I'm now planning to switch my ads in iOS apps from adWhirl to AdMob
Mediation.

It seems that AdMob Mediation don't have a method like
"updateAdWhirlConfig" and terribly display the same AdNetwork ads.
I think Mediation uses the percentage information just once.

So I hesitate to switch from adWhirl to AdMob Mediation.

So my question is,,

When AdWhirl service stops in some future, are you going to announce
in advance and give enough time to switch?

I'm really worry about the future of AdWhirl.

I really appreciate all support members in AdWhirl, it's so handy
service!

Thank you.

Hello Kaam,

AdMob Mediation determines the network order server side and caches the order for 300 seconds so that it doesn't have to hit the server on every refresh.  So the ads that are displayed from a particular network are streaky compared to AdWhirl, which randomly determines the order client-side on every refresh.

AdWhirl will continue to be maintained for now.  When it's time to stop supporting AdWhirl, we plan to give sufficient notice time.  Also, note that the code is open source, so it's possible that someone continues to maintain it.

Cheers,
Eric
