Integrate maio with mediation

This guide shows you how to use the Google Mobile Ads SDK to load and display ads from maio using mediation, covering waterfall integrations. It covers how to add maio to an ad unit's mediation configuration, and how to integrate the maio SDK and adapter into a Unity app.

The dashboard interface for maio uses Japanese text for its labels, buttons, and descriptions, and the screenshots in this guide have not been translated. However, in descriptions and instructions here, labels and buttons are referred to by their English language equivalents. "URL スキーム," for example, is "URL Scheme,".

OpenUPM

In your Unity project editor, select Edit > Project Settings > Package Manager to open the Unity Package Manager Settings.

Under the Scoped Registries tab, add OpenUPM as a scoped registry with the following details:

  • Name: OpenUPM
  • URL: https://package.openupm.com
  • Scope(s): com.google

OpenUPM Details

Then, navigate to Window > Package Manager to open the Unity Package Manager and select My Registries from the drop-down menu.

Unity Registries

Select the Google Mobile Ads maio Mediation package and click Install.

Install from OpenUPM

Unity Package

Download the latest version of Google Mobile Ads mediation plugin for maio from the download link in the Changelog and extract the GoogleMobileAdsMaioMediation.unitypackage from the zip file.

Step 4: Add required code

iOS

SKAdNetwork integration

Follow maio's documentation to add the SKAdNetwork identifiers to your project's Info.plist file.

Step 5: Test your implementation

Enable test ads

Make sure you register your test device for AdMob.

Publishers using version 7.26.0 or higher of the Google Mobile Ads SDK will automatically receive test ads from maio on phones and tablets registered as test devices when making requests.

Verify test ads

To verify that you are receiving test ads from maio, enable single ad source testing in ad inspector using the maio (Waterfall) ad source(s).
