Applovin Bidding does not work with Admob Mediation

[Davit Mkrtchyan]

Hello,

I have integrated the AppLovin network in Unity, with this manual https://developers.google.com/admob/unity/mediation/applovin

The waterfall works as expected but the Applovin bidding returns an error saying "no ad config"

I am using: Unity 2021.3.24f1, AdMob v8.0.0, AppLovin adapter v6.6.0

Hello Davit,

Thank you for the information.

Upon reviewing this, we are suspecting this is an ad serving issue with Applovin. However, to further verify this,  kindly provide us the ad response (https://developers.google.com/admob/unity/response-info) so we may retrieve more details on the error.

[Davit Mkrtchyan]

Hi, thank's for your reply. I've updated the project so now it prints the response info, all you have to do is swipe down with 2 fingers to open the console while running the apk file.

For some reason starting today, bidding networks do not appear in a list of "single ad source test", also instead of Applovin Bidding ad inspector shows "Network not found." just watch the video provided, or run the apk file.

Here is the link to the updated files

Hello Davit,
 
Thank you for the information.
 

Upon reviewing this it seems, the this ad response is coming from on OnAdLoaded rather than OnAdFailedToLoad. We suspect this is the reason you did not receive an ad response from Applovin. To pinpoint the exact error, kindly share to us the ad response on OnAdFailedToLoad.

[Davit Mkrtchyan]

Hello, I think you did not check the files provided. Please watch the video, download the APK file that I've built, check the project, and try it yourself.

There is no "OnAdFailedToLoad" event, all requests are being served by Admb without any error messages, but if you would open the ad inspector you would see that Applovin is not bidding, and there is a message saying "Issue Found"

Also if you would try to select a single Applovin as a single Ad Source in order to get the OnAdFailedToLoad event you will see that it does not exist in the "Single ad source test" list.

I've provided all the files and sample projects as you requested, I've even built an APK and recorded a video, instead of asking me to provide errors that are impossible to get please check the video, APK, and the project.

Hi Davit,

Thank you for your response.

We're able to check your screen replication of the behavior, and tested your APK, and was able to see that Applovin is not seen in when trying to use single ad source. We also checked your sample app project, however, when testing it was returning an error code 2 in our end. Can you confirm if you also encounter this error? In addition to that, can you provide us the SDK and mediation adapter versions you're using? Once provided, we will share this to the wider team to further check. In addition to that, kindly check this article (https://support.google.com/admob/answer/12659455?hl=en&sjid=3719857697071954970-AP) to Troubleshoot issues found using ad inspector.

Hi, I don't recall getting error code 2.

Google Admob SDK Version 8.0.0
Applovin Adapter version 6.6.0

Hi Davit,

Thank you for your response.

Allow me to share this to the wider team to further check. We will update you once we have more information.

Hi Davit,

I hope you're safe and doing fine. 

I just want to circle back on this. The team was able to check this concern and would need additional information from your end. Could you please share a request log (https://developers.google.com/admob/android/ad-inspector#advanced_ad_unit_debugging)?
 

This message is in relation to case "ref:_00D1U1174p._5004Q2lHNIF:ref"
