Installation

Run following commands in project root directory

$ npm install react-native-appodeal --save

$ react-native link react-native-appodeal

iOS

1. Go to ios/ folder and open Podfile
2. Add Appodeal adapters. See Docs

Note. Appodeal requires to use use_frameworks! . You need to remove Flipper dependency from Podfile and AppDelegate

3. Run pod install

<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
<dict>
  <key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key>
  <true/>
</dict>

Add GADApplicationIdentifier key (if you use APDGoogleAdMobAdapter).

<key>GADApplicationIdentifier</key>
<string>YOUR_ADMOB_APP_ID</string>

6. Run your project ( Cmd+R )

Android

1. Add Appodeal adapters.

Add dependencies into build.gradle (module: app)

dependencies {
    ...
    implementation 'com.appodeal.ads:sdk:2.6.3.+'
    ...
}

Add repository into build.gradle (module: project)

allprojects {
    repositories {
        ...
        maven { url "https://artifactory.appodeal.com/appodeal" }
        ...
    }
}

Note. You can change following implementation to use custom mediation setup. See Docs

2. Enable multidex

In build.gradle (module: app)

defaultConfig {
    ...
    multiDexEnabled true
    ...
}
...
dependencies {
    ...
    implementation 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.3'
    ...
}

3. Set all required permissions in AndroidManifest.xml. See Docs

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

4. Network security configuration

Add the Network Security Configuration file to your AndroidManifest.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest>
    <application 
		...
        android:networkSecurityConfig="@xml/network_security_config">
    </application>
</manifest>

In your network_security_config.xml file, add base-config that sets cleartextTrafficPermitted to true :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<network-security-config>
    <base-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="true">
        <trust-anchors>
            <certificates src="system" />
            <certificates src="user" />
        </trust-anchors>
    </base-config>
    <domain-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="true">
        <domain includeSubdomains="true">127.0.0.1</domain>
    </domain-config>
</network-security-config>

5. Admob Configuration (if you use Admob adapter)

<manifest>
    <application>
        <meta-data
            android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.APPLICATION_ID"
            android:value="[ADMOB_APP_ID]"/>
    </application>
</manifest>

Presentation

Note. All presentation specific methods are available only after SDK initialisation

1. Caching

If you disable autocache you should call cache method before trying to show any ad

Appodeal.cache(AppodealAdType.INTERSTITIAL)

2. Check that ad is loaded and can be shown

// Check that interstitial 
Appodeal.canShow(AppodealAdType.INTERSTITIAL, 'your_placement', (result) =>
    console.log("Interstitial ", result ? "can be shown" : "can not be shown")
)
// Check that banner is loaded 
Appodeal.isLoaded(AppodealAdType.BANNER, (result) =>
    console.log("Banner ", result ? "is loaded" : "is not loaded")
)

3. Show advertising

// Show banner at the top of screen
Appodeal.show(AppodealAdType.BANNER_TOP)
// Show interstitial for specific pacement
Appodeal.show(AppodealAdType.INTERSTITIAL, 'your_placement')

4. Hide

You can hide banner ad after it was shown. Call hide method with another ad types won't affect anything

Appodeal.hide(AppodealAdType.BANNER_TOP)

Consent Manager

Consent manager is used to provide GDPR and CCPA compliance. Consent manager SDK can be synchronized at any moment of application lifecycle. We recommend to synchronize it at application launch. Multiple synchronization calls are allowed.

Required parameter is appKey - Appodeal API Key.

To synchronise user consent you can use following methods. If user consent is required it will shows fullscreen Consent Dialog. Callback will return information about latest user consent and current regulation zone.

import {
    Appodeal,
    AppodealConsentStatus,
    AppodealConsentRegulation,
} from 'react-native-appodeal';

Appodeal.synchroniseConsent('Your appKey', (consent: AppodealConsentStatus, regulation: AppodealConsentRegulation) => {
    // Initialise Appodeal SDK here
})

You can force consent manager to show consent dialog at any moment of application lifecycle after consent manager was synchronised.

import {
    Appodeal,
    AppodealConsentStatus,
    AppodealConsentRegulation,
} from 'react-native-appodeal';

Appodeal.forceShowConsentDialog((consent: AppodealConsentStatus, regulation: AppodealConsentRegulation) => {
    // Handle updated data
})

You can get consent result for specific vendor bundle, that registered in Appodeal system. Eg you can use your application id.

import { Appodeal } from 'react-native-appodeal';

Appodeal.hasConsent('com.organisation.app', (consentResult: boolean) => {
    // Handle updated data
})

Note. Usage of Consent Manager is not required.

Banner View

AppodealBanner is a component that allows you to display ads in a banner format (know as AppodealBannerView).

Banners are available in 3 sizes:

• phone (320x50)
• tablet (728x90)
• mrec (MREC)

Note if you want to show MREC banners in your app, you need to initialise Appodeal SDK with AppodealAdType. MREC

Appodeal Banner View can be used only after Appodeal SDK was initialised. You can use show only one banner on screen. Static banners (top or bottom) can't be used in one session with AppodealBanner.

import {
    AppodealBanner
} from 'react-native-appodeal';

<AppodealBanner
    style = {{
        height: 50,
        width: '100%',
        backgroundColor: 'hsl(0, 0%, 97%)',
        alignContent: 'stretch',
    }}
    adSize = 'phone' />

When banner is added on screen it starts to load ad automatically event if autocache is disabled.

Styling

Height property of banner styles should corresponds to adSize attribute. We recommend to use

adSize	height
'phone'	50
'tablet'	90
'mrec'	250

Callbacks

Banner view has explicit callbacks.

<AppodealBanner
    style = {styles.banner}
    adSize = 'phone'
    onAdLoaded = {() => console.log("Banner view did load")}
    onAdExpired = {() => console.log("Banner view expired")}
    onAdClicked = {() => console.log("Banner view is clicked")}
    onAdFailedToLoad = {() => console.log("Banner view is failed to load")}
/>
