• This page explains how to view and verify adapters associated with your ad sources using Ad Inspector.

• Before starting, ensure you have completed the initial prerequisites and launched the Ad Inspector.

• The Adapters section in Ad Inspector displays a list of all associated adapters, including their initialization statuses and version information.

• You can also view custom event adapters, which are identified by unique class names and their assigned labels from the AdMob UI.

This page covers steps on viewing and verifying adapters associated with your ad sources.

Prerequisites

Before you continue, do the following:

• Complete all items in the initial Prerequisites to create an AdMob account, set your test device, initialize Google Mobile Ads SDK, and install the latest version.
• Launch ad inspector.

You can view a list of all adapters associated with the ad sources configured in your app. To view the list, complete the following steps:

1. In the Ad inspector page, click Adapters.

2. Expand the cards to view initialization statuses and adapter and third-party SDK versions.

If the adapter isn't found or fails to initialize, see Troubleshoot issues found using ad inspector.

View custom event adapters

You can also view custom event adapters. Custom events lets you set up waterfall mediation for an ad source that AdMob doesn't support. In the adapter list, Custom events are distinct by unique class names. In addition to providing the class name, ad inspector also displays labels assigned to those custom events in the AdMob UI. For more details on custom events, see Create custom events.

Earlier implementations of custom events, such as prior to the Google Mobile Ads SDK version 20.0.0 (Android) and 9.0.0 (iOS), can use deprecated subclasses that don't support initialization and return Issue found within ad inspector. If you see the Issue found warning, and your custom event integration works as expected, check if your app is using a deprecated interface and replace the interface with an adapter class. For details, see Adapter (Android) | GADMediationAdapter (iOS).
