Rewarded and Fullscreen Video

🚧

Before you begin!

Make sure that you have completed the iOS Mopub Adapter installation before you begin integrating the Rewarded/Fullscreen video ad unit

Integrating the Rewarded/Fullscreen video ad unit

Step 1: Add import statement

Add the following import statement in your pre-compiled header. If your application is written in swift add it to your bridging-header.

#import <AppnextMoPubAdapter/AppnextMoPubAdapter.h>

Step 2 (optional): Additional configuration

Advanced ad unit configuration

The Appnext SDK provides an option to change the ad unit’s configuration.

By default, the SDK configuration will be loaded from Appnext's server, but you can choose to change it by

• creating a class that inherits from AppnextMoPubCustomEventFullScreenVideo/AppnextMoPubCustomEventRewardedVideo
• override the - (AppnextAdConfiguration *) getAdConfiguration method
• returning an AppnextFullScreenVideoAdConfiguration/AppnextRewardedVideoAdConfiguration object.

For Fullscreen

@implementation CustomisedAppnextMoPubCustomEventFullScreenVideo

- (AppnextAdConfiguration *) getAdConfiguration
{
    AppnextFullScreenVideoAdConfiguration *configuration = [[AppnextFullScreenVideoAdConfiguration alloc] init];
    configuration.categories = @"Action";
    configuration.postback = @"MyPostbackParams";
    configuration.buttonText = @"Install";
    configuration.buttonColor = @"#ffffff";
    configuration.progressType = ANProgressTypeDefault;
    configuration.progressColor = @"ffffff";
    configuration.videoLength = ANVideoLengthDefault;
    configuration.mute = NO;
    configuration.clickInApp = YES;
    configuration.preferredOrientation = kPreferredOrientationTypeStringAutomatic;

    return configuration;
}

@end

For Rewarded

@implementation AppnextMoPubRewardedVideoCustomEvent

- (AppnextAdConfiguration *) getAdConfiguration
{
    AppnextRewardedVideoAdConfiguration *configuration = [[AppnextRewardedVideoAdConfiguration alloc] init];
    configuration.categories = @"Action";
    configuration.postback = @"MyPostbackParams";
    configuration.buttonText = @"Install";
    configuration.buttonColor = @"#ffffff";
    configuration.progressType = ANProgressTypeDefault;
    configuration.progressColor = @"ffffff";
    configuration.videoLength = ANVideoLengthManaged;
    configuration.mute = NO;
    configuration.clickInApp = YES;  
    configuration.preferredOrientation = kPreferredOrientationTypeStringAutomatic;

    return configuration;
}
AppnextMoPubGlobalMediationSettings *appnextSettings = [[AppnextMoPubGlobalMediationSettings alloc] init];
appnextSettings.config = configuration;
[MPRewardedVideo loadRewardedVideoAdWithAdUnitID:kRealRewardedAdUnitID withMediationSettings:@[appnextSettings]];
@end

❗️

Important Note

Since version 1.8.2 of the SDK, the server to server rewarded postback settings are taken from the Mopub defined ad unit. There is no need to use the Appnext rewarded settings anymore.

Step 3: login to your MoPub account and configure Appnext

As explained above, you must have an MoPub account, and an associated app within this account, in order to integrate Appnext.

Step 4: select your app and click to monetize it

• Within your MoPub account, press the ‘Apps’ tab. Create a new app and add a new ad unit

• Appnext must be integrated as a custom event of a fullscreen ad unit (For fullscreen video) or as a Rewarded ad unit (landscape / portrait). If your app does not have an ad unit, you should create a new ad unit by clicking on your app’s name:

• After clicking on your app’s name, you will need to click the “Add an Ad Unit” button:

For Fullscreen video:

• Define your Ad Unit, by selecting the following:
• Device - select a device type (Phone / Tablet)
• Format - select “Fullscreen 320 x 480”
• Name - enter a name for your ad unit
• Layout - choose “Portrait” or “Landscape” according to your app orientation
• Frequency cap - optional, but not recommended

Click the “Save” button

For Rewarded video:

Define your Ad Unit, by selecting the following:

• Device - select a device type (Phone / Tablet)

• Format - select “Rewarded Video (Fullscren)

• Name - enter a name for your ad unit

• Frequency cap - optional, but not recommended

• Rewarded settings - Add your rewarded settings. The adapter will use only the Mopub's rewarded postback settings

  Click the “Save” button

Step 5: Configure Appnext as a network (if you haven’t done it in the past)

You will to configure Appnext as an ad network and associate it with your Ad Unit.

• Click on the “Networks” tab

• Click on the “New network” button

• Select “Custom Native Network”:

• Set up the Custom SDK Network:
  Network bane - enter a name for the new network: “Appnext”

*. Set Up Your Inventory as describe:

i. Scroll down to find your app

ii. Under your app, find your Fullscreen or Rewarded Ad Unit (same ad unit that was created on step 9)
iii. Add the following class to the “CUSTOM EVENT CLASS” section [- 2nd cube in the line ]:

AppnextMoPubCustomEventFullScreenVideo
// Or for rewarded video:
AppnextMoPubRewardedVideoCustomEvent

iv. Add your app’s Placement ID (available on the Appnext platform) to the “CUSTOM EVENT CLASS DATA” section:

{"AppnextPlacementId":"YOUR_PLACEMENT_ID_HERE"}

The data in this section should be in JSON format.

v. Configure Appnext’s Interstitial from the server (optional):

You can configure several elements in the Appnext Interstitial, without editing your client-side integration, by passing their values in the “CUSTOM EVENT CLASS DATA” section:

{"AppnextPlacementId":"YOUR_PLACEMENT_ID_HERE","AppnextButtonText":"Install","AppnextButtonColor":"#6AB344","AppnextCategories":"Action","AppnextPostback":"Your_Postback","AppnextMute":"false","AppnextProgressType":"clock","AppnextProgressColor":"#ffffff","AppnextVideoLength":"30","AppnextShowClose":"true","AppnextOrientation":"not_set","AppnextClickinApp":"YES"}

Configuring the Ad Unit on this section, will overwrite the default and custom ad unit configuration, set in the client-side integration step.

Step 6: Create / edit your App’s ad unit’s segment

In order for Appnext ads to appear in your ad unit, you must set a priority for Appnext ads, by creating a segment and configure Appnext’s eCPM accordingly.

• Go to the “Segments” tab:

• Go to “Global Segments”:

• Click on your Ad Unit (under your app) and set the eCPM for the Appnext network

• Set the Frequency Caps:
  a. Hourly Impression Cap (optional)
  b. Daily Impression Cap (optional)
  c. Allocation Percentage (optional)

Click the “Save” button

Step 7: You’re all done!

Your MoPub SDK should start showing Appnext ads immediately.
If Appnext ads are not shown, check the eCPM allocation and make sure it’s high enough so it will give Appnext priority.

❗️

Important Note

Each placement has a Placement ID. If you integrate multiple placements, you will need to use a different Placement ID for each.

App Categories

Make sure to encode (%20) categories with more than 1 word, example: Travel%20%26%20Local
