Mediation with Vungle interstitials not working

[Gabriel M. Popescu]

Trying to implement Vungle mediation on Android but hit some issues.

My steps:

                - added Google Mobile Ads Unity Plugin v3.7.1

                - Added our app id and interstial ads id

                - added Vungle SDK 5.3.0 (2 jars in Assets\Plugins\Android\Vungle_lib | vunglePlugin.jar & vunglePub.jar)

                - added VungleAdapter 2.2.0 in Plugins\Android

               

I Get:

Could not request interstitial ad from adapter.

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Failed resolution of: Lcom/vungle/mediation/VungleManager;

at com.vungle.mediation.VungleInterstitialAdapter.requestInterstitialAd(VungleInterstitialAdapter.java:68)

Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Failed resolution of: Lcom/vungle/publisher/EventListener;

 

Tried adding EventListener from a different VunglePub.jar > vungle-publisher-adaptive-id-4.1.0 and got:

Could not request interstitial ad from adapter. java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: No virtual method init(Landroid/content/Context;Ljava/lang/String;)Z in class Lcom/vungle/publisher/VunglePub; or its super classes

Any ideas or links to implementing this Vungle mediation?

Thanks

Hello, 

Thank you for contacting us. There might be an issue integrating the Vungle SDK and Adapter. You may refer to our Mediation guide which illustrates steps to include SDK and Adapter on Android. You may also refer to the Vungle integration guide where you can download the latest SDK and Adapter. Once you download the latest SDK and Adapter, you will have to add them to the Assets > Plugins > Android > GoogleMobileAdsPlugin > libs folder. Please refer to the additional steps mentioned here for implementing AdMob mediation with Vungle. Let me know if you run into any issues and I'll be happy to assist you further.

Hi Bharani,

Thanks for the quick response.

Moved the files VunglePub, VunglePlugin & VungleAdaptor to GoogleMobileAds/libs and double checked all the 5 steps in https://support.vungle.com/hc/en-us/articles/207604108

Result:

1) direct build&run from Unity > No fill for any networks (double checked the ad unit and Vungle is on top, all others disabled)

2) export gradle project -> build android studio > Same error as mentioned in prev post

Any ideas on what to try next?

Thanks

Hello Gabriel, 

Thank you for the additional details. No fill error is usually experienced when there is no ad returned from the ad server. Can you provide us your Ad Unit ID, so I can take a look? Do look out for an email from us requesting your Ad Unit ID privately. 

Additionally, if you're implementing the Unity Mediation, you will be able to compile the project using the Unity Editor directly.

Hi Gabriel, 

Thank you for the details. You implementation looks fine and I was able to load ads without any issues with your sample app. It looks like you're trying to load the video interstitials, so there is ~1-2 second delay loading the video ad. All the callback events are called correctly. You can take a look at the attached screen recording and the logs for the sample app. Can you try loading the ads again and record the logs so I can take a look and assist you further?

Hi Bharani,

I would like to know which version of Unity plugin is compatible with which version of Vungle SDK.

Regards,

Axel

[Bharani Cherukuri (Mobile Ads SDK Team)]

Hi Axel,

The current version of Unity v3.9.0 and v.3.8.0 are now compatible with the latest version of Vungle v5.3.0. If you're using previous versions of the Unity plugin, you will have to use an older version of the SDK, as the 5.x Vungle SDK requires placements, which was not supported by Admob's Unity plugin. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Using version 3.10 of the plugin and Vungle 5.3 does not work on Android.  Unity version is 5.4.

All Vungle SDK files are in:

Assets/Plugins/Android/GoogleMobileAds/Lib
Vungle Adapter is in
Assets/Plugins/Android/

Manifest has been updated.

Also noticed precache error, not sure if it is related to Vungle.

Hi Joe, 

Thank you for contacting us. Could you provide us a sample project of your implementation along with the detailed steps to reproduce the precache error, so I can take a look and assist you further? Please use Reply privately to author option to share the details.

I am no longer seeing the precache error, I think it might be due to vungle not correctly being setup?

5.3 vungle requires a totally different setup which is different from the previous version.

This page found on vungle provides a working setup.
