AppLovin MAX (iOS)

Introduction

Follow these simple instructions to set up InMobi as an ad network on MAX Mediation for the waterfall, in-app header bidding, or both.

Prerequisites

• You must have an account on MAX.
• Upgrade to the latest MAX SDK and use the correct adapter. Since InMobi SDK is bundled with MAX SDK, you don't need to carry out a separate integration.
• Sign a contract with InMobi.

Supported Ad Formats

Banner, Interstitial, Video (any format), and Native.

Waterfall Mediation

Use the MAX Certified Adapter to enable InMobi via waterfall on MAX Mediation. For more information, see InMobi Integration Guide on the AppLovin MAX Documentation Portal.

In-app Header Bidding

Use the MAX Certified Adapter to enable InMobi via in-app header bidding on MAX. For more information, see InMobi's bidding on AppLovin MAX documentation.

Hybrid Monetization on MAX: Bidding and Waterfall

InMobi now supports a hybrid monetization setup for publishers interested in testing and monetizing the same app and ad unit via bidding and waterfall. This is made possible using two separate adapters for bidding and waterfall, as listed below:

• Bidding: Use the MAX Certified Adapter.
• Waterfall: Use the MAX Custom Adapter.

Copy the customized CocoaPods code below to your Podfile:

# Sources  
source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'  
# Settings  
use_frameworks!  
inhibit_all_warnings!  
# Pods  
target 'YOUR_PROJECT_NAME' do  
   pod 'AppLovinSDK'  
   pod 'InMobiSDK', '10.1.2' 
   pod 'AppLovinMediationInMobiAdapter'  # for bidding 
   pod 'ALInMobiCustomAdapterFramework'# for Waterfall  
end

Bidding via Certified Adapter Integration

To use bidding in the hybrid monetization setup, follow the same steps as bidding-only setup. For more information on In-app Header Bidding, see InMobi's bidding on AppLovin MAX documentation.
