Integration

This page shows you how to download, configure, and initialize the AppLovin MAX Cordova Plugin.

Download the Latest Plugin

Download the AppLovin MAX Cordova plugin through npm by issuing the following command:

Terminal window
cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-applovin-max

If you want to receive release updates, subscribe to the AppLovin MAX Cordova Plugin GitHub repository.

Enable Ad Review

To enable the MAX Ad Review service, follow the instructions below for Android or iOS:

Android Instructions

Add the following at the end of your build.gradle files:

Additions to Root-Level build.gradle File

buildscript {
repositories {
maven { url 'https://artifacts.applovin.com/android' }
}
dependencies {
classpath "com.applovin.quality:AppLovinQualityServiceGradlePlugin:+"
}
}

Additions to App-Level build.gradle File

apply plugin: 'applovin-quality-service'
applovin {
apiKey "«your-ad-review-key»"
}

You can find your Ad Review Key in the Account > General > Keys section of the AppLovin dashboard.

iOS Instructions

Download AppLovinQualityServiceSetup-ios.rb and move it into your project folder. Open a terminal window, cd to your project directory, and run:

Terminal window
ruby AppLovinQualityServiceSetup-ios.rb

Initialize the SDK

Add the code snippet below into your app’s main home screen:

var AppLovinMAX = cordova.require('cordova-plugin-applovin-max.AppLovinMAX');
AppLovinMAX.initialize("«SDK-key»", function (configuration) {
// SDK is initialized, start loading ads
});

You can find your SDK key in the Account > General > Keys section of the AppLovin dashboard.

Ad assets that are fully cached result in a better user experience. For this reason, always initialize the AppLovin SDK on startup. This gives mediated networks the maximum amount of time to cache ads. This is especially important with video ads.

iOS 14 Support

In iOS 14, Apple introduced global privacy policy changes. Apple requires applications to comply with these new policies. If you fail to comply, you may lose revenue. This section explains how to comply.

SKAdNetwork

Update your app’s Info.plist with network-specific identifiers. See the SKAdNetwork documentation for instructions.

You must obtain consent from your users in certain jurisdictions on behalf of AppLovin’s monetization partners. You must also correctly pass consent values to AppLovin. To learn how to do these things, review the Privacy–Consent, Age-Related Flags, and Data APIs documentation.

iOS 15 Global SKAdNetwork Reporting

Starting in iOS 15, Apple allows developers to send a copy of their SKAdNetwork install postbacks to an endpoint of their choice. MAX provides a Global SKAdNetwork Report (MAX > Mediation > Analyze > Global SKA Report) with which developers can access the SKAdNetwork data across all their network partners in one place.

To leverage the MAX Global SKAdNetwork Report, enable iOS 15 SKAdNetwork reporting. You can do this by using the app’s config.xml:

  1. In your app’s config.xml, create a new key named NSAdvertisingAttributionReportEndpoint of type String.
  2. Give that key the value: https://postbacks-app.com.

The final result should look something like this:

<key>NSAdvertisingAttributionReportEndpoint</key>
<string>https://postbacks-app.com</string>
