I am trying to load ads from Facebook Audience Network and it is not working at all. I cannot get any more details apart from the fact that the MAInterstitialAd.isReady always returns false. However, I can load ads from AppLovin's network just fine.
Expected Behavior
I am able to select Facebook as the live network and load an ad using it.
How to Reproduce
Below is the code I am using to load and display the ads. I use SwiftUI so I had to do some extra adjustments with the view controllers. The code has been basically taken from AppLovin's integration guide for iOS and adapted to SwiftUI's needs:
import SwiftUI
import AppTrackingTransparency
import UIKit
import AppLovinSDK
class AppLovingInterstitialAdLoader: NSObject {
var interstitialAd: MAInterstitialAd!
//Want to have one instance of the ad for the entire app
//We can do this b/c you will never show more than 1 ad at once so only 1 ad needs to be loaded
static let shared = AppLovingInterstitialAdLoader()
func loadAd() {
self.interstitialAd = MAInterstitialAd(adUnitIdentifier: "MY-APPLOVING-AD-UNIT-ID")
self.interstitialAd.load()
}
}
struct AppLovinInterstitialView: UIViewControllerRepresentable {
//Here's the Ad Object we just created
let interstitialAd: MAInterstitialAd! = AppLovingInterstitialAdLoader.shared.interstitialAd
var retryAttempt = 0.0
@Binding var isPresented: Bool
init(isPresented: Binding<Bool>) {
self._isPresented = isPresented
}
func makeCoordinator() -> Coordinator {
Coordinator(self)
}
//Make's a SwiftUI View from a UIViewController
func makeUIViewController(context: Context) -> UIViewController {
let view = UIViewController()
//Show the ad after a slight delay to ensure the ad is loaded and ready to present
DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + .milliseconds(1)) {
self.showAd(from: view)
}
return view
}
func updateUIViewController(_ uiViewController: UIViewController, context: Context) {
}
//Presents the ad if it can, otherwise dismisses so the user's experience is not interrupted
func showAd(from root: UIViewController) {
if let ad = interstitialAd, ad.isReady {
// MY FAM PLACEMENT_ID IS HERE. IT IS A VALID, COPIED PLACEMENT_ID FROM FB MONETISATION MANAGER.
// SHOULD I BE PASSING HERE SOMETHING ELSE OR DIFFERENTLY?
ad.show(forPlacement: "XXX_YYY", customData: nil, viewController: root)
} else {
print("Ad not ready")
self.isPresented.toggle()
}
}
class Coordinator: NSObject, MAAdDelegate {
var parent: AppLovinInterstitialView
init(_ parent: AppLovinInterstitialView) {
self.parent = parent
super.init()
self.parent.interstitialAd?.delegate = self
}
func didFailToLoadAd(forAdUnitIdentifier adUnitIdentifier: String, withError error: MAError) {
// Interstitial ad failed to load
// We recommend retrying with exponentially higher delays up to a maximum delay (in this case 64 seconds)
self.parent.retryAttempt += 1
let delaySec = pow(2.0, min(6.0, self.parent.retryAttempt))
DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + delaySec) {
AppLovingInterstitialAdLoader.shared.loadAd()
}
print("didFailToLoadAd")
}
func didDisplay(_ ad: MAAd) {
// Pause your app's background audio
print("Ad displayed")
}
func didClick(_ ad: MAAd) {
print("Ad clicked")
}
func didHide(_ ad: MAAd) {
// Resume your app's background audio
// Interstitial ad is hidden. Pre-load the next ad
AppLovingInterstitialAdLoader.shared.loadAd()
print("Ad hidden")
}
func didFail(toDisplay ad: MAAd, withError error: MAError) {
// Interstitial ad failed to display. We recommend loading the next ad
AppLovingInterstitialAdLoader.shared.loadAd()
print("didFail")
}
func didLoad(_ ad: MAAd) {
// Interstitial ad is ready to be shown. 'interstitialAd.isReady' will now return 'true'
// Reset retry attempt
self.parent.retryAttempt = 0
}
}
}
Additional Info
Everything in the Facebook Monetisation Manager seems to be configured properly
Please see the attached screenshots with more details
In the code, Facebook SDK and FBAdSettings are initialized first and then AppLovinSDK is initialized. See the code below for details:
I have allowed App Tracking, I have a native iOS Facebook app installed on the same iPhone, I am logged into Facebook both in the native app and in my app
I have the latest versions of both SDKs and I have the AppLovin's Adapter for Facebook in my Xcode project
private func initializeAppLovin() {
// MARK: AppLoving Stuff
// Please make sure to set the mediation provider value to "max" to ensure proper functionality
let settings = ALSdkSettings()
settings.termsAndPrivacyPolicyFlowSettings.isEnabled = true
settings.termsAndPrivacyPolicyFlowSettings.privacyPolicyURL = URL(string: "https://xyz.com/privacy")
settings.termsAndPrivacyPolicyFlowSettings.termsOfServiceURL = URL(string: "https://xyz.com/terms")
ALSdk.shared()!.mediationProvider = "max"
let userIdForAppLovin = getUserId()
ALSdk.shared()!.userIdentifier = userIdForAppLovin
ALSdk.shared()!.initializeSdk { (configuration: ALSdkConfiguration) in
// Start loading ads
}
// MARK: AppLoving Stuff
}
func application(
_ application: UIApplication,
didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?
