iAd和Admob集成国家/地区已添加到App Store

Question

I am creating an app that requests iAds and uses Admob in cases where no iAd is received.

I have free and paid versions and use preprocessor macros to differentiate between these versions.

There are 2 possible scenarios:

1. Country supports iAds and Admob (Use iAds code and revert to Admob where no iAd is received)
2. Country supports Admob only (Use Admob code only)

I understand how to deal with these scenarios (using preprocessor macros). However, if a country that is currently not supported by iAds is then added to the list of supported countries, is there any easy way to move them on to use iAds?

I understand from reading Apple documentation that they do not want developers to request iAds for countries where iAds are unsupported.

My plan is to create 2 free versions (1 for each of the scenarios above). However, I'm not sure how to move a country from scenario 2 to scenario 1. Is there a better way to do this?

Answer 1

Have you considered using an ad mediation solution, such as AdMob Mediation ? You get the following benefits:

1. You don't have to write up the mediation fallback logic in your own code.
2. Server-side traffic allocation - it's simple to move traffic from one network to another without having to re-release your app.
3. Country-level targeting. No need for two free versions. Just set up your trafficking to a default allocation that serves only AdMob, and set up country level targeting (which will override the default targeting) to serve up iAd first, and then AdMob if iAd fails.
