk-in-app-bidding:22.7.1'
   implementation 'com.smaato.android.sdk:smaato-sdk-interstitial:22.7.1'
   implementation 'com.smaato.android.sdk:smaato-sdk-rewarded-ads:22.7.1'

4. Download the Smaato  file from here:  
   1. If using Eclipse: Import the .AAR file as a library project.
   2. If using Android Studio, download the Smaato .AAR file and add as a dependency to your own module. Go to File ➣ New ➣ New Module ➣ Import .AAR and navigate to the location where the Smaato .AAR file has been downloaded.
      

Step 6. Additional configuration

If your application targets Android 9 Pie (API level 28) or higher, follow the integration steps below.

1. Configure the networkSecurityConfig attribute in the application tag in AndroidManifest.xml:
   

   android:networkSecurityConfig="@xml/network_security_config"

    

2. Create the network_security_config.xml in the XML resource directory with:
   

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
   <network-security-config>
      <base-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="true" />
   </network-security-config>
