Integrating IMA and DFP ads on the same iOS project

[Diogo Balseiro]

Hi

I'm creating an iOS app and need to integrate both Interactive Media ads as well as DFP ads. 

I'm using the following podfile:

  pod 'GoogleAds-IMA-iOS-SDK', '~> 3.0.beta.11'
  pod 'Google-Mobile-Ads-SDK', '~> 7.0.0'

However, compiling the xcode project fails due to duplicate symbols:

Is the podfile incorrect?

Hi Diogo,

If you're using IMA with Google Mobile Ads you'll need to use GoogleAds-IMA-iOS-SDK-For-AdMob instead. If you have any other questions let us know!

Thanks,

Shawn Busolits

Hey, thanks for the quick response.

Changing the above podfile to 'pod 'GoogleAds-IMA-iOS-SDK-For-AdMob', '3.0.beta.11'' successfully removes the compile errors but it install the 6.12.2 version of Google-Mobile-Ads-SDK instead of the latest (7.0.0). 

Is there a more recent version of 'pod 'GoogleAds-IMA-iOS-SDK-For-AdMob' available, or another way to integrate the GMA 7 as well?

Thks

[Shawn Busolits (IMA SDK Team)]

Hi Diogo,

We are working on making sure Google Mobile Ads 7 still works with IMA the same way version 6 did. Once we've verified this we'll be updating the podspec so that IMA installs the latest GMA.

Thanks,

Shawn Busolits

[Diogo Balseiro]

Hi 

Do you have a rough estimation of when that release will happen?

Thanks

[Shawn Busolits (IMA SDK Team)]

Hi Diogo,

Beta 12, which just went out recently, includes AdMob 7, so you should be able to start using that now.

Thanks,

Shawn Busolits

[Diogo Balseiro]

Just noticed this as well. You guys rock ;)

[Dan Morrow]

I think I may have misread this... Does this mean that I don't need to include the "Google-Mobile-Ads-SDK" pod anymore, if I'm using Beta-12?

Thanks,

-Dan.

[Shawn Busolits (IMA SDK Team)]

Hi Dan,

If you're using Cocoapods, GoogleAds-IMA-iOS-SDK-For-AdMob lists Google-Mobile-Ads-SDK as a dependency, so it will be installed automatically when you run `pod install`. If you have any other questions let us know!

Thanks,

Hi, I have the same issue!!

I´m using the following podfile:

pod 'Google-Mobile-Ads-SDK', '~> 7.0'
pod 'GoogleAds-IMA-iOS-SDK', '~> 3.0.beta.14'

I get this!! 24 duplicate symbols for architecture arm64

Hi Angle,

Did you try the solution that originally resolved this case?

"If you're using Cocoapods, GoogleAds-IMA-iOS-SDK-For-AdMob lists Google-Mobile-Ads-SDK as a dependency, so it will be installed automatically when you run `pod install`."

Thanks,

Shawn Busolits

[Shawn Busolits (IMA SDK Team)]

Hi Angel,

To be clear, you should be using GoogleAds-IMA-iOS-SDK-For-AdMob instead of GoogleAds-IMA-iOS-SDK.

Thanks,

Shawn Busolits

[Karen Anne Tolentino]

Hi Shawn,

I do not use Pod. I manually add the SDK.

Initially, I have the GoogleMobileAds.framework in the project. Then I added .framework inside GoogleInteractiveMediaAds-GoogleIMA3.

The problem I experience is the same as the one in this thread. What should be the action to solve it?

Thanks,

Karen

[Shawn Busolits (IMA SDK Team)]

Hi Karen,

You should have two folders in the zip you downloaded - GoogleInteractiveMediaAds-GoogleIMA3 and GoogleInteractiveMediaAds-GoogleIMA3ForAdMob. You'll want to use the framework from the "ForAdMob" folder. Give that a shot and let me know if it works.

Thanks,

Shawn Busolits

IMA SDK Team

[Karen Anne Tolentino]

Yes, it works! Thanks Shawn!

[behea...@gmail.com]

I'm having a similar problem, but not solved with the adMob version.  My app has successufully used google banner ads and when I add the IMA adMob framework, there are many duplicate symbols GAD_GTMStringEncoding.  I have both frameworks in the project.  If I remove the banner ad framework, i have undefined symbols GADRequest, kGADSimulatorID.  

So...

I can run banner ads (without IMA framework) successfully.  GoogleMobileAds.framework 7.3-2.1

I can run IMA ads (without the banner ads framework) successfully.  IMA 3.0.b14

I cannot run them in the same project.

This is using iOS SDK 8.4.

I must be doing something wrong - any ideas?  Does the banner ad API change with IMA?

thanks

-dave

[Shawn Busolits (IMA SDK Team)]

Hi Dave,

Interesting, those are the exact errors we would expect to see if you were using the non-AdMob version of our SDK. Could you double check to make sure your framework search paths list is pointing to the directory with the AdMob version of our framework, and *not* to the directory with the non-AdMob version? If it happens to be pointing to both (which happens sometimes) it could be preferring the non-AdMob version over the AdMob version. There may be other paths there other than the IMA paths - you should leave those alone.

Thanks,

Shawn Busolits

IMA SDK Team

[behea...@gmail.com]

Thanks Shawn - of course you are correct!  It was the paths - after my machinations with the frameworks, the linker path had both adMob and non-adMob paths with the non-adMob first.  Seems Xcode did not remove the path from the link PATH after I removed a framework.  When I fixed the link PATH, it worked.   This is probably my fault too - I suspect I may have deleted the framework from the project tree view of files in some manual way, rather than using the "-" method in the project General view. 

Thanks for the fast response!

Hello Shawn Busolits

 i am using google mobile ads frame work and IMA to the same project i am facing the issue like file conflict i am sharing the screen shot as well .I am unable to find the proper frame work kindly help me regarding this and please provide proper links .Thank you 

[Veer Arjun Busani]

Hi there,

We have a Mobile Ads and IMA bundled iOS framework that would eliminate this issue. You can download our IMA iOS SDK and copy the framework in the GoogleInteractiveMediaAds-GoogleIMA3ForAdMob folder if you want to manually integrate the SDK. Alternatively, you can use this pod to integrate both of the SDKs. 

Also, I would like to request to please open a new thread incase you need any more assistance.

Thanks,

Arjun Busani

Hi i install the IMA frame work admit and its working fine for both google mobile ads and IMA but i am facing an issue i want to run the same frame work in iOS 7 swell please provide me the  links as well .

Thank you 

[Veer Arjun Busani]

Hi there,

While the Mobile Ads SDK still supports iOS 6, the IMA SDK (from v3.3.1) has deprecated support for iOS 7 and the minimum supported version is iOS 8.

Thanks,

Arjun Busani
IMA SDK Team

[Paul Norton]

Like Karen, I'm trying to add the SDKs without using Cocoapods.

I'm not finding a `GoogleInteractiveMediaAds-GoogleIMA3ForAdMob` folder in the zip, was it removed? Has the approach changed?

Thanks,

Paul

[Veer Arjun Busani]

Hi Paul,

The IMA iOS SDK is now a dynamic framework and you do need a special bundle to include the Mobile Ads framework. You can now include our standalone IMA framework and add the Mobile Ads SDK separately.

Thanks,

Arjun Busani
IMA SDK Team

[Paul Norton]

Hi Arjun, 

Thank you so much, it didn't work originally, but I think that was just a matter of having older versions of the frameworks.

Thanks,

Paul
