Before You Begin

To integrate the Bidease SDK, you need an active publisher account on the Bidease Monetize platform.

Prerequisites:

• Minimum deployment target: iOS 13.0
• Minimal Xcode version: 16.4
• Minimal AppLovin MAX version: 13

1. Installation

Current published version: 2.2.2.

Podfile

platform :ios, '13.0'

pod 'BideaseSDK/AdapterAppLovinMax', '2.2.2'

warning

Always use the latest available SDK version from Bidease.

2. Initialization

2.1. Getting your App Key

Your App Key is available in the Bidease Monetize dashboard:

1. Log in to your account at monetize.bidease.com
2. Go to Applications
3. Open the required application
4. Copy the App Key

2.2. Set Bidease App Key

Before initializing AppLovin MAX, set your Bidease app key:

Swift

import BideaseMobileSDK
import BideaseAdapterAppLovin

BideaseAppLovinMediationAdapter.setInitParams(
  InitParams(
      key: "YOUR_APP_KEY",
      privacyParams: PrivacyConfig(/* see Privacy & Consent */),
      customProps: ["ipv4": "203.0.113.17"]
  )
)

Objective-C

In Objective-C, call one of the setInitParamsWithKey: overloads — the setInitParams: form that takes an InitParams object is not exported to Objective-C.

#import <BideaseAdapterAppLovin/BideaseAdapterAppLovin-Swift.h>

// Minimal — app key only
[BideaseAppLovinMediationAdapter setInitParamsWithKey:@"YOUR_APP_KEY"];

// App key + custom props
[BideaseAppLovinMediationAdapter setInitParamsWithKey:@"YOUR_APP_KEY"
  customProps:@{ @"ipv4": @"203.0.113.17" }];

// Full privacy + custom props
[BideaseAppLovinMediationAdapter setInitParamsWithKey:@"YOUR_APP_KEY"
  coppaEnabled:NO
  subjectToGdpr:@YES
  subjectToCoppa:@NO
  usPrivacyString:@"1YNN"
  gppString:nil
  gppSid:@[ @2, @6 ]
  userConsentString:@"consent-string"
  subjectToLgpd:@NO
  customProps:@{ @"ipv4": @"203.0.113.17" }];

warning

Replace YOUR_APP_KEY with the App Key from your Bidease Monetize dashboard.

note

Only the app key is required. In Swift use BideaseAppLovinMediationAdapter.setInitParams(InitParams(key: "YOUR_APP_KEY")); in Objective-C use [BideaseAppLovinMediationAdapter setInitParamsWithKey:@"YOUR_APP_KEY"].

3. Configure Bidease in AppLovin MAX Dashboard

Before configuring AppLovin MAX, ensure your app and placements are registered in the Bidease Monetize dashboard. Set up your placements →

5. Click Save

note

Allow 30–60 minutes for changes to take effect.

4. Privacy & Consent

Privacy signals and custom props are passed to the Bidease SDK via InitParams at initialization. Set them when you initialize the SDK, or update them at runtime via BideaseMobile.setPrivacyParams(...) / setCustomProps(...).

COPPA

Not for child-directed traffic. Bidease does not purchase or monetize traffic from applications directed to children or to individuals under the age of 13. Publishers are solely responsible for identifying child-directed inventory under COPPA and other applicable laws and must not integrate the Bidease SDK into, or send any traffic or personal data from, such inventory.

import BideaseMobileSDK

let privacyParams = PrivacyConfig(
    coppaEnabled: false,
    subjectToGdpr: true,
    subjectToCoppa: false,
    usPrivacyString: "1YNN",
    gppString: "DBACNYA~CPXxRfAPXxRfAAfKABENB-CgAAAAAAAAAAYgAAAAAAAA~1YNN",
    gppSid: [2, 6],
    userConsentString: "CPXxRfAPXxRfAAfKABENB-CgAAAAAAAAAAYgAAAAAAAA",
    subjectToLgpd: true
)

Field	Type	Description
coppaEnabled	Bool?	Enable COPPA compliance
subjectToGdpr	Bool?	Subject to GDPR
subjectToCoppa	Bool?	Subject to COPPA
usPrivacyString	String?	IAB US Privacy string (e.g. "1YNN")
gppString	String?	IAB GPP consent string
gppSid	[Int]?	GPP section IDs
userConsentString	String?	IAB TCF consent string
subjectToLgpd	Bool?	Subject to Brazilian LGPD

5. SKAdNetwork IDs

The Bidease SDK supports SKAdNetwork so partner networks can attribute installs when IDFA is unavailable. Add the SKAdNetworkItems entry to your Info.plist:

1. In Xcode, select Info.plist in the Project navigator.
2. Right-click Info.plist → Open As → Source Code.
3. Copy the SKAdNetworkItems array from the file below and paste it into your Info.plist.

Download SKAdNetworkItems.plistApple SKAdNetwork IDs

6. Test Mode

Option 1: Enable via Code

Podfile

pod 'BideaseSDK/AdapterAppLovinMax', '2.2.2'
pod 'BideaseSDK/TestMode', '2.2.2'

Option 2: Enable via Dashboard

1. Go to Applications and open the required app
2. Navigate to Test Devices and add the devices you want to test on — use IDFA (iOS)
3. Enable Test for the application

7. QA Checklist

Read before shipping

• Test Mode provides nearly 100% fill — expected behavior for QA only.
• Disable Test Mode before submitting your app to the App Store.
• Ensure IDFA tracking is enabled on your test device so the Bidease team can review logs.
• If you run into any issues, contact your Bidease account manager.
