Ad revenue

Suggest Edits

The app sends impression revenue data to the AppsFlyer SDK. The SDK then sends it to AppsFlyer. These impression data is collected and processed in AppsFlyer, and the revenue is attributed to the original UA source. To learn more about ad revenue see here.

There are two ways for the SDK to generate an ad revenue event, depending on your SDK version. Use the correct method for your SDK version:

Log ad revenue (for SDK 6.15.0 and above)

When an impression with revenue occurs invoke the logAdRevenue method with the revenue details of the impression.

📘

Note

If you are using the AdRevenue connector, please remove it before switching to the new logAdRevenue method. Failing to do so may cause unexpected behavior.

To implement the method:

  1. Create an instance of AFAdRevenueData with the revenue details of the impression to be logged.
  2. If you want to add additional details to the ad revenue event, populate a dictionary with key-value pairs.
  3. Invoke the  logAdRevenue method with the following arguments:
    • The AFAdRevenueData object you created in step 1.
    • The dictionary with the additional details you created in step 2.

Code Example

import AppsFlyerLib


let my_adRevenueData = AFAdRevenueData(monetizationNetwork: "ironsource",
                        mediationNetwork: MediationNetworkType.googleAdMob,
                        currencyIso4217Code: "USD",
                        eventRevenue: 123.45)
        
var my_additionalParameters: [String: Any] = [:]
my_additionalParameters[kAppsFlyerAdRevenueCountry] = "US"
my_additionalParameters[kAppsFlyerAdRevenueAdType] = "Banner"
my_additionalParameters[kAppsFlyerAdRevenueAdUnit] = "89b8c0159a50ebd1"
my_additionalParameters[kAppsFlyerAdRevenuePlacement] = "place"

AppsFlyerLib.shared().logAdRevenue(my_adRevenueData, additionalParameters: my_additionalParameters)

[LEGACY] Log ad revenue (for SDK 6.14.6 and below)

To integrate the iOS ad revenue SDK connector, you need to import, initialize, and trigger the SDK.

Import the iOS ad revenue SDK

  1. In your Podfile, specify the following: 
pod 'AppsFlyer-AdRevenue'

Important: If you have the AppsFlyerFramework pod in your Podfile, remove it to avoid a collision.

  1. Run the pod update.

Initialize the iOS ad revenue SDK

  • In AppDelegate, in the didFinishLaunchingWithOptions method, call the AdRevenue start method using the following code:
import AppsFlyerLib
import AppsFlyerAdRevenue

@UIApplicationMain
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {
  

    func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
       AppsFlyerAdRevenue.start()
    }

     @objc func applicationDidBecomeActive() {
        AppsFlyerLib.shared().start()        
    }

}

Trigger the logAdRevenue API call

  • Trigger the logAdRevenue API call upon every valid impression, including mandatory, and any optional, arguments.
let adRevenueParams:[AnyHashable: Any] = [
                    kAppsFlyerAdRevenueCountry : "US",
                    kAppsFlyerAdRevenueAdUnit : "02134568",
                    kAppsFlyerAdRevenueAdType : "Banner",
                    kAppsFlyerAdRevenuePlacement : "place",
                    "foo" : "testcustom",
                    "bar" : "testcustom2"
                ]
                
AppsFlyerAdRevenue.shared().logAdRevenue(
    monetizationNetwork: "facebook",
    mediationNetwork: MediationNetworkType.googleAdMob,
    eventRevenue: 0.026,
    revenueCurrency: "USD",
    additionalParameters: adRevenueParams)
