Getting Started

To get started, here is the link to iOS SDK integration documentation.

Note:

Per Apple's direction, we have built our latest SDK against its iOS 14.5 release candidate (RC) as distributed to iOS developers on April 20th, 2021, and recommend all of our iOS publishing partners build against this release. Additionally, per Apple's documentation, ensure apps are submitted against the iOS 14.5 RC version, and built using Xcode 12.5 Release Candidate. Beginning Starting April 26, 2021, all iPhone and iPad apps submitted to the App Store must be built with Xcode 12 and the iOS 14 SDK or later. For further questions, please contact your AdColony Monetization Manager, or email [email protected].

• Tested and verified on iOS 14.5
• Xcode 12.5 and up
• Works on iOS 9 and above.
• Not backwards compatible with any AdColony 2.0 integrations due to major API changes.

Upgrading

SDK 2.X

Please note that updating from our 2.x SDK is not a drag and drop update, but rather includes breaking API and process changes. In order to take advantage of the 3.x SDK, a complete re-integration is necessary. Please review our documentation to get a better idea on what changes will be necessary in your app.

For detailed information about the AdColony SDK, see our iOS SDK documentation.

SDK 3.X

Updating from 3.x SDK is still drag and drop update although you'll see deprecation warnings on interstitial API. 3.x interstitial API is still fully functional and will remain fully functional at least until iOS 14 release. Just drag and drop the framework into your Xcode project. If you are using Cocoapods, sync with the latest by running pod update.

For detailed information about the AdColony SDK, see our iOS SDK documentation.
