Using YouApi SDK on your project

Example is shown for rewarded ad unit, but behavior is the same for all ad units.

• Create YouAppi instance an initialize it using your Access Token:

  // Use YouAppi library
  using YouAPPiSDK.Api;
   
  // Create YouAppi instance and initialize it
   
  youAppi = new YouAppi();
  Debug.Log("Initialize YouAppi SDK");
  youAppi.initialize("<Your Access Token>");

• Create a rewarded video instance with and arbitrary ad unit id. Please make sure that ad unit id is constructed only from letters, numbers or underscores.
• Connect the rewarded video with LoadSuccess and LoadFailure events. If rewarded video is loaded successfully then show it.
• Load rewarded video ad unit.

  rewardedVideoAd = youAppi.rewardedVideo("RewardedVideoAdUnitId");
  rewardedVideoAd.LoadSuccess += (sender, AdUnitEventArg) => {
      Debug.Log("Rewarded video was loaded");
      rewardedVideoAd.show();
  };
   
  rewardedVideoAd.LoadFailure += (sender, ErrorEventArgs) => {
      Debug.Log("Failed loading rewarded video. Reason: " + ErrorEventArgs._errorCode + ", message: " + ErrorEventArgs._errorMessage);
  };
   
  rewardedVideoAd.load();

youAppi.initialize(accessToken, userConsent);

youAppi.userConsent = true;

youAppi.ageRestrictedUser = true;

• • Go to File → Build Settings…

• On Player Settings… under Other Settings section make sure that:
  • Archtecture is set to Universal
  • Scripting Backend is set to IL2CP
    
    
• Press Export and select the folder on which the iOS project will be created.
• Add the YouAppi.framework to General → Embedded Binaries
  
• Change to YES inside the build settings under the option ALWAYS_EMBED_SWIFT_STANDARD_LIBRARIES.
  
• Change to YES inside the build settings under the option DEFINES_MODULE.
  

Build and archive for Apple store

In order to build and archive your app for the Apple Store you need to add the following:

• Go to your app target.
• Select Build Phases.
• Go to Run Script section (you can add it by pressing + button if it doesn’t exist).

• Add the following line in the text box:

  "${BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR}/${FRAMEWORKS_FOLDER_PATH}/YouAppiYagaMoat.framework/strip-frameworks.sh"

• It should look like this:
  

Load and Show best practices

• Make sure to init the SDK as soon as the app starts. It might take few seconds to complete the init process.
• Make sure to load the ad about 30 seconds before you want to show it, since it takes time for the ad and assets to be prepared.
• make Make sure to show an ad as close as possible to loading an ad, in order to have a better fill rate and relevant ads.
• Make sure not to wait too long before showing an ad, since the ad will be expired 5 hours after being called for. In other words, “show” must be performed no more than 5 hours after the “load”.
• Use ad event listeners in order to be notified when an ad is ready to be shown.
• Use ad event listeners to handle load and show.
• Loading an ad too many times without showing it might cause YouAppi servers to block the SDK from requests.
