Prerequisites

Do iOS Get Started until finishing step 5

Step summary

Add the initialization code.
Add the ad wrapper views in your app.
Follow our ad format guides for their implementation.
Test everything is working.
Change everything to production code.
Your app is now prepared for monetization with us.

We only mention how to create wrappers and not triggers because the way a trigger is fetch for its use is highly dependant on your specific app code.

Wrappers and Triggers/Events are used for different formats, each ad format page tells you what you need to use (wrapper or trigger) to display it.

Initialize the SDK

We require the SDK to be initialized only once and as early as possible It can be done either inside your UIApplicationDelegate.application(_:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:) method or inside the first UIViewController.viewDidLoad() method.

Initialization inside the UIApplicationDelegate.application(_:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:) delegate method.

import UIKit
import R89SDK

@main
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {

    func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
        // This is for testing purposes, remove it on prod
        R89SDK.shared.setLogLevel(level: LogLevels.debug)
        // This is for testing purposes, remove it on prod
        R89SDK.shared.setDebug() // This is for testing purposes, remove it on prod
        // publisherId and appId are for testing purposes, remove it on prod
        R89SDK.shared.initialize(
          publisherId: "TestRefinery89ID",
          appId: "TestDemoApp",
          singleLine: false,
          publisherInitializationEvents: nil
        )
        return true
    }
}

Your publisherId and appId will be provided to you during onboarding process by email, you can also retrieve them from the web interface after login.

This appID is not the same GADApplicationIdentifier provided in the Info.plist in previous steps.

Add wrappers to your views

Wrappers are the UIView container inside which the ads will show. You need to add as many ad slots or ad places as you desire.

You can add the wrappers using XCode’s UI Builder or programmatically, for more see the iOS Creating a wrapper.

Follow our ad format guides.

Go into production

Remove the methods R89SDK.shared.setDebug().
Change the GADApplicationIdentifier in the info.plist for the production one.
Change the appId and publisherId in the initialization method for the production ones.
Change the r89ConfigId in the formats for the production ones.
it’s also recommended to remove R89SDK.shared.setLogLevel(level: LogLevels.debug) but not needed.

How does it work?

We fetch all ad unit configurations from our Database and you simply need to place the ad units using the RefineryAdFactory and the r89ConfigurationIDs we provide you. Incorporate them into the desired views.

Check iOS - Ad Formats to see how each format is implemented.
